L O N D O N T I P S

Since lots of our uni-mates are planning to spend their winter break in London ,
so here something that may help ya guys to plan them well .


TICKET

The tickets , we made an alert at SkyScanner.net , to get the cheapest ticket ,
and we already confirmed the date , which is we should be fly on 10th July , but unfortunately ,
Egypt was on bad condition , and our exam was postponed , we shall pay for the penalty about RM 400 or 80GBP . But the exact price of the ticket is RM 1600. We choose Air France from Cai - Paris - London .
The flight was not so exciting like we used to naik like , Emirates Etihad blablabla but its worth the price .

TRANSPORT IN LONDON

Yeah , we choose to be independent , like other travellers do . So , for our 9 days stay ,we bought the Travel Card ( 7 days) plus 2 days , about 50GBP .So, you dont need to pay as you go when you have the travel card with ya .

PLACE TO STAY

We chose Walthamstow , which is about 40 minutes away from the heart of London , but the hostel was the cheapest we can get , which is 11GBP per night , ala bukan nak stay all day long pun , kata travel , so balik hostel just to get some sleep and mandi etc . The hostel is East London Hostel , which is too susah to find , and the manager wasnt friendly , and they even charge us for things we dont responsible pun , they even buang our sudu garpu , pfft okay emonya . Their bathroom , tak bersih , bilik mandi which is a cube inside the dorm , tersumbat , and yucks ! okay I gave 2/5 for this .But yet , its the cheapest we can get , they got kitchen to masak masak .

LONDON PASS

We choose to buy a 3 day London Pass for 73GBP . and yeah , its worth it , thats all !

FOOD

We brought along our food like Maggi , and snacks , so we can makan while jenjalan , sebab naik public transport , dan penat like hell , so boleh lah nak alas perut , tapi , kalau nak makan kt sana , tak sampai 50GBP pun utk 3 kali makan , heyy pandai pilih tempat makan , and what to eat la . Makan to live okay ?
The best part , we went to Starbuck like every  sebab sejuk , and need to heat up with coffee . one of the best memories there , sebab tak minum pun Starbuck kt sini nor at Malaysia pun .haha .

BAJU

It gave me a lot of penyesalan , sebabnya kat sana baju dah la lawa , murah pulak tu , so dont need to bring baju banyak banyak , bawak sekadar perlu je . and Luggage , not too small nor too big , just nice . takut nanti you kena buang barang dekat airport sebab sangat strict about the luggage !

VAT

Whenever you buy above 30 GBP , dont forget to ask for the VAT at the cashier , and claim balik dekat airport.

APPS 

Just download the city mapper at the APPS STORE OR APPLE STORE ,SO IT WILL GUIDE YOU TO PLACE YOU WISH TO GO .

SIMCARD

Ask your friends who studying there , boleh lah mintak tlg diorang belikan , or ada lebih ke , sebab its too hard to buy the simcard there . Or you may buy the pay as you go  , then its okay .

PLACES 

THIS IS THE MUST GO PLACE :

1. PORTOBELLO ROAD MARKET : avoid from being there on weekend ! pergi masa weekdays , and buy as much as souveniors you want there , cuz aint cheap kt tempat lain , pandai bargain .
2.BAYSWATER : murah jugak , boleh je nak beli kt sini .
3.BUCKINGHAM PALACE : THE CHANGING GUARD CEREMONY WILL BE HELD ON 11 AM EVERYDAY .
4.BIG BEN
5.TOWER OF HILL
6.TOWER BRIDGE
7.LONDON BRIDGE EXPERIENCE 
8.CHELSEA , ARSENAL STADIUM
9.OXFORD ST.
10.RIVER THAMES CRUISE
11.WESTMINSTER ABBEY .

AND SO ON !

HOPE THIS HELP !

ASSALAMMUALAIKUM .
