London is
the coolest city in Europe...
Everybody
says so these days. The monarchy may be dissolving, the economy shaky,
but restaurants are booming and a new corps of young chefs
is dazzling the patrons. London in the 90s is vibrant, volatile, ethno-eclectic.
And everything from Westminster Abbey to Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre
is getting a facelift.

 Of
course, most first-timers to London feel compelled to "do
the Royals"
-- Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Houses of Parliament - but do
prepare yourself for these old standards with a big dose of British
humor.
Shoppers will love to browse through chic Chelsea and cosmopolitan Soho
(And why not stop for oysters
at the bar on Harrod's first floor?) No one should leave London without
first trying pie
and mash,
but get thee first to the West
End
for the best in British performance. For those with tastes a bit bizarre,
you can experience a WWII
air blitz,
earphones included. And if you get homesick, just stop by Cyberia
Café
and send us an e-mail.
