City Guides & Information

Everyone makes plans and feels more relaxed when holiday approaches. We just want to go far from home and simply rest. We want to escape and discover what lies beyond everyday life. Going on holiday alone proves to be often a challenge.

There are plus and down sides to this kind of trip. Among the advantages we can mention: the choice to change your plans whenever you want, you can go wherever you want to without having to take into consideration others people plans and/or preferences; the intensity with which you live entirely the full trip, not being necessary to negotiate, to explain, to ask for something. Also, another advantage is that you get to know new people and learn things that you would not have heard if you had company.

However, there some disadvantages: the fatigue to be permanently attentive to everything around you, to care for the luggage, money, passport etc. There is nobody to look after your backpack not even when you go to the bathroom. There is nobody to see when your pocket is being cut in crowded places, there´s nobody to draw your attention when a bargain leads to a trap which you fail to see. There is nobody else to buy tickets, to order a beer, to inquire how to get in the next town, to talk to the receptionist, and all these little things, sometimes can tire you.

If you choose England for a vacation, and more specific London, you will have a lot of places to see. First of all choose a place to spend the night. Select the hotel depending on what you plan to do with your holiday, if you want to visit the city choose a hotel rather close to the public transport, to pubs, crowded places, so even if you are alone, you will always feel surrounded.

If you want to relax, choose a hotel in the close proximity to the city, for example in Watford. Such a hotel can have its advantages: London is pretty close, could be just 15-20 minutes by train; there is only a short walk from the café district with its clubs and bars; it is a quite perfect base to visit the Roman Verulamium, Garden of the Rose in St. Albans, the shopping centre in Brent Cross and Wembley Arena; moreover, Harlequin Shopping Centre with over 140 shops is a short walk away.
