INTRODUCTION ABOUT RESTAURANTS IN LONDON
In London there are a lot of good things but the worst is the food. For this reason you have to search the best place and the cheapest. The first piece of advice is “ Ethnic food”. In London there is international food because this city is a mixture of cultures and this food is cheaper than the other types. It is cheaper and typical “takeaway” food; it’s food that you order and you can eat it where you want. If you want to eat well, you have to avoid chains like McDonald. We can find a lot of places for eat.
There are a lot of Chinese, Italian, Indian, Japanese, Pakistani, Spanish, Turkish and fast food restaurants.
RESTAURANTS
•Fast food Restaurants. Like McDonald, KFC, Burger king, Pizza Hut, Subway… Approximately £5 but this food has a los of fat! You can take a sandwich too in “subway” and eat it where you like and is cheaper (£3.29)
•Turkish food or kebabs. With Chinese food are the more popular foods in London. Wen can order a kebab and take away. Approximately a soft drink and a kebab cost £3.50 (depending the zone )
•Chinese food. It is so popular. This food is delicious, cheap and exotic. You can find these types of restaurants in Chinatown and in Candem town.
•Pakistani Restaurants Similar to Chinese food (but only with Pakistani’s especialities)
• Japanese Restaurants. There are no many Japanese restaurants in London. The prices are a little bit more expensive. We can find one Japanese restaurant called “Me, sushi!”
•Italian Restaurants They are the best in London! The prices depend on the fact of choosing one dish or another. High quality and an excellent flavor! There are a lot of these restaurants in London.
•Spanish Restaurants. They are a little bit expensive. They modify the recipes for British people ( and the dishes are worse ) You never have to go to a “tapas” bar, because each “tapa” costs £3.
• VitaOrganic Restaurants. There is a restaurant in London which serves you only ecologic food. You pay for each spoon of food. You can drink some juices. It is on 74, Wardour Street, W1F0TE

The exciting experience of this museum begins after entering, on having seen the precious hall presided by the skeleton of an enormous Diplodocus besides a Mastodon found in Tagua Tagua's
It was constructed between 1873 and 1880 to shelter the increasing collection of skeletons, plants and fossils that were constituting a section of the
The classic style of the decoration takes us behind in the time and seems that we are going to cross with English gentlemen with bowler hat.
The museum divides principally in five areas: Botany, zoology, entomology (insects), mineralogy and paleontology. It (he, she) possesses a varied collection with more than 70 million specimens and objects in exhibition.
The most famous zone is the zone of paleontology, a very pleasant tour full of skeletons of dinosaur of the most diverse heights and types. The visit to this part ends in a room in which there is a great articulated tiranosaurio that creates realistic enough effects.
Of the rest of zones stands out the enormous collection of dissected animals that shape the zone of zoology and entomology. Considered one of the major collections of the world of animal specimens, stand out especially those t

- The own building of the museum makes the visit both externally and in the inside worthwhile.

BIG STORES
Harrods
The mall Harrods is a great store that is placed in Brompton Road, a street of Knightsbridge's neighborhood, in full center of the city of London. Besides the stores, the group Harrods possesses the Bank Harrods, the real estate agency Harrods and the air line Harrods.
Harrods London has a surface of about 20.000 square metres distributed into five floors. The closest underground is Knightsbridge.
The current owner of the store of London is the Egyptian magnate Mohamed Al. Recently, these stores have been rewarded with Imperial Mark - a former royal certificate with more than three hundred years of antiquity, after being taken off of the royal certificate of the duke of Edinburgh.
Harrods is in 87-135 of Brompton Road, its schedules are from Monday until Saturday of 10:00 to 20:00 and on Sundays of 12:00 to 18:00.
History
Harrods had origins in the East End of London at the beginning of the reign of queen Victoria. In 1835, Charles Henry Harrod established the shop in the sidewalk of opposite his house, in Stepney. Harrods, worried by the epidemic of cholera that was flogging London, knew a merchant who wanted to get away from the rent of a store of ultramarine in Knightsbridge, that´s why the shop was moved in 1849 to what at the time was the semi-rural Brompton Road.
Harrods grew and the shop acquired several contiguous buildings. It had a great transformation in 1861 when Harrod's son, Charles Digby Harrod, took charge of the business. On December 6, 1883, a fire destroyed the buildings of the stores, giving to the family the occasion to reconstruct them to a bigger scale.
In 1959 the House Fraser bought the stores. Harrods has been attacked by IRA in three occasions. It suffered many hurts but in spite of it re –opened before three days . Harrods was bought by the brothers Al in 1985 by 615 million pounds, since then the space of sales has been extended to include those who before were zones for the personnel and the storage, on the top basement and the floors.
TO EAT IN HARRODS
Certainly, why not ... in Harrods it is also possible to eat, and they are multitude of restaurants of Different types :
- American type, years 70
- Self-service, to eat rapidly,
- Japanese

– A Spanish restaurant of snacks (tapas-bar).
As a curiosity we have to say that in Harrods's restaurants we will be able to taste Harrods beer, exquisite but expensive, a very typical exquisiteness of London.
Buy in Harrods
These most famous big stores are in Knghtsbridge's zone, closely together of Hyde park or Buckingham's palace, for saying some references known.

Harrods is one more point of any tourist visit to London and it is obvious on having entered that one sees many people walking and being photographed but a few buying. And it is that Harrods has reputation of being expensive, a bit in the general line of London, though since in everything there are products to better prices and everything depends on the pocket of the visitor.

Types of food in london
Fish & chips
It was first marketed as a food dish in “take away”. It has become the most popular English dish. This dish is composed by muffled and fried hake.
Roast Beef
Another famous dish is “roast beef”.
If you are going to ask for it in a restaurant the question that the waiter will make will be: “do you want it rare, medium or well done?"
They are talking about the point of boiling of the meat. Rare is almost crude, medium with some blood and well done completely cooked.
It can be accompanied by delicious English mustard and steamed vegetables as siders.
Pastry of meat
There are also very popular "pies", which are pastry filed with meat. You can choose: Shepherds Pie, Chicken and mushroom pie or Steak and kidney pie.
English sausages
English people have a great variety of types of sausages.
This plate consists of a variety of sausages cooked in sauce and accompanied by mash of potatoes.
Sweets
To end, ask for “Apple” or any type of “crumble”, for example of cranberry. It is a delicious pastry of fruits covered with creaking crumbs.
… Are you looking for a cheap food, but you do not want to lose the quality ?
I recommend you…
- Wagamama.: there you will be able to enjoy a healthy variety of plates of noodles, soups and show restraint from rice to a good price.
-Ping Pong: it is a restaurant of " dim sum " very economical, but with class. The place is modern and with style, serves a classic " dim sum" menu, coctails of intense flavor and a selection of Chinese tea of flowers.
-The pizzeria The Porchetta serves enormous and delicious pizzas at prices so low that you will find it hard to believe. This makes this restaurant the perfect place to celebrate a great holiday.
High Tea is often a misnomer. Most people refer to afternoon tea as high tea because they think it sounds royal and lofty, when nowadays high tea, or "meat tea" is dinner. High tea, in Britain, at any rate, tends to be on the heavier side. American hotels and tea rooms, on the other hand, continue to misunderstand the term and offer tidbits of fancy pastries and cakes on delicate china when they offer a "high tea."
Afternoon tea (because it was usually taken in the late afternoon) is also called "low tea" because it was usually taken in a sitting room or withdrawing room where low tables (like a coffee table) were placed near sofas or chairs generally in a large withdrawing room. There are three basic types of Afternoon, or Low Tea:
Scones :Served with jam and Devonshire or clotted cream
Pastries : Cakes, cookies, shortbread and sweets.
