Last year I traveled to the Cristopher Colombus country exhibition in London, and I learned a lot of new informations about his life. There were too much people in the museum, so it was difficult to see the paintings clear. The guide said that Colombus had many influencies in modern navigation, but I think there is less evidences than people believe. Anyway, I really enjoyed the visit because I took a lot of photos and met interesting persons.

A very common topic about British people is the facility with which they communicate with tourists. They usually have a thick accent, which makes communication more difficult. Plus, they are not very sympathetic; they are rather serious people.
However, London is great, and there are plenty of spectacles in Piccadilly Circus you can watch if you have the opportunity. On the other hand, their sanity is not the best; recent cuts in the budget are having a negative impact on the healthcare and the population.
To resume: they can molest you with their attitude but the city offers many interesting things to have lots of diversions.
