This is such a fun place! Here, you can get great Chinese food and designer knock-offs.  This is a neighborhood where you can bargain on the price and if you don’t like a store’s price you can walk to the next shop, (most of the stores have about the same things).

London Black Cabs

Location

London Black Cabs London
United States

I love these adorable black cabs.  They are the nicest way to travel around London.  You will usually find a really nice cab driver and they are especially nice to tourists.  The cars are very compact and seats fold down from where the wall separates the diver and the passenger.  This allows for a lot of people to fit in only one taxi!

Washington National Cathedral

Location

Washington National Cathedral

Even if you aren’t Episcopalian, this Cathedral is a site to consider visiting.  It is important architecturally and has played an important role in US history.  The Cathedral has served as the site of state funerals for some American Presidents and where some American Presidents have prayed the day after being inaugurated.  Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. gave the final Sunday sermon of his life in the Cathedral.  It is also noted for its incredible choir.  Look out for some famous people interred there as well like Woodrow Wilson.
