You just can't win it in London. It's too big, too busy and too expensive. This is one place where you've got to get information and use it, but that's no problem here, because there's so much help. Of course, the best place to get guidebooks and maps is the Tourist Information Office. I've already been there. What we need now is a periodical entertainment guide and you get that at a newsstand. I wanna know what's going on this week.

Hello. (Hello) City Limits. It's1 pound? (Yep!) Good. Thanks a lot.

We are close to the Clarence Pub. Let's pop in for some pub grub and plan our strategy.

It's just up the street from Parliament. Pubs in Britain are like an extended living room, a basic part of the social scene. They are the next best thing to relatives.

Pub is short for public house. People come here to talk. We can get lots of advice on what's the best play, the most entertaining walking tour, how to get from here to there, as well as the latest on, who is angry with whom in the Royal Family.

Just for a couple of days, do you have a play that you'd recommend?

Here is where we get educated about British beers, bitters, ales and lagers. And teetotalers don't have to partake to be welcome, coffee, tea or soft drinks do just as well at breaking the ice.

Lots of pubs serve a terrific buffet1 meal, assorted2 meat pies, curry3 dishes, knish, vegetables and chips.

Well England doesn't exactly pop to mind when you say fine cuisine4, I enjoy the straightforward5 English food in the fine Old-World settings.

Pub grub can be surprisingly good and is often the best hot food deal in town. This one advertises its food and lots of people are eating here. To me, that's the cue that is a good pub for a meal.

(You've ever taken the walking tours to instruct your walks? 100 blocks, pub grub, Shakespeare, Jack6 the Ripper…
I went the dungeons7.)

Ok, we've filled ourselves with food and information, and according to our adviser8, there's a good walking tour leaving in just a couple of minutes. We've still got time to make it. Let's go.
