Make your Sunday by visiting the open air market along Bayswater Road. I make regular visit to London and have almost visited most of its museums, galleries and other interesting tourist places. Now I have made my visits to London more interesting by visiting the market places in London. There are many fashionable marketing districts in London. Once when I was there in London, I made visit to the Open Air Market along the Bayswater Road. It was Sunday and at least half a mile of Bayswater Road had become an exhibition place. Over 300 artists showcased their painting and photographs of London city. The price of the painting pieces ranged from £1 to £1,000. I made some purchases too from here.

I had just come to stroll in the Kensington Gardens which was just a few distance away my hotel- Derby Hotel and I was amazed to find such a stunning collection of paintings in the open air market of Bayswater Road

No wonder, London has everything for everyone on weekends. Sometimes I make visit to Central London Golf Centre. I am beginner in this game but this London golf centre still gives me a chance to make some shots in air. Most of them do not reach their station. It is real fun playing golf. It is not necessary to have a membership to be here in this golf centre.

Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant Look Great in Nottting Hill

Notting Hill has been my one of the favorite Hollywood flicks. Starring Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, it’s really a great romantic comedy to watch. Julia Roberts is a very famous Hollywood actress who suddenly bumps into the Hugh Grant’s book shop while shopping in Nottinghill. An accident spilling of juice in all over her dress lands her up in the apartment of Hugh Grant in Nottinghill. And with the passing of time they get to know each other. Surpassing all the problems, Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts however, manage to bring a beautiful end to the story. I believe London has been beautifully portrayed in this movie like when Hugh Grant wanders through the Portobello Market. The scene which plays the famous song of Ronan Keating was also a brilliantly shot. People will certainly fall in love with this movie.

I am a B.Arch student usually engrossed in designing houses, flats, apartments. I stay in Bloomsbury and often get in touch with the local estate agents. Apart from drawing lines for houses and apartments, I also prefer writing for several websites related to traveling, hotel accommodations and apartment accommodation in various parts of London, especially Bloomsbury. While browsing my articles on various websites, I came across a new website which submits articles on different aspects of London city in particular. Even the submission of press release can also be done. It is an informative London tourist website and has covered everything in a very clean manner. There was an article on corporate apartments in London which was very impressive describing every detail of it. I was also impressed to see list of accommodation in Bloomsbury.

The UK airport owner, BAA, has put one of its airports, Gatwick Airport in London, on sale last week. There are few investors who have lined up their interest. The Australian company MacQuaire, Fraport (Germany) and the owners of Manchester’s airport are planning to bid for the second largest airport of the UK. The estimated price of Gatwick Airport in London is reported to be $3.5 billion. The Competition Commission of Britain has recommended BAA to sell off its three airports. It is expected that BAA will be parting with Stansted. The fate of other airports in Britain- Heathrow, Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Southampton are under speculation.

Barbican Centre Children’s Film Festival 2008

On my son’s birthday, I have been trying to do new things every year. But my kid is very fond of movies and this year too he is checking on new films. London Barbican Centre which organizes Children’s Film Festival annually will be an appropriate treat for him. I don’t know what all movies will be featuring this festival but planning to book the tickets online. It would be a great time watching the movie and then have our stomach full with snacks. It would also be a great place to be on weekends as the Children Film festival continues from Saturday 22 to Sun 30 Nov. 2008.

I hope he likes it again. As I am trying to do the best I can do for him.

The Sherlock Holmes Museum, Baker Street

When I last visited 221b Baker Street, I imagined myself as having entered in between the time period 1881-1904. If you read the stories of Arthur Conan Doyle on Sherlock Holmes, you will locate the lodging house which is till maintained in Victorian style. I visited the Sherlock Holmes Museum, the official home of Sherlock Holmes on my visit to London. As the tradition of the museum, I too sat on the famous armchair of Mr. Holmes. There are many more things in display at the museum to see.
