London is one of the best cities in the world. Every year millions of people are found flocking along the streets and hotspot tourist attractions. This city is all about having fun, catch glimpses of fabulous architectures, luxury shopping, best of food and what not. It is an iconic city that provides panoramic views. The capital city of England is one of the most visited cities in the world. As it is rightly said, with too many positives come few negatives also. There is an even an ugly side of the city which frequent travelers to London might now.

This is a city where people come with great expectations and these expectations are often fulfilled. However, sometimes you may have bad experiences as well which at times are unavoidable and are sometimes even important to give you a fair idea for the next time. With this article we are making you aware of what all things you can’t do in London. It gives you an idea as one should never expect these things to happen in the city while they are on a holiday or business trip to London.
 
As soon as you arrive in this city, making luxury hotels near Kensington garden as your holiday base is a wise thing to do. A holiday is even about staying comfortably.

In London lot of names of the places don’t serve any purpose now but these names have historical links to it. You will not find any shepherd at the Shepherd’s Bush, there will be no Baron at the Baron’s Court and no Earl at the Earl’s Court. These names refer to the previous owners of these areas. This think sometimes may disappoint any tourist coming with an intention to see all this. Similarly, at the Elephant’s Castle please don’t expect to see any castles or elephants; however the name is well associated with a coaching inn which is at the junction of Newington Butts and Newington Castle.  Other than these, what else you can’t do in the capital city?

Mentioned below are few points which you must remember when you next visit London:

Clicking Pictures Inside St Paul’s Cathedral:
St Paul’s is an Anglican cathedral which is also the seat of Bishop of London. It is one of the most popular sacred destinations within the city and features an eventful history. It is a great tourist attraction which is enjoyed by visitors today. Everything seems beautiful here at this cathedral expect for one negative that may let down many tourists. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the cathedral. Photography here is completely prohibited. If you will ask travelers take on this then you will find that many people are surprised at this fact that you can’t click pictures. Even though the cathedral is visited by plenty of travelers every year, but before it is a well known tourist attraction, it is a place of worship.

The idea behind the rejection of clicking pictures at the cathedral is that the constant flashes and posing were too distracting for those who visit cathedral for its real purpose that is for worship.

Catch a Tube in the Middle of the Night:
If you think that London underground system runs day and night then you are highly mistaken. This system though is the oldest in the world and the most finest of all, but it was never made a 24 hours service. The reason behind this is the maintenance and all cleaning work is supposed to be done in the night which is not possible otherwise because the way the tunnels are constructed etc. the tube stops at midnight and then it starts again at 5 am in the morning. This only leave few hours only for the maintenance and cleaning staff to work, however they first have to wait till the train reaches to an end and all the power is switched off before they start performing their task. 

Free Public Toilets in London:
Those who have the notion in mind that public toilets are free in the capital city they will get a shock of their lifetime when they will get to know that the price is actually 30p. It is even hard in the city to find a place where you can actually go for free.

Shopping on Oxford Street:
This street, tourists are quite fascinated to visit as it is known to be one of the best shopping streets in London. However, the irony is that there is nothing amazing out here and a visit here may get you a hit on all your expectations. On this street there are global chains which only sell sweatshop made yarns and still visitor’s flock around here with no rhyme or reason. All this has made Oxford Street as the most stressful place in the capital city. As far as street food is concerned, you may find it worth in London.

Apart from all these things which you can’t do in London, a stay at the Montcalm Hotel London is one thing that you must do. It not only offers a comfortable base, but even makes your trip more pleasurable and enjoyable. So, next time whenever you plan to come to this fascinating city get your reservations done here and you will surely feel relaxed in some way.
