London is a city with a whole lot of self-confidence. While some destinations have had to tighten their belts during the recession, this trendsetting metropolis continues to captivate a never-ending stream of visitors with new hotels, restaurants, boutiques, and galleries. The downside? It can be outrageously expensive. Catch the Heathrow Express from the airport into the city, and a round trip for the short 15-minute journey will set you back $50. And many of the city's most talked-about attractions, from the London Eye to Madame Tussauds, cost a small fortune to get in (if you can face the tediously long lines first).
To help you navigate the pitfalls less savvy tourists encounter, here is our potted guide to where to go and what to avoid.
