London Calling

In the spirit of spontaneity I have decided to now format my blog in the form of an extended "vacation" across Europe. At least one or more posts will be dedicated to each city as I "stop" there explore.

Most trips to Europe begin in London, one of the most popular first stops for travelers from the US. More on traveling to London, the state of its economy, current political state, and current cultural events tomorrow.

For now an article: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard-business/article-23886844-punch-taverns-to-shut-1300-pubs-as-profits-collapse.do

Apparently "more than 1300 pubs out of its total estate of 6700 which have no “long-term viability”. They are likely to be sold or closed over the next couple of years." says Ian Dyson of the group Marks and Spencer.

What better time to go to London, you have to go before the local pubs, an essential stop during your visit to London, become few and far between.
