For those who are not afraid by the expenses, there is shopping on Regent Street which becomes mad befoer christmas, for the others, there are good musicals, everything needed for sport lookers and even active.

Travel: a few hints...

Travelling from London is quite easy and relatively cheap. The looked for destinations this winter are of course under the sun because of the really bad weather we got here. The Reunion, the Maurice Island, for french speakers, South Africa for those who are not afraid by the 14 hour flight and want to take advantage of the low Rand. (VirginAirlines will help you support a long journey)

Don't forget that the Rio Carnaval is in February, and that you should reserve right now.

Skiiing is now very close. Snow falled on some ski stations. Everything is packed in the freench alps: the crisis. If you have not reserved yet, don't worry: you have British Columbia in Canada, it's a bargain thanks to the fall of the Canadian Dollar.
