Big backpack, holding map and looking
up trying to find a street name or a statue, church, river or a
camping spot – this is the stereotypic opinion how the average
tourist should look like and in a lot of the cases it is the correct
one. Asking for a street while being on its corner, looking for a
museum that is located 10 metres away, however some of them are
trying to mask and look like locals.
In London it is easy and hard at the
same time. Easy – because of the diversity of nations living in the
city, you can find some of each nationality here and it’s quite
difficult to stand out of the crowd. Difficult – because no matter
how you look like, you also need to act like local, which means being
in a rush, showing everyone that you are being late for some
important meeting and how can you enjoy your walk while rushing
somewhere? Well, the opinion that Londoners are always rushing is
also a stereotypic one, however it is true, that tourists are walking
slower than the locals, since they need to see as much as possible in
a short period of time and in many cases they see something, which
the locals haven’t seen during all their life in London. When you
live in the city, you don’t usually care of going to some museums,
since you know that you will always have time for that and this
always never comes. Having
short term rentals London instead of
permanent address makes you see much more of it.
When you are going to visit another
city, what makes you choose the way of accommodation? After
considering price and location, probably, one of the reasons to rent
holiday apartment London is to feel like a Londoner for a while.
However, when it comes to the walking speed it is up to you whether
you want to look like local or see the most of it.
