	A London icon, left behind by the years. Review of Carnaby Street, London by TitleyTravels Advantages: Quiet, very specialist shops. Disadvantages: Very expensive and deserted. Carnaby Street was one of the iconic places I really wanted to see in London. It was the heart of Swinging London, the fashion powerhouse. Surely it would still be the place to get the Mod look? No, not on my budget. And it was never going to be, but the ...

	Covent Garden, London Review of Covent Garden, London by helen666 Advantages: Lots of places to shop, indoors or outdoors! (and nice Waffles!) Disadvantages: The usual disadvantages of London (pickpockets, traffic, crowded, etc.) I've been to Covent Garden a couple of times, once a few years ago and once a few days ago, and I am still yet to have explored all of it!

Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average very helpful Ciao members have made 20 comments about this review View comments I'm going to London with my friends 2 weeks today and ever since reading your 'London Calling' article at cq.net I decided that we must go to Carnaby Street. I mainly want to go for 'B' and 'David & Goliath', plus I know that movie memorabilia store you just mentioned will totally appeal to one friend in particular. Plus we'll be in Regent Street in Hamleys of course.. we're just a bunch of big kids really. Do you have any idea how we could get to Carnaby Street through the underground? Great op!!

Read review Ciao members have rated this review on average very helpful Ciao members have made 9 comments about this review View comments Although i thought you covered a lot of things about Covent Garden I also thought you didn't mention some important things, hence why i rated it 'helpful'. Also (and this didn't affect my rating) I completely disagree with you about the Ryal Opera House/Lottery funding. The Lottery money is supposed to benefit charities, community projects and the Arts, all of which are equally good causes in my opinion. by anna_mcnally Sorry for not rating this earlier, I'm supposed to get a Ciao alert when you write an op. Guess I shouldn't rely on Ciao! Lol. I've never been to a performance at the Opera House as Opera isn't my cup of tea and its a total rip-off but when my brother had his French exchange we took a tour of it. They gave us each a free ticket thing and just let us look around. It was defintly worth it as its free. It really is beautiful inside, it looks really grand. As it is now said to be one of the best in the world I personally would say that it was worth all the money.
