Cute Fuzzy Bunny said:Renting a car is definitely more flexible, but the comment about driving on "the correct side" of the road and narrow roadways lined with cars is well taken.
I've never had a significant accident in the US, but both times I rented cars in the UK I smack off the left hand side mirror on a parked car.
The whole experience of having to set aside almost everything you know regarding where to look during a turn or entering a "roundabout" and which lanes to turn into and out of makes it almost feel like you're learning to drive all over again.
Oh yes, and one other thing. I almost got killed twice looking the wrong way and then stepping out into the road in london. Cars are coming at you from your RIGHT side, not your left.
Unless you hate fish, take one of your meals from any hole in the wall fish and chips place. Do they still serve them rolled up in a big cone of newspaper or did they finally make good on stopping that process due to concerns about using non-food-grade paper as a wrapper? All seemed sort of silly to me. Nothing like strolling around with a huge 'bouquet' of fish and chips.
If you like indian food, the best bet food wise if you don't know the area
is to head to the local indian restaurant
wherever you may be. They are typically very good
car wise, i only had trouble when there were not other cars on the road, my brain fell
back to american mode on occaision w/o the visual cues from the other other moving cars.
i think now a lot of chips places use "food grade" newspaper
