Think about London, and the wide variety of events hosted there, and in a flash, a thunderbolt hits you. The 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. You realize what a treat it would be, if you could have the pleasure of witnessing such a big event, where records are bound to be broken and milestones achieved no doubt, especially if you could do it in a place like London.

The Olympic park, the Olympic stadium, the aquatics centre, BMX centre …. The list of places and events just doesn’t seem to end. You seem to be filled with an inexplicable sense of anticipation and your hunger for talent seems to have found a possible solution at last. You want to know your heart swell with prides as you watch your fellowmen do great things in front of the world, and be a part of that achievement, and more importantly, take home great memories. You get to watch the best of events at the best of stadiums and places, and you ask yourself “What more would I want ? “

But apart from all this, what is not very visible to an outsider is how much the city grows in terms of fun events and fests that happen there all the time, and how people here enjoy these events and attend them in large numbers. There is always a hype about these events before they start, and they live upto the expectations.

On May-day, there are many such events that cater to different types of people, from different cultures, age groups, societies, and so on. The bank holiday weekend can either be spent with family, attending events that you can enjoy with your near and dear ones, or taking your kids to watch a child play, or , even if you want to spend it clubbing with your friends, London offers you with the appropriate scenarios and events. All in all, a wonderful holiday in store.

A lot of people who live here would love to commute, and this need has caused an increase in the transportation facilities that simplify life for such people. Higher the demand, so the supply. Newcastle, especially, has been one place where a large number of people travel from London, and train services for these people are not in the scarce.
Such services also have good offers, like cheap ticket costs if the tickets are booked in advance, which depends on how much early you book. Sometimes, booking onward and return tickets separately may turn out to be cheaper than buying one round trip ticket. There are similar schemes introduced to make the traveller’s life simple and offer him tickets at minimized rates.

There are trains travelling between Newcastle and London every half an hour, and hence the traveller’s do not have to wait for long. The ticket fares are also pretty considerate, and start at around £37.

All that aside, London also has a history of high levels of interest and performance in the cultural and arts arena, with a large number of events being staged all through the year. These cater to people of different backgrounds and for different occasions, and are an import part of the life in the city.

This city may be a commercialized one, but it has a very wide variety of places to look at and marvel for the nature lover or the sight seer. If one were to start counting, the task would seem a shade harder than herculean. The London zoo, which houses some of the seasonal and regional animals that are outside the daily existence, is sure to enthrall any animal lover. And if you’re this nature lover who can stand and marvel at natural beauty all day, then you wouldn’t want to miss the Kew gardens. As for the adventurous explorer, the likes of the London Dungeon with a tinge of horror ought to make the trip worthy.

Apart from these, London has also been described as the world’s cultural capital and not without reason. The number and types of events that take place today in London would make any patron of the arts and media agree. Almost every fortnight, we find some famous event or the other coming up which seems to literally be the talk of the town, and such events eventually turn out to be the cynosure of all eyes that roam the city.

One such event very looked forward to, is the Easter holiday treat every year. This year, its going to be the three little pigs that leave home, setting off to the other side of the river to make their homes and lives, and about how a wolf tries to stop them. It’s a perfect blend of traditional “The Three little pigs” and “The three Billy goats gruff”, and with some light music and a hilarious puppet show, seems to be the best way to spend April Fool’s day.
