Experience in the area

I first moved to London (from Hove in Sussex) when I was 9 years old, and have lived in South and East London since. As a non-local, I did all the "tourist" things in the first year of being in London. Consequently, I appreciate London as both a tourist and an adopted local! I take a great interest in London, especially now I am living in the East London area, near to Stratford, where the 2012 Olympics will have their main stadium. I have been to many Tourist locations in the last year or so (e.g. Tower Bridge, HMS Belfast, London Eye, Greenwich in 2008, and previously during 2007 to Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Tate Modern, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral, Science Museum, Natural History Museum, Imperial War Museum and London Zoo, amongst others.
