I hope you can help me research something. Your page says the name of the city of London dates back to 115 AD. Is that when the city was founded?

KryssTal Reply: No - that's the first mention of the modern name. London was settled hundreds of years before that date.

Kryss,

I'll be visting London the first week of April and want to take in a fotball game or two during my stay. Will I be able to purchase tickets at the gate? If not where can I get them in advance of the game? Also do you know of a an internet site that has schedules posted?

KryssTal Reply: It depends on the game. If it is a top class Premier League match or a local derby then you have to book in advance. For a less important game, it is possible to get tickets on the day. There are also ticket touts outside the big matches. Try looking at

for information (including tickets) about the premier clubs.

Have a good time in London - in April I shall be in Brazil! Best wishes.

Thanks for the info. Have fun in Brazil.

We're having a bit of an argument here at work about where the true London starts and stops, in particular Battersea, whether it is true London or just another town added on. Could you forward me some info on this.

Cheers

KryssTal Reply: I think of London as the Greater London area (619 sq miles / 1500 sq km) so Battersea is well within that region...

Good morning,

I have been looking on the net for some news on transportation from Stanstead airport to London town. I know there's a fast train service and a slower bus, don't know much more! Can anyone supply me with a price list and a time table (including night rides)?

thank you very much, kind regards

KryssTal Reply: The train is regular and comes into Liverpool Street (for Central Line) passing Tottenham Hale (for the Victoria Line). It is not expensive.

Hello from Houston, Texas, USA:

Enjoyed your website very much. The two of you have wide-ranging interests, and it was a pleasure to share a few of them with you. Talaat, I hope to try out a few of those terrific recipes you posted. Kris, thanks for the information about languages -- as a writer and editor, I was fascinated. But the information about London was what interested me the most.

The two of you have inspired me -- and I'm sure many others -- to travel with a more finely-honed sense of curiosity and adventure.

KryssTal Reply: Thank you very much - you'll be assured of a good welcome in London - and don't forget to try the food - especially a curry!!

Thanks, I shall. And I hope some day you two will have the opportunity to enjoy what Texas has to offer.

Thanks very much for some useful information. I'm a Texan headed for London for business, and having never been there, am totally clueless as to local mannerisms, customs, and how not to get my ass kicked from offending someone unnecessarily. This is important to me.

Thanks again.

KryssTal Reply: Thank you - I hope you have a good time. Generally Londoners are pretty tolerant of people who are different. Just use general common sense as in any big city.
