As a Londoner my self I would disagree with Mr Paul. If you want to see hills and Sheep then go up north and yes there are few places of interest also.

However in London there is plenty to do.

Regards the Travelling to and from Central London I would recommend you visit the www.tfl.gov.uk website it will give you all the information that you require.

Staying wise I would suggest that as you are not familiar with London it would be a good idea to stay near Gatwick, one it is cheaper and you will get a decent room compared to staying in Central London. If your not a Qatari with lots of money then stay away from Central London.
