London, England is a microcosm of a small world, attracting many international students and tourists every year. There are many places that can't be missed in London, which are closely related to daily life. Let me introduce you to the basic necessities of life in London.

1. Diet:

If you prefer China food, you should go to China City, China Town, where there are many China food supermarkets and China restaurants. From Sichuan cuisine to Cantonese cuisine, there are all kinds of cuisines, and you can also buy all kinds of ingredients of China food. During the New Year in China, there will be dragon and lion dances here. Green Lanes There are many Greek and Turkish restaurants and other exotic restaurants, where you can taste real Mediterranean food. Brick Lane is famous for its curry, and there are many Bangladeshi restaurants, where you can taste the best and freshest bagels.

second, transportation:

one of the greatest works of British transportation is probably the London Connection. Railways from all over the country meet in London and connect with London's complex subway network in more than 4 places, forming a dense network of railway subway and underground connection. Passengers can change trains or subways at eight major stations and dozens of other connecting points. Some tracks will have both trains and subways running.

London's subway network is the densest and most complex in the world. * * * There are 273 stations, 12 lines and dozens of intersections. In the center of London, you will see a subway station in a few steps. If you take the London subway for the first time, you may be disoriented by its complicated structure. In fact, these subway stations all use very standardized instructions and signs. It is clearly marked with colors and graphics. As long as you follow these instructions, you won't get lost.

to arrange your subway trip, you must first have a map of the London subway. This kind of map can be found in almost all loose-leaf notebook guidebooks in Britain, and it can also be obtained free of charge at any subway station. First find the starting station and destination, and see if there is a line of the same color between the two points. If there is, there is no need to change trains. If not, let's see where the lines of different colors meet recently. Also remind that many lines will split into two lines at one place, so don't get on the wrong bus. For example, from Green park to Heathrow airport, do you have to see the front of the car? Heathrow? Just get on the bus, or you may be sent to Uxbridge, which is far from the airport.

3. Supermarkets:

The most famous and largest supermarkets in Britain are Tesco, Sainsbury, ASDA and Iceland, which specializes in frozen food. They have branches all over the country. Like Tesco, they also provide loans, insurance, cars, credit cards and other services and operate many gas stations. Business hours will be different in the area where you live.
