Tourism was always going to explode in London, with the pound so weak against the Euro at the moment and obviously, 2012 is also going to bring a lot of people in. Hotels, serviced apartments, hostels, bed and breakfasts, there won't be a single room free. I don't much look forward to the trains becoming even more crowded but that's unavoidable.
