Q. I'm going to a gig there soon, and I know to get off at oxford rd station. Can anyone suggest a taxi firm and prices?
A. come out of the station and walk down the stairs and not the slope. opposite you will see the palace hotel and there is a very big bus stop right outside. hop on the 143 or 142 (Blue Magic Buses) - the fare on here is only one pound. Get ready to get off once you have passed the aquatics centre - the first stop after the aquatics centre is the manchester museum, the next stop is the venue.
you could get a taxi but you would be hard pressed to actually get a cab to wait for you as there is no stopping on that section of oxford road, if they pull in and wait for you you will pay a premium and if you call when you are in town and its a thu/fri/sat/sun night you may have a bit of a wait. getting a black cab is another option, but the fastest way to get there is the bus - oxford road is the busiest bus route in europe and mostly the bus lanes move 3 times faster than the other traffic.

What are some good places to visit in England that are historic-y and medieval and awesome?
Q.
A. England has lots of history. Where will you be staying, its still quite a big country.
London is an obvious example, it has many historical building, The Tower of London for example.
Bath has its Roman Baths, and there is Stonehenge just down the road.
Cornwall has some ruins and lots of history relating to King Arthur and his Knights.
Leeds Castle in Kent dates back to 1190
Hampton Court Palace is always on the tourists list.
It really depends on where in England your hotel is, as Im from the south, lots of places Ive been are in the south. Pointless if you staying in Manchester or further north, as you'll spend all your time on a train.

How to travel around in London?
Q. I plan to travel alone.
Travel for 7-9 days probably.
What are the public transports available? Are they convenient? Is it advisable to buy a travel card etc? I need more details for this.
Besides, what are some good local food?
Where to shop? Any factory outlets around?
What are the must-go places? except Big Ben?
If I have time, how can I travel to Liverpool, Manchester etc?
How much would I need for a week?
Do you know any hotels offer clean rooms with low prices?
Thanks :)

A. There are so many ways to travel around London. The Tube is great, as are the buses and walking isn't too bad, unless you have to go really far. There are also lots of taxi cabs around - just be careful though, as they can fleece you out of a lot of money. A travel card? I'd say maybe not if you are only going for about a week. There are lots and lots of shops in London. There is Covent Garden, where there are lots of markets and "different" shops where you can pick up a bargain!
There are many attractions in London - The London Eye, Madame Tussauds, The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace (the changing of the guard is good to go and watch) and there are also lots of west end shows to see in the West End of London. To get to Liverpool and Manchester, you can go on the bus or the train, which ever is more convenient. I'm not to sure how much you would need for a week, but if you have a bank card, there are lots of ATM's around London as well as a lot of banks.
There are so many places for food in London, it is untrue - pick a style, and eat!
If you want somewhere cheap to stay, try a hostel - there are a lot of them XD
