Putting the Spotlight on London
This month in the Lantern
The London Lantern Discussion Forum
A lot of people have asked me whether we could provide a Forum on the London Lantern website where they could make general postings, complaints or comments about London. Very simply, we will have a discussion area each month where you will be able to post your comments to the site, and then other visitors will be able to respond accordingly. Just...
How to Use The London Lantern Website
I was delighted with the huge number of London Lantern subscribers that viewed our all new London Lantern website, and commented favourably - either in the Online Poll or directly by e-mail to me - but unfortunately they did not actually post their comments to the site.
The London Lantern Web-Site Launched
As I forecast in the last issue of the Lantern, we have finally reached the stage when we felt that it was worthwhile to launch the London Lantern as a web-site of its own.

New Features On Virtual London
Over the past few weeks we have been spending some time enhancing and adding some new features to Virtual-London. We now have a selection of postcards (e-cards) which you can send from the site. There are views of Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square and a very odd character standing in Covent Garden Piazza.
New Look Virtual London
We have been adding to the shopping area of Virtual London, firstly with VIP Direct, www.vip-direct.com, a superb selection of branded goods, from such famous names as Canon, Samsonite, Philips, Wedgwood, and many more, at up to 59% under the normal British shop price - but for UK sales only.
A New Look Virtual London
At long last our new version of Virtual London, has hit the screens world-wide. Apart from a completely new look - do let us know what you think of it - there is a huge increase in the content on the site. Masses more Attractions and Information, plus our Chat, Message Boards, Forum and much more.

Our New Restaurant Guide
To complement our two existing guides, The Traditional English Restaurants of London and The Fairly Priced Restaurants of London, we have just introduced our all-new, ultimate guide, listing nearly 5,500 restaurants throughout Britain.
How Not To Treat Virtual London - Continued
I, apparently like many of your other readers who commented, received a very rude and obnoxious E-mail from Ms. Kerstin Schnabel-Macloud. I provided her the courtesy of a copy of my E-mail to you offering my apologies for her behaviour and was soundly berated and insulted for offering comment in matter that she considered to be none of my business.
How Not To Treat Virtual London - Continued
My little exchange with Kerstin Schnabel-Macloud produced a veritable flood of responses from London Lantern readers. All of them expressing sympathy for me about her quite extraordinary behaviour, and requesting to receive a copy of her diatribe against the British tourist in Florida.
How Not To Treat Virtual London
I received the following e-mail recently. “Hello, how are you? May I ask you a question? While searching for travel magazines/newspapers in England, I found your web-site. But, I haven't found anything I was looking for.
