London's inherent uniqueness and mix of cultures have made it one of the most visited cities in the world. Its diverse bundle of boroughs are often like mini cities in their own right, with each one offering something different to the last.
London's iconic skyline is an eclectic combination of instantly recognisable landmarks, from the historic Tower of London to the ultra-modern skyscrapers of The Shard and 20 Fenchurch (better known as 'The Walkie-Talkie'). A walk through the ‘Square Mile’ immerses you in the original Roman settlement, with parts of the ancient defensive wall still visible. You'll also find some of the London's cosiest (and oldest) pubs around there, such as Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, a former haunt of Charles Dickens and Mark Twain.
For lovers of the arts, look no further than the world-class theatres of London's West End and the live music venues of Camden, Soho and Shoreditch. You'll also find endless galleries and museums dotted around, such as the free-to-visit British Museum, Natural History Museum and the National Gallery.
Amongst all the impressive architecture and endless points of interest, it's easy to forget how green London is. 47% of the city is made up of public green space, including 3,000 parks. The most popular spots include Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Green Park, but it's worth venturing out to places like Richmond where you can walk amongst roaming wild deer.
London is served by several major airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Stansted, Luton and Southend. Travel is made easy by the extensive public transport links, as well as private coach services.

We liked going to see the Hamilton play more than anything...
18 March 2024
We liked going to see the Hamilton play more than anything but also loved the National Gallery, the variety of food, especially Indian and Gluten Free options. And we really loved going to Spitalfields! Didn't care for the light rain, but it wasn't too much of a bother.
it is worth preparing a plan for all types of weather.
18 March 2024
it is worth preparing a plan for all types of weather. This city offers so much that without a proper plan you can lose a lot. It is worth taking advantage of the facilities provided by public transport, especially taking the metro. It works like nowhere else. An incredible number of tourist attractions: museums, parks, galleries, monuments, castles, concerts, and many others. Everyone will find something good for themselves here. The city surprised me with its cleanliness, order and enormity, and the inhabitants are very nice and helpful to tourists.

"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford." Lots of sightseeing, galleries, museums, cool pubs, restaurants, caffés, clubs, concerts... whatever comes to your mind. Quite expensive city, and huge. Not for someone who does not like walking a lot or does not like thousands of people running through the streets. Make and easy plan when you go there, don´t overdo it cause either you will be wasted or angry. Rather make another visit if you want to see more of the "classic" places. If you want to see real UK or England, except of the culture and architecture I guess this is not the place anymore - I would look for smaller cities.

18 March 2024
I feel that one of the best features of London is the access to good transit both public and private. Getting to wherever you want is easy if you just use the information provided. On the downside, the weather in March was not always suitable for just strolling through the city. The grey skies are annoying!
DONT BOOK WITH THIS APARTMENT.
18 March 2024
DONT BOOK WITH THIS APARTMENT. PAID MY MONEY AND NEVER RECEIVED EMAIL TO COLLECT KEY. SENT MY ID , THEY WANTED another £500 FOR A DEPOSIT BUT THE AD DID NOT say that. It said any damage or breakages I would have to pay. They wanted bank transfer I feel I was being scammed and now they are saying they are holding onto my money as it not refundable. But how when I emailed them they said cancel it and they would send me a refund so when I did cancel it they sent another email saying they not giving me my money back. Luckily for me I have a paper trail confirming they would refund me and then saying they won’t refund me. So now I am taking this further they are not stealing my money, I have never been so upset, they ruined my birthday
Megabus to London worked well for us and London Underground...
17 March 2024
Megabus to London worked well for us and London Underground was a quick and cost effective method of travel. Giant Herons in St James park are a sight not to be missed Westfield shopping centre was very good. Also enjoyed Camden Town with its many stalls and shops.
