London City Breaks

A guide to London

England's capital is one of the world’s truly great cities, offering an extraordinary wealth of culture, history, famous sights and popular attractions, alongside an enjoyably vibrant, multi-cultural, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Few destinations worldwide can compete in terms of sightseeing: Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, the Tower of London, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Tower Bridge…the list goes on and on. London has something for everyone when it comes to entertainment and culture, offering specialist cinemas, world-famous theatre, spectacular long-running musicals, and a varied live music sceneLondon short breaks can only hope to dip into the city’s unbelievable nightlife: fantastic traditional pubs, probably the world’s most cosmopolitan selection of restaurants, and a vibrant, eclectic, ever-changing clubbing scene.

Vast array of attractions in the capital

London really does have too many attractions to name. Highlights include The Tate Modern, The National Gallery and the Natural History Museum, as well as the London Eye, Madame Tussauds, London Zoo and the London Dungeon. Serious shoppers will find the capital a veritable retail paradise, with famous shops such as Harrods and Hamleys, specialist retailers and characterful street markets.

Explore the many varied neighborhoods

Aside from all the tourist attractions and cultural activity, the city offers rewarding walks in fascinatingly distinct neighbourhoods like Soho, Bloomsbury, Camden, the City, Brick Lane and Greenwich, all home to a sheer spectacle of London’s unique, constantly surprising social mix. London’s famously changeable weather is hardly relevant with such a wealth of indoor attractions, and when the sun shines, head to London’s beautiful Royal parks or take a cruise on the Thames.
