A Guide to London

Whatever your reason for visiting London, it is a city that has something to offer everyone. London has successfully fused its grand heritage with modern living, and attracts a wide range of visitors every year. Whether, it's sightseeing in Trafalgar Square, shopping on Oxford Street, or entertainment in the West End, you will be spoilt for choice. The capital also has a huge choice of restaurants, bars and London hotels will suit any budget.


While the areas to the north of the Thames are renowned for housing many of London's traditional attractions, e.g. Buckingham Palace, to the south of the river there is still much to see with many of the newer and more contemporary attractions, e.g. The Tate Modern. If you are on a budget, there are also many free attractions throughout the city. London is Europe's largest city and it is easy to get overwhelmed and not make the most of your visit, so it's worth planning your trip and familiarising yourself with its districts before you travel.
