London Vacation Guide

While London was once the capital of the largest Empire of the world, today London is one of the world's leading Cultural, Business and Financial centers. The city has retained its Cosmopolitan nature. Whatever language you speak, you are bound to hear it everywhere in the city. The mix of cultures in London is amazing. The best part is that most people are polite and friendly.

The city is also home to some of the top universities in the world, such as the London School of Economics, Imperial College and King's College.

The Underground system makes it very easy to get around, with train lines cris-crossing the city. Don't forget a ride on the Docklands Light Railway, a driverless train!

There are many attractions in London and one will always find something to see, from the Piccadilly Circus to Buckingham Palace, from the St.Paul's Cathedral to the Tower Bridge and from Trafalgar Square to Covent Garden.

London is full of history which dates back 2,000 years. Some great museums to visit are the British Museum, the National Gallery, the Tate Modern, the National Maritime Museum, and the Natural History Museum. You will be pleasantly surprised to find that the entrance to most museums is free, but donations are gladly accepted.

While in London, don't forget to visit Greenwich, the official center of the world, separating the Western and Eastern hemisphere and a UNESCO World Heritage Site!

Despite its charm, beware that London can be a very expensive city!
