The big city

As you will probably know, London is one of the most famous cities in the world. Recognisable through so many of its landmarks, this classy, intoxicating destination is the second-most visited on the planet.

Centuries-old tradition and modern innovation merge here, producing a timeless place which is constantly evolving. London’s selection of culture and the arts, green spaces and skyscrapers will leave you ready to come back for more every time you visit.

Whatever the weather

London is a really pleasant city to visit during summertime – the weather is usually good but not unbearably hot, so it’s a great time to explore. However, the UK capital is also a beautifully picturesque winter destination. Whether there’s snow or just a frosty cloak over the city, the iconic buildings and parks are wonderful to see during the coldest time of year.

Exploring London

A village feel

Most of the time, London doesn’t feel like the largest city in the country. There are so many neighbourhoods with a small-town ambience, you can easily forget that you’re around the corner from tourist giants such as Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.

From Little Venice to Stoke Newington to Dulwich, it’s really worth taking the time to wander the back streets. Even passages right beside the main tourist drags are often unpredictably quiet and pretty – you’ll be amazed at how quickly the atmosphere changes if you take the scenic route right behind Oxford Street.

For a frame-worthy selfie, remember to take to Westminster and meet Big Ben. Time it right, and hear it chime on the hour. Try visiting this area at sunset, and stroll along Westminster Bridge to approach the world renowned landmark. Admire the magnificent clock from a distance, soaring gracefully above the chaos of the city.
