One of the world's most popular Cities, London is a fantastic location for any length of visit - great sights, great food and great hotels.

With so many attractions to see and do, you really will have difficulty fitting even only the major attractions in one visit. The first port of call for most visitors is Buckingham Palace, the residence of the Queen and the Royal Family. Their official home, it is open to the public throughout the year and hosts various events, most notably the Garden Parties, in which a variety of people are invited to attend to indulge in lavish food and drink, listen to live music and generally have a great, relaxing day. Second on visitors list is often the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. Whilst not open to the public, a photograph opportunity is a must here - the staggering architecture of the iconic Houses of Parliament with the world famous Big Ben clock make for a great back drop to any photograph. For something a little more current, the London Eye is a great visit. Standing at over 135m tall, the London Eye is effectively a gigantic Ferris wheel, built at the turn of the millennium and remains as one of the Britain's most popular tourist attractions. These are just three of London's many attractions. Visits to Madame Tussauds, the main shopping areas and theatre districts are highly recommended. It's impossible to see them all, so jump on an open top bus tour and view as many as you can in one go.

Whatever your taste, London caters for all culinary delights. From French to Cantonese, Thai to Mexican (and not forgetting English!), you can guarantee you will find the food you love in London, whatever your budget. For a taste of Brazil, 'Guanabara' in Bloomsbury is definitely worth a look, whilst 'La Roche' in Covent Garden is highly recommended for its Moroccan cuisine. If you're travelling with a young family, you cannot go wrong by trying a Garfunkel's. Situated all over London, they offer high quality food, at affordable prices with something for everyone. Of course, if you're travelling with a loved one and your budget is a little wider, a visit to Gordon Ramsey's 'Le Cercle' is highly recommended. Of course, you'll be expected to pay over ?100 per head quite easily, but if you can afford it, it's well worth booking a table.

With something for all budgets, you can guarantee you will find accommodation to suit both your needs and your budget. For recognised comfort and price, the various Travelodge's situated around London should definitely be looked at. Various types of rooms for all budgets, the hotels are often located near the major tourist attractions, or at the very least, near to a transport link. For more luxurious London Hotels, book in to The Bentley. With some rooms costing ?1,500 per night, you'll need an expanding budget, but with luxury at your finger tips, it's well worth the money.

Everyone who visits London has their own ideas of what they want to do. There are hundreds of attractions in the City, and many sights worth visiting just outside. You'll find it impossible to see everything in one trip, but give it a go - it's the only way to see London!
