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!
