Reasons to Visit London
When you go to London, the best time is definitely during the
Summer, because there is no cold or snow to make you feel
chilly and miserable.
After you land at Heathrow Airport you will have access to hire
a taxicab and he will get you to the best hotels in London or
the surrounding areas.
You can also take a taxi and go to places that you wish to
visit as London is the most exciting city in the world.
It has many gardens & museums for you to see and lots of
locations for pure enjoyment. The very first thing you should
do is of course to visit Big Ben Tower and the Thames River
with the London Eye Trip beckoning you at Westminster
Bridge.
The Thames has a really beautiful landscape view and it is the
longest river in England. Here you can just relax or do some
shopping, buy souvenirs since London is also considered to be
the best city in the world for shopping as well.
Some of the best gardens in the world are here for example Hyde
Park, Green Park, Battersea Park, Greenwich Park, Hampstead
Park, Holland Park, and many more.
Then you have the wonderful museums in London such as the
Guards, Fashion & Textile, the Bank of England, British
Museum to name a few.
The concept of London is that it is made up of many separate
villages which is very well illustrated in North London by the
suburb of Hampstead.
Oxford Circus & Piccadilly Circus are amazing places to
visit and they draw in millions of people every year.
Piccadilly Circus is a rather untidy place with lots of traffic
and it's the central hub of the West End and a most popular
meeting place for UK Residents as well as International
Visitors.
One more place where you have to go is Whitehall and Buckingham
Palace to see the hundreds of years old history of the British
Government and Aristocracy.
The Houses of Parliament are directly accountable to Her
Majesty The Queen and she can dissolve Parliament at a moment's
notice if she wishes.
Many Diplomats and Celebrities live in St. Johns Wood which is
a most beautiful residential area north of Regents Park and the
famous Baker Street.
If you get a chance have a good look at the City of London with
using an amphibious vehicle with a Duck Tour - it's the best
way to travel by road and by river in London ie. along the
river Thames !
London is famous for it's historical buildings including
Admiralty Arch, Queen Victoria Memorial, Wellington Arch,
Bunhill Fields, Covent Garden, Duke of York's Column and many
more.

Street, Charing Cross Road and Greenwich and afterwards why not
wander into the many various museum types in London. Some more
of particular note are the Tate Galleries, London History
Museum, London Maritime Museum, National Gallery, London
Transport Museum etc.

London's best art galleries sell international modern &
contemporary art paintings and paraphernalia at interesting
prices.
How about enjoying London from the top of a traditional Double

off and back on at Trafalgar Square or at Whitehall.
