Upon your arrival in London

After landing in London, the most convenient way to get into the city centre is by taxi, which takes around 30 minutes.

A brief introduction to London

Boasting rich history, world class museums, dozens of lush city parks, as well as endless arts, dining and culture, there’s little wonder why London is one of the world’s most visited cities.

To get a panoramic view of the capital city, take a ride on the London Eye on the South Bank of the River Thames. At the top, you’ll be able to marvel at London’s skyline, which includes historic buildings like St Paul’s Cathedral, and modern skyscrapers such as The Shard and ‘The Gherkin’. Once you descend, you can walk Westminster Bridge to come face to face with iconic landmarks such as Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. 

London’s world class museums are well worth a visit, many of which can be found in South Kensington. Some of the more popular options being the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and Victoria & Albert Museum. To see London’s more eclectic side, consider a visit to East London where you will find a selection of street art, vibrant markets and authentic Indian restaurants. London’s beautiful parks are another great destination and are the perfect place for a midday picnic. St. James Park and Green Park are a few local favourites, both of which are near Buckingham Palace.
