A brief introduction to London

The cultural and political heart of England, London is a historic city full of famous museums, charming city parks, and world class architecture.

Begin your trip with the quintessential London experience - by visiting the city’s iconic landmarks. Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey, are all must-visits and are conveniently located within walking distance of each other.

To see some of the architectural masterpieces, ‘The Gherkin’ and The Shard are must-visits. We also recommend taking a ride on the London Eye observation wheel, where you can get a magnificent bird’s eye view of the entire city.

London is also known for its museums and art galleries. Some of the top destinations to go to include the National Portrait Gallery, Tate Modern, and the British Museum. History lovers will appreciate the Imperial War Museum, which features recreations and artefacts from World War One.

The city also boasts a number of lush parks, which are the perfect place to enjoy a midday picnic. St. James Park and Green Park are among the local favourites as they are located near Buckingham Palace.
