A trip to London is an experience not to be missed. This sprawling multicultural metropolis has it all from iconic tourist attractions to outdoor markets, budding art galleries and shopping. It’s hard to imagine the hustle and bustle until you’ve seen it for yourself. First-timers will want to head straight for the classics like Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye. If you’ve got a bit more time, there are endless possibilities to entertain everyone. 

You could lose half a day or more inside the overwhelmingly beautiful and fascinating Natural History Museum. Let your imagination run wild as you gaze up at the vast skeleton of a blue whale in the central hall. For a cultural immersion head over to the Victoria & Albert Museum, a short walk away. For some of the most fascinating archaeological discoveries in human history pop into the British Museum which displays the well-known Rosetta Stone. 

Experiment with international street food, try on a vintage jacket, or just enjoy a drink and people watch at one of London’s many markets. Don't miss the picturesque Camden Market, Portobello Road or foodie’s paradise the Borough Market. London is peppered with points of cultural interest like Platform 9 and ¾ at King’s Cross, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Baker Street, Shakespeare’s Globe and Highgate Cemetery. Or you can enjoy just being a tourist and take in the sights from the top of a double-decker or recreate the Beatles’ most famous album cover on Abbey Road. 

If you’re looking to escape the city for a bit, go for a stroll in one of the many gorgeous green parks dotted around the city. Mix in with the locals on Hampstead Heath and enjoy a traditional British picnic.
