The remarkable history of London would be enough to draw visitors from around the globe. With landmarks like Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London, there’s plenty to see. The heart of London may be reverent of its past, but its personality is modern and bold. A gracious host to new and exciting trends that span architecture, food and more, London is a city that embraces both history and innovation.
For a peek at the city’s storied past, take in the sights that have been fixtures for centuries. The Tower of London, once a dark home to prisoners, is now a main attraction and a World Heritage Site. For more royal inspiration, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace fit the bill, and don’t miss impressive Hampton Court Palace, built during the reign of Henry VIII. The museums of London house an astonishing collection of the world’s treasures which can be found at the British Museum and the National Gallery. The Tate Modern is a stark contrast to the old architecture found throughout London and art lovers flock to gaze at the galleries lined with masterpieces from international artists.
If you crave a lively night out, London’s theater scene isn’t one to be missed. With Shakespeare setting the tone for the city’s performing arts scene centuries ago, the theatrical offerings of today don’t disappoint. With plays ranging from Shakespearean classics to Broadway-like performances in the West End you’ll find something to suit your tastes.
Foodies have found London and the city has replied with a staggering offering of fabulous dining options including luxe steakhouses, trendy takes on curry, and a gilded touch when it comes to pub fare. Refusing to fall into its previous stereotype of having uninspiring eats, London is currently a hotspot for excellent dining and is busting at the seams with gifted chefs.
As with all cities that have rich histories and a diverse population, the street market culture in London is huge. From the spectacular Covent Garden to the famed Portobello Market, you’ll love the experience of searching for vintage clothes, rare antiques, one of a kind art, or gourmet delights. If your shopping desires require a roof overhead, there’s no shopping destination in London as luxurious as Bond Street. Lined with designer boutiques and fine jewelers, it’s one of the best locations for giving your credit card a workout. For another iconic experience, a stop at Harrod’s is a must.
Landmarks and architecture that date back centuries, a thriving theater culture, robust dining, and fabulous shopping. This is only a fraction of what London has to offer its visitors, so what are you waiting for?
