London
Where History, Culture & Chaos Collide
London is one of the world's truly great cities — a place where you can walk from a medieval castle to a Michelin-starred restaurant to a cutting-edge art gallery in an afternoon. As one of the most visited cities on Earth, it has mastered the art of welcoming visitors while remaining unmistakably itself.
The city's diversity means every neighbourhood tells a different story: the stately grandeur of Westminster, the artsy energy of Shoreditch, the riverside charm of Greenwich, the Caribbean colour of Notting Hill. And London's finest museums and galleries are completely free.
