London is one of the world’s most exciting cities to visit. Two thousand years have left this capital with more than 19,000 listed buildings. The city has grown and the scene and atmosphere changes on every corner. It has royal palaces and pageantry, stylish shops, theatres, music and art, and is also a dynamic financial and business hub. London is vigorously alive, you will be overwhelmed with everything on offer, and will find yourself immersed in the fascinating buzz that draws people from every corner of the globe

Some of the traditional architecture is breath-taking, like the masterpiece of St. Pauls Cathedral and yet sits comfortably with modern pieces, like the London Eye. You can feel the history of the city, in the Tower of London and Tower Bridge, but take steps into the future exploring the galleries of the Tate Modern. London is rich in pomp and ceremony drawing crowds to age old ceremonies and pageantry. Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament encompass all this with regular splendid parades and processions.
