From traditionalists to modern artists, London has it all and whether you want the large and imposing art galleries known all over the globe or the smaller, quaint displays by little known artists, you can find it all within the city limits.

The city has a remarkable, four UNESCO World Heritage Sites including the Tower of London, the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, The Palace of Westminster which includes St Margaret's Westminster and Westminster Abbey, and, last but not least, Maritime Greenwich. Indeed, the typical view of London is of a crowded and bustling city and while that is certainly true, it also has its tranquil locations. Hyde Park for instance has over 300 acres of green land with relaxing walks and peaceful lakes while Richmond Park is home to some interesting wildlife and features hundreds of free roaming deer.

Given its size then it is no surprise that London offers some of the best shopping and nightlife experiences in the country.

The nightlife is fantastic too and it has one of Europe’s best clubbing scenes with music to suit all tastes.
