About London
London is a city of layers, where Roman walls, royal palaces and gleaming skyscrapers share the same skyline. Cross Tower Bridge to reach the Tower of London and its Crown Jewels, then ride the London Eye for sweeping views over the Thames, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. World-class museums such as the British Museum and the Natural History Museum offer free entry, making the capital surprisingly accessible.
The city's neighbourhoods each have a distinct character. Soho and the West End pulse with theatre and nightlife, Camden serves up markets and music, while South Kensington clusters the great museums. Across the river, the South Bank links the Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe and the Borough Market food stalls in one easy walk.
No trip is complete without an excursion to the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, where the Making of Harry Potter draws fans from around the world. Combined with West End musicals and a ride on the historic Underground, London delivers an itinerary that easily fills several days. Book timed tickets ahead to skip the queues at the busiest sights.
