Where to start? It's difficult, frankly. The city is so packed with attractions, destinations, places to eat and drink that it's impossible to condense the information into such a small space. You could easily spend a holiday in just one of its many Boroughs. Here are some obvious holiday highlights but spend time browsing the 'Attractions' link to discover it yourself.
World class sites
A good place to start is with London's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Concentrated in a small area on the north bank of the
River Thames are
Westminster Palace World Heritage Site,
St Margaret's Church World Heritage Site and
Westminster Abbey World Heritage Site. Head east along the river and there's the
Tower Of London World Heritage Site and further along is
Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site. To the west of central London is
Kew, Royal Botanic Gardens World Heritage Site. It's a start!
Centre of culture
And then there's the culture. Theatres, galleries, museums and tours. There are the
The National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery around Trafalgar Square, the
Royal National Theatre,
Royal Academy of Arts (RA),
Tate Modern, Imperial War Museum,
British Museum,
Globe Theatre,
Victoria and Albert Museum,
The British Library,
Natural History Museum and
National Maritime Museum. You've got the
West End to experience and Covent Garden, Camden and Bloomsbury.
Fresh air
It's also a very 'green' city with lots of Parks and open spaces so stretch your legs and people watch in
St James's Park, Kensington Gardens,
Hyde Park,
Greenwich Park,
Kew, Royal Botanic Gardens World Heritage Site, Hampstead Heath, Green Park, Battersea Park, Richmond Park, Highgate Cemetery, Pall Mall
And remember, the Olympics 2012 takes place in London. The Olympic Park and Stadium in
Stratford.
