Prestige 10 Year Anniversary

City Guides - London

Whether you arrive in London by tube, by train, inside one of the city's ubiquitous black cabs or on the top of a double decker bus, you'll immediately realise that although this city has been around for nearly 2000 years and has a deep sense of history, it retains a youthful exuberance and unique vibrancy that's hard to beat.

Today's London promises something for everyone and almost inevitably, it delivers. There are unmissable galleries and museums, most of which, amazingly, are completely free, as well as a treasure trove of unique and quirky hidden gems which are just waiting to be discovered. Don't forget either, that the glorious parks and gardens covering this greenest of capital cities are also free to explore, and we haven't yet touched on music, theatre or the arts, much less the astounding array of shopping opportunities, or the resurgence in British gastronomy with no less than 5 Michelin starred restaurants to chose from... need we go on!

So come to London and no matter what the weather, sun, rain, wind, snow (and you might get all of them in one day)... it doesn't matter - you're going to love it!

To try to help you make sense of this mega-city we've put together some guides on the different areas you could visit and have suggested some places we think you might find interesting, but we'd love to hear your suggestions as well so please let us know if you think we've missed a real treat!
