London's inherent uniqueness and mix of cultures have made it one of the most visited cities in the world. Its diverse bundle of boroughs are often like mini cities in their own right, with each one offering something different to the last.
London's iconic skyline is an eclectic combination of instantly recognisable landmarks, from the historic Tower of London to the ultra-modern skyscrapers of The Shard and 20 Fenchurch (better known as 'The Walkie-Talkie'). A walk through the ‘Square Mile’ immerses you in the original Roman settlement, with parts of the ancient defensive wall still visible. You'll also find some of the London's cosiest (and oldest) pubs around there, such as Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese, a former haunt of Charles Dickens and Mark Twain.
For lovers of the arts, look no further than the world-class theatres of London's West End and the live music venues of Camden, Soho and Shoreditch. You'll also find endless galleries and museums dotted around, such as the free-to-visit British Museum, Natural History Museum and the National Gallery.
Amongst all the impressive architecture and endless points of interest, it's easy to forget how green London is. 47% of the city is made up of public green space, including 3,000 parks. The most popular spots include Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens and Green Park, but it's worth venturing out to places like Richmond where you can walk amongst roaming wild deer.
London is served by several major airports, including Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Stansted, Luton and Southend. Travel is made easy by the extensive public transport links, as well as private coach services.

I’ve been to London many, many times as it is my favorite city. That most of the museums are free admission never ceases to amaze me (I’m a history buff). As Samuel Johnson said, if you’re bored with London, you’re bored with life!
the good parts
19 September 2024
the good parts -all parks , Musiums are great , -city center are clean and tidy -need to walk all around better for couples not for kids and Bicycle is a great solution for transportation (Watch out for traffic flowing from the left, if you are not get used to it you may have problem) negative comments -too expensive , too crowded -regarding dangers and risks in London city I have not experienced or witnessed any mugging. But I was always careful about that.
Historical and pleasant.

That is a tough question to ask, there is so much to see and do in London. I did visit the Victoria and Albert whilst there, I was only there for one day, but am returning in a few days to stay a little longer; I plan on visiting the Tate, the Shard, the National Gallery and Westminster Abbey and possibly a cruise down the Thames.
