London, England
Home > Destinations > England > Cambridge > London
London is the capital of both England and the United Kingdom, in the south-east of England, on the River Thames. It’s about 120 miles south-east of Birmingham, 200 miles south-east of Manchester, and 400 miles south of Edinburgh. The Eurostar links St Pancras International with Paris in around two and a half hours and Brussels in just over two. Heathrow Airport is about 15 miles west of the centre, and Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City airports add more options. The Underground (“the Tube”), buses, and the Elizabeth line make the city easy to get around, and many of the main sights are walkable from one another.
Climate: Late spring through early autumn is the most pleasant time to visit, with long days and plenty of outdoor events. Winters are mild but damp, and Christmas lights and markets make the festive season appealing.
Food and drink: London has one of the most diverse food scenes in the world, from traditional fish and chips, Sunday roasts, and afternoon tea to outstanding Indian, Chinese, Turkish, and Caribbean restaurants and Michelin-starred dining. The city’s historic pubs are an experience in themselves.
Landmarks: Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament with Big Ben, and Tower Bridge are the signature sights. St Paul’s Cathedral and the London Eye offer views over the skyline, and the Shard has the tallest viewing platform in the city.
World-class museums: The British Museum, the Natural History Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Science Museum are all free to enter. Tate Modern, the National Gallery, and the National Portrait Gallery add to one of the strongest museum offerings in the world.
Neighbourhoods: Soho and Covent Garden are known for dining and nightlife, Notting Hill for its pastel houses and Portobello Road Market, Shoreditch for street art and independent shops, and Kensington and Chelsea for elegant streets and shopping. Borough Market is a favourite for food lovers.
Theatre and music: The West End is one of the great theatre districts of the world, with long-running musicals and plays. Shakespeare’s Globe, the Royal Albert Hall, the Royal Opera House, and a vast live music scene add depth.
“When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford,” wrote Samuel Johnson in 1777. Almost 250 years later, the same can still be said!
