LONDON UK TRAVEL GUIDE
London England Hotel and Travel Guide - London is an eclectic blend of the Third and First Worlds, with upper, middle and lower class all co-existing with great flair! You will find the chauffeurs and beggars, the well-established with the hard-working class, all mixed in among the avant-garde. In the 19th century it was the center of a large and prosperous overseas empire, the largest and most influential city in the world! No longer among the world's most populous cities, London is still among the world's major financial and cultural capitals. |
London is home to many of the best artists
and poets down through the centuries. It offers the visitor
a magnificent overview of British history and heritage, from
its busy streets and waterways to the historical buildings,
monuments, and bridges. London is famous for its outstanding
museums and galleries, royal palaces, monuments, quaint squares
and peaceful green parks. Visitors delight by the excellent
shops, and exciting nightlife.
So far as European standards go, London
is physically spread out with a number of wonderful focal
points. The city's character is found amidst its diverse and
easily identifiable sections. Many of these sections started
as quaint villages, and today they still inspire visitors
with some of their individual identities. London remains distinct
thanks to its rich past. Its major buildings and institutions
represent some 2000 years in remarkable community history.
Not like other European cities, London appears
to be unplanned and even scratched together. This is all part
of its appeal. Visiting London resembles stumbling upon a
giant-sized board game complete with lots of busy traffic.
You might not be too clear on where you have landed but you
will be sure to have some fun! The city is so widespread,
visitors will make good use of the underground train system.
If you want to make better sense of your bearings, grab a
city bus. This will afford you the chance to fit the pieces
of puzzle together in fine style. London buses are a tour
unto themselves!
