London
One of the most exciting cities in the world, London is a vibrant mix of cultures, history and heritage.
With so many things to do in London you could easily become distracted by the sheer size of the sprawling metropolis. It’s a city that’s faced fire and floods, fought off invaders from the sea and sky, and has a skyline that combines medieval with modern.
London days out are full of fun and exploration. Visit any one of the free museums to discover the city’s past, or for more a ghoulish insight head to the London Dungeons for a more immersive experience.
Home to a melting pot of cultures and cuisines there are cafes, restaurants, bars and pubs on every corner, each offering something unique and delicious.
Getting to London couldn’t be easier and travelling around London is easier still - take the Tube, boat, bike or bus, or go by good old-fashioned foot.
London has something for everyone and we’re here to make your day in the capital as stress-free as possible, so as soon as you alight the train, you’re ready and raring to go.
