Welcome to London











The UK’s iconic capital, London, is home to many unique landmarks that you won’t find anywhere else across the country. Whether it's food and drink, or art and culture that you're looking for - you'll certainly find it here.


London is home to the weird and wonderful, and is a unique place where tradition and modernity collide to create a city that truly has something for everyone. From the traditional architecture of Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament, to places like the Sky Garden – which is a inside the very top of a skyscraper!

1. The London Eye

The London Eye is an iconic image of London, and is a must visit on your first trip to London. It’s the ultimate sight-seeing tour of London – from one spot! On your way up you’ll get the best views of the city and all of it’s beautiful architecture. Do be careful though, this attraction isn’t for everyone! At it’s pinnacle, the London Eye reaches 135m high, so it definitely isn’t for the faint of heart…

2. Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is a beautiful piece of Victorian gothic architecture, which has become a symbol for London over the years. When it was built, it was the largest and most sophisticated design of its type – due to its unique hydraulic engine that allows the bridge to lift to allow larger ships and vessels to pass by underneath.

3. The Victoria and Albert Museum

The V&A museum in London is the world’s largest museum of arts, design and sculpture. Founded in 1852, you’ll find it in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea. However, art isn’t the only exhibit you’ll find here – the architecture of the building is an art form in itself!

4. The Natural History Museum

Not only is the museum itself a monument of architectural history, it is also home to many different skeletons and specimens – one of the most notable being the Blue Whale skeleton which is displayed in the central hall, suspended above your heads! It is also home to a large array of prehistoric fossils and skeletons to look, as well as depictions of what these creatures would have looked like when they walked the Earth!

5. The Science Museum

The Science Museum is a great alternative to the traditional museums that we’ve seen above, and the really great thing about it – like most other publicly funded museums in London… it’s completely free to visit. It features a lot of different exhibits showing the leaps and bounds made in the studies of science and engineering, as well as having an immersive IMAX cinema which shows unique documentaries.

6. The Shard

The Shard is a glass skyscraper which – standing at over 309 metres – is the tallest building in the United Kingdom, and is 6th tallest in Europe! You can visit The Shard’s observation deck, which can be found on the 72nd floor (of 95), to look out across London. At the height of 244 metres, you’ll get a real bird’s eye view that you can’t get anywhere else – except in a plane of course!

7. The Sky Garden

The Sky Garden is London’s highest public garden. Not only will you get beautiful views of the city from the 43rd floor, you can breathe in the sights and smells of nature. They have an open air balcony, which you can step out and enjoy the scenery, or you can return inside and view the natural beauty of the perfectly landscaped gardens within.

8. The West End

The West End is London’s renowned theatre district, and any trip to London is never complete without seeing a show. Les Miserables is the longest running West End musical, and it’s immensely popular. But the West End is home to 39 theatres, so there are plenty of musicals to choose from, to suit all tastes!
