London

Where to start in a city with an incredible history dating back thousands of years, some of the most iconic attractions on earth and over 30,000 shops? Maybe at Westminster Abbey where every British king or queen has been crowned since 1066, or strolling the aisles of the ultimate Harrods. Take a ride on the breath-taking London Eye, the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel; or cruise the Thames River to Greenwich and step inside a quintessential Gastro Pub like The Union - the food is simple, classic British and locally sourced. London is a melting pot of cultures so dip into a myriad of cuisines from Caribbean to North African. A city that never sleeps - a smorgasbord of clubs, concerts and spectacular shows await!
