ABOUT LONDONAs Europe's largest city, London is host to more than 25 millions visitors a year; yet, it is never too crowded to be enjoyable. There is always time for tea and a leisurely stroll through London's famous parks and gardens. Popular destinations abound, including theatres, concert halls, shops, restaurants, sports venues, world famous landmarks, and hundreds of restaurants with cuisine from around the world. Festivals and musical, theatrical, and sporting events occur year round.
London offers the best of British food, fashion and cultural pursuits, but its multicultural population gives it an international flair, as well. Nearly 40 ethnic groups with populations of 10,000 or more call London home. Together with a multitude of visitors from around the globe, they give the city its vibrant mix of languages, dress, festivals, and lively street life.
Family activities hold a top priority in London. A fondness for children is reflected in the wide variety of attractions that will appeal to any youngster. Among these are zoos, rides, arcades, museums, theatres, and musical attractions, to name a few.
Millions of visitors from around the globe can attest to the continuing popularity of shopping at Harrods, visiting the Tower of London, seeing London Bridge, and touring Buckingham Palace and the Parliament building. Relive the glory days of the vast expanse of the British Empire, while enjoying the animals native to those regions at the London Zoo. Spend a day strolling through the British Museum and marveling at some of its 6 million exhibited items; tour Westminster Abbey, and the Royal parks and gardens.
Evenings begin with dinners at fabulous restaurants found in dozens of ethnic neighborhoods across London and continue with an evening at the theatre or the London Symphony and perhaps a late night stop in a neighborhood pub for a snack and a local brew before the last bell sounds. |
