All about London
London is one of the world’s great old cities, situated on the banks of the famous River Thames. The city boasts some of the world’s most recognisable landmarks including the Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the London Eye. While Buckingham Palace and the Royal family draw big crowds, it is London's diverse population that is the lifeblood of the city. Together, its residents speak more than 300 languages and are made up of cultures from all over the globe — ensuring you can experience a wide array of entertainment and food on your trip. While fish and chips are still a British favourite, they are rivalled today by curry as the nation’s most famous dish, which you can enjoy in any one of the Indian and Pakistani restaurants dotted throughout the city. And of a course a true London experience would not be complete without a trip to a traditional pub.
