Experience London: sights, tours and activities

London is one of the world’s most visited cities, and no wonder! Wandering the streets is as good as time travel, art and culture are at their finest and diversity is king with so many culinary discoveries to be made. From Westminster Abbey to Hampstead Heath and beyond Brick Lane, here’s what to see and do while on vacation in London.

Essentials in London

Westminster Abbey: The Abbey is one of the most famous churches in the world not just because it’s a work of art, but because of the history and the people entered here, including 17 monarchs from Henry III to George II. Take a tour inside and see if you can spot the Coronation Chair; it’s strangely ordinary!

Tate Modern: London’s museums are mostly all free (yippee!) and if you have time ti visit at least one, head over to the Tate Modern on the South Bank of the Thames. It’s outstanding collection of contemporary and modern art will certainly impress anyone who knows their Picassos from their Pollocks.

Camden Market: For a slice of something different, wander up to Camden Town for a taste of alternative London. There are four markets here to explore: Buck Street Market, Lock Market, Canal Market and Stables Market. You can find it all here, from Banksy tshirts to London souvenirs, antiques and army gear.
