Destination Highlights
Live Like Royalty
The official residence of the Queen, the palace is surrounded by
a 40-acre garden and guarded by Scotland Yard 24 hours a day.
A tourist favorite is the changing of the guard, at 11:30 a.m.
every day (or every other day in some months).
Tea Time
A historic hotel like The Ritz London is a must-visit for
afternoon teas, but check out one of the capital's more unusual
services too. From empanadas to cotton candy, this trend will set
Earl Grey spinning in his grave.
Rowing on the Serpentine
In the middle of Hyde Park is winding Serpentine Lake; rent a
boat and soak up the bucolic atmosphere of a warm afternoon. This
idyllic location is the backdrop and inspiration for one of
Renoir's most famous paintings, "Woman in a Boat."
An English Garden
London is famous for its beautiful gardens. Many that have been
preserved and maintained are former private estates. Visit the 120+
acres of Royal Botantical Gardens, Kew Gardens or take a leisurely
walk through Holland Park.
Double-down
The red double-decker buses of London are famous worldwide
and a hop-on, hop-off sightseeing tour onboard one of these iconic
vehicles is the perfect way to introduce yourself to the layout of
the city and its many attractions.
About London, England
European Elegance and Chic Fun
In many cities, the juxtaposition of tradition and ceremony with the fast pace of a global financial center might strike an uneasy balance. In London, it's just part of the fun. On the one hand, you can witness the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, cross the River Thames on the iconic Tower Bridge, and sample strawberries and cream at Wimbledon. On the other, you can also find the latest fashions, hip nightclubs, and authentic cuisine from virtually any corner of the Earth. The famous theater scene, the British Museum and National Gallery, and Westminster Abbey are several reasons to vacation or do business in London.
Forecasting Your London Vacation
Don't think of London encapsulated constantly by fog and a
dreary ongoing drizzle. While that can be the weather forecast from
time to time, London enjoys a temperate environment that
experiences all four seasons (and plenty of sunny days to enjoy as
well). Think of London as an urban paradise that features a bounty
of historic landmarks, stately gardens and royal parks.
