Destinations London

Whether you’re looking for palaces or parks, art or architecture, food or fashion, London is among the most vibrant, eclectic and surprising cities in the world.

Food

London has a well-earned reputation as one of the Culinary Capitals of Europe. Along its narrow streets and modern boulevards, you’ll find countless palate-pleasing selections.

If your tastes run to the traditional, the Smoke and Salt in Brixton should be on your menu. There you’ll get a true taste of the city, with timeless London favorites prepared with ancient techniques. For more modern fare, the Chiltern Firehouse celebrates contemporary British cuisine through reimagined classics fused with bold, new flavors.
London cuisine offers something for every budget and preference.

Shopping

Home to both rising young designers and well-established labels, London features an amazing diversity of shopping options.

Oxford Street and Piccadilly Circus offer more than 300 shops, designer outlets and landmark stores. And be sure to visit Carnaby Street, where the Swinging 60s and the cultural revolution were born.
Of course, no shopping tour of London would be complete without a trip to world-famous Harrods, a department store so large it has its own postal code.

Attractions

To stroll the streets of London is to walk through centuries of heritage, culture and history.
The city’s most famous attraction – Buckingham Palace – is the seat of the British monarchy and one of the most famous palaces in the world. It’s there you can see the legendary pageantry of the Changing of the Guards. A walk along the River Thames will lead to the Tower of London, the city’s one-time fortress, palace and infamous prison.
London has a greater concentration of museums than any city in the world. The crown jewel of which is the British Museum, home of the Rosetta Stone and a wide collection of pieces from all regions and centuries.
And of course, there’s the picture-postcard grandeur of Big Ben – London’s iconic and timeless timepiece.
