London is always buzzing with energy. It’s not only the capital of Britain but also the country’s hub of finance, commerce, fashion, culture and entertainment. It’s the largest city in Europe and has an incredibly multi-ethnic population. Fast, lively, dynamic and exciting, it makes the perfect city break destination.

Although an established city since Roman settlement in 43 AD, the city only rose to prominence after the Norman Conquest in the 11th century when William the Conqueror chose Westminster Abbey for his coronation – and since then almost every English and British monarch has been crowned there. Despite disasters such as the Great Fire of London in 1666, the 17th century Plague and the destruction caused by the ‘Blitz’ in World War Two, London has continued to survive and prosper through its spirit and determination. Nowadays it has some world-class museums and art galleries and an entertainment scene unrivalled almost anywhere else in the world world – there’s an overwhelming choice of theatres, bars, pubs and restaurants. With so much to do and see, it’s a city you’ll never tire of.
