Why visit London
Roman walls, royal palaces and the world’s best theatre scene share one city. London rewards walkers: from the South Bank’s riverside path to Camden’s markets and Greenwich’s observatory. The Tube makes day trips to Windsor, Oxford and the Cotswolds easy, and the food scene now rivals Paris - from Sunday roasts to Michelin-starred tasting menus.
