London is a buzzing city. There is so much going on and so much to see and do. There is something for absolutely everyone in London. Also, as a big multi-cultural city, Londoners tend to be an open minded bunch.
There are numerous amazing museums in London to visit on a self catering break including the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum. The British Museum has to be one of the best in the world. There are also countless art galleries for almost every taste – how about the Tate Modern or the National Portrait Gallery?
The Tower of London is really interesting, history lovers will really enjoy a visit there. Hampton Court is also well worth a visit and the square inside Hampton Court is lovely for enjoying a glass of wine outside in summer time.
Covent Garden and Camden Market are great for shopping with a real atmosphere. Covent Garden has a cool arty vibe and Camden has a real international flavour.
If it’s entertainment you are after try Theatreland and go see a musical – or there is opera if you prefer. For those with kids, how about the IMAX for an amazing time watching 3d film.
If it is a view you are after then don’t miss a trip on the London Eye. Simply wonderful and even more spectacular at night time.
The London underground makes getting around London relatively easy and is relatively reasonably priced. Or if you prefer, take the bus. Buses around London can sometimes get around faster than you think via the bus lanes. Or if your budget allows you can catch a cab – but this is the expensive way of exploring London. Whatever you do, it’s best to avoid driving, London gets very congested and if you don’t want to spend your self catering holiday in traffic jams, jump on the tube or bus!
