London is Europe's largest city, spanning more than six hundred
and twenty square miles from its heart on the River Thames.
London is Europe's most diverse metropolises: there are around
two hundred languages spoken within its confines, and more than
thirty percent of the population is made up of first, second and
third generation immigrants.
Despite Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish transference, London
is still where the country's news and money are made. London is
where the central government resides and where unsophisticated
life begins. Londoners' sense of superiority causes enormous
resentment in the regions, but it is undeniable that the capital
has a great measure of success in most walks of British life.
Most of the major attractions in Europe is located in London.
London boasts four World Heritage Sites, 238 attractions that
are free to enter (so there's nowhere else in the world where
you can see so much for so little). Visit the many museums and
castles that the city has to offer.
About thirty percent of London is open space; the other areas
are filled with one of the 143 registered parks and gardens.
Many of the parks have short walking paths and nature trails can
be found in places like Hampstead Heath and Mile End Park, so
let us put on our walking shoes and go for a stroll, take a
picnic lunch for the end of your walk.
The National Gallery houses paintings ranging from 1250 to
1900, including the works of Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Van
Gogh, Botticelli, Gainsborough, Turner, Cezanne along with other
great works.
The British Museum exhibits the works of man from primitive to
modern times with a collection from all around the world. The
Rosetta stone, sculptures from the Parthenon and the Portland
Vase are included in this museum.
