Experience London: Things To Do In And Around The Capital Of The United Kingdom

By Markus Bichler


Do you sometimes see yourself holding a warm cup of tea and catching an old bus to beautiful markets, museums, galleries and festivals after having a night out at an English bar well then London could be just what you are looking for!

London is really a multicultural metropolis with an eclectic blend of styles, culture, gourmet delicacies and amazing architectural design. There are hardly any cities in which you will see business men in tailor-made business suits travelling peacefully alongside punk rockers in a packed underground.

There's a whole lot to explore in this city vibrant with history and culture where traditions blend with the very new from the splendour of Buckingham Palace to the impressive design of Norman Foster's "Gherkin". A stroll alongside the south bank passing by The Tate Britain will take you to The London Eye the best place to for magnificent views across the city.

You may want to dig deeper to discover the true London, via the fascinating bustle of Camden town towards the antiques of Portobello market. The citys vibrant arts scene is omnipresent, with works by, amongst others, the elusive graffiti artist Banksy`. As the centre of British heritage, London has a huge variety of museums and galleries, which are all free of charge, covering the rich story of the British nation and its traditions.

Discover the energetic party atmosphere, regardless of whether you want to dance the night away at Ministry of Sound, watch your favourite band at the Hammersmith Apollo or check out the famous bar scene. As an integral element of your schedule, taking in a musical show in the West End is a must. And let's not forget the countless events and fairs which take place in London's famous Hyde Park.

For all you shopaholics, whatever budget may be, rest assured you will get your moneys worth. Roam Oxford Street for high street heaven or pick up a cheap vintage number in Spitalfields market.
