Although other major cities in England are growing to compete with London’s eclectic mix of attractions, London is still very much loved by locals and visitors alike.
Art and Artifacts
As well as being home to many iconic landmarks, London houses many cultural treasures in over 250 registered art institutions. The British Museum, Tate Modern, National Gallery, and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) are regularly listed in the top ten best museums in the world. Architectural masterpieces themselves, museums inside historic buildings with contemporary expansions are filled with thousands of prized artworks, from the recently famed to ancient and unknown artists, there are awe-inspiring objects dating back millennials that will surely captivate both the young and old.
Cultured Cuisine
Both the ancient and the modern have an influence on cuisine in London, and eating in the capital is nothing short of an experience in itself. Dumplings in Chinatown? Nose to Tail by the Barbican? High tea at The Ritz? Curry on Brick Lane? Or a range of flavours at the Borough Market before a walk beside along the Thames, past Shakespeare’s Globe to St. Pauls. London’s cultural diversity is certainly represented in the food, so no matter where your traveller is from, venturing outside of the hotel should be highly recommended.
High Street to High Fashion
With the world's most eager fashion followers looking to Central Saint Martins and London Fashion Week, the city caters to all shoppers regardless of the budget. Dover Street Market is where the deep-pocketed go to buy the most sought-after high fashion brands, recently relocated to the listed ex-Burberry factory in Piccadilly, this is more than just a shopping experience, it is a destination with incredible installations and museum-worthy garments. For the real London shopping experience join the crowds at Oxford Street, where tourists can Topshop till they drop or pick up £1 souvenirs for the fridge back home.
