London’s Calling: Don’t Forget to Go!

London is a city you will find on most peoples’ lists as a destination that they would like to visit at some point on their travels. And many who have already had the opportunity would agree that not visiting London is like everyone else having a secret and you’re the only one who does not know about it!

Indeed, the most popular tourist attractions of the city (and possibly the UK) are not to be missed. Furthermore, London also offers a genuine insight into city life in Britain and perhaps further displays how this vibrant city differs from other popular destinations located throughout the world.

To gain an idea of what London is like without having actually set foot in the capital, then guidebooks and tourist information are perhaps not necessary. For those who are fully aware, general media in the form of music, films and television will have acted as their main source of knowledge. However, regardless of the impression of London you will have gathered through other sources, what is true is that there are many attractions worth investigating on your travels.

To name but a few; the London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is an observation wheel in London that is visited by over 3 million people each year. If impressive scenery is of interest then this is where the best views of the London skyline and outer districts are to be had. For those who are not a great fan of heights, they can, as an alternative, take one of the many bus tours on offer!

Even if you have never had a proper trip to London city itself, you may well have been to Heathrow airport en route to another destination. This large airport is among the busiest in the world and flights to London from airports around the globe are common visitors to Heathrow’s runways. This is particularly true considering London is central to all things business related, and least forgetting being home to an estimated 7.5 million people.

Of course, the main attractions that are Westminster, Oxford Street, Leicester Square, Madame Tussauds, Big Ben and Chinatown perhaps need no introduction. But it would be out of the question to not fully explore other regions situated in London, as there is something for everyone to be found among the many different boroughs and ethnic groups.

Famous for its enterprise, fashion and vibrant nightlife, London is a city full of people with larger than life attitudes. Take a trip to London and if you are willing to to open your eyes and broaden your mind a little, you are sure to enjoy and come away with many wonderful memories. Therefore, whatever the reason to go there, then you will return with a new list of reasons why you should one day go back.
