For the tourist, London is a thrilling place with a multitude of places to visit. There is no shortage of things to do in London: you can relax in the city’s quiet Georgian squares, explore the narrow alleyways of the City of London, wander along the riverside walks, and uncover the quirks of what is still identifiably a collection of villages.
The largest capital in the European Union, stretching for more than thirty miles from east to west, and with a population of just fewer than eight million, London is also incredibly diverse, ethnically and linguistically, offering cultural and culinary delights from right across the globe.
