You will be amazed with the large variety of hotels, from London 5 star hotels to 2 star hotels… from chic and pricey London boutique hotels to budget bed and breakfast hotels. Make sure to choose a hotel according to the purpose of your visit keeping proximity and cost in mind.
A few good examples are the Langham Hotel London, located at the West End of the city and ideally situated near Regents Park.

There are many modes of transportation in London. If you like to travel in style, renting a chauffeured vehicle is quite common in London. You can take the fast underground trains, commonly known as the tube, for shopping or to visit any of London’s famous attractions. Get a single day or multiple day discounted travel pass.
It’s not a bad idea to start the day by taking a bus or underground to St. Paul’s station off the Central Line to see the St. Paul’s Cathedral which is quite an architectural wonder, and an awesome historical breathtaking beauty. Stop in at Vinopolis, if you want to experience worldclass wine tasting. Here, you can learn everything about winemaking.
Of all the other sights, the Thames offers the most famous one in London and you can get an impressive view of the city from the Tower Bridge. From there when you reach the north bank, don’t miss out the Tower of London. It’s a very historical and a must see sight.

After a tiring day, you may want to reward yourself with a sumptuous and succulent meal. London has scores of restaurants that offer dozens of cuisines from various parts of the world. It’s a good idea to join Henry the VIII and his special guests who will perform a festive show at The Medieval Banquet located at Ivory House, St Katharine’s Dock.

Yes London is one of those places that most people want to visit at least once in their life. I don’t think I would enjoy the busyness and high prices, but it has so many things to see and do. Perhaps I will stop there on a trip across Europe.
London sounds like such a great place to visit. I must visit London and Paris. I just need to save up my money and vacation.
