So close to London

Great transport links give you an exciting opportunity to discover the City of London which is an extraordinary place. Established soon after the Romans invaded Britain in A.D. 43, the City is where London began – the “original” London – the place from which today’s thriving metropolis grew. Such history and its position as a world leader in international finance and business has established its unique character and distinct identity. With over 2,000 years of history told through its buildings – from the remains of its Roman walls to modern icons such as the Lloyd’s Building. Old or new, there is much to marvel at – the mighty dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge and 30 St Mary Axe (the Gherkin) are just some of the landmarks that punctuate the City skyline. London's West End is the entertainment and shopping district of the capital – a trip to Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Bond Street should not be missed! Most of London's large array of theatres are found in the West End. "Theatreland" is the name given to the area around Shaftesbury Avenue out towards the Strand, one of the world's most prominent theatre scenes. Packed full of musicals, comedies, dramas and plays, the West End is constantly leading the way in entertainment.

London is a truly inspiring City.
