Why go on holiday to London? The
largest city in Europe, it's undergoing a renaissance with an upsurge
in exciting new bars, galleries and buildings. Here you'll find
everything from 2,000 years of history to the latest in street culture.
It's a place to stimulate the mind and the senses but it's also one of the most expensive cities in the world.
How much does it cost? Accommodation
in London can be expensive for the quality of hotel room you'll get.
Expect to pay anything from £45 per person per night. It's best to book
before you arrive in London as demand can outstrip supply. On a break
the best place to stay for value and accessibility is in the
Bloomsbury/Russell Square area.
How do I get there? By
train: London has eight major railway stations, all of which are
central. Charing Cross, Victoria, Liverpool St, King's Cross, Waterloo,
Paddington, Euston and Marylebone all have Underground and bus links
nearby.
The nearest to the West End are Victoria and Waterloo,
although King's Cross and Euston are at the northern side of that area.
Marylebone and Paddington are in the west of the city, Liverpool St to
the east.
By coach: most coaches arrive at Victoria Coach
Station, about 10 minutes' walk from the Victoria railway/Underground
station where you can connect with Circle, District and Victoria tube
lines, as well as with local transport buses.
By air: Heathrow,
Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, and London City airports all serve London.
From Heathrow catch the Piccadilly line, the Airbus or the new Heathrow
Express train into central London. From Gatwick get the rail link to
Victoria station.
From Stansted you can get a train to Liverpool
St Station, which has various transport links. From London City Airport
take the shuttle bus to Liverpool St or Canary Wharf.
By car: the M1, M20, M23, M26, M3, M4, M40 and M11 all connect to the M25 circular around London.
When should I go? July
to September is packed with tourists. More than 20 million people visit
London every year. The best times to go are April to June and
January/February when some hotel prices may be cheaper, and queues for
attractions are generally shorter.
Buses, boats and walking
What should I do when I'm there? The
best way to see the sights, such as Buckingham Palace, St Paul's, the
Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament is on a sightseeing bus.
You can get on one at Piccadilly Circus and many other stops. For a
bird's eye view of the city, take a trip on the London Eye. On a good
day you can see as far as Windsor Castle, 25 miles away, as well as
London favourites like the Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge.
Away
from the hustle and bustle there are lots of parks to enjoy such as
Hyde Park and Regent's Park. For a quirky day out try Camden or Notting
Hill markets at the weekend. London has the greatest variety of theatre
in the world, so catch a show.
For museums and galleries, visit
Tate Britain, the Tate Modern, the National Gallery or the Victoria and
Albert, or the grandaddy of them all, the British Museum.
Can I see London on foot? Both
the centre and the City of London can easily be explored on foot. There
are many organised walks, including London Walks (tel 020 7624 3978).
There are also theme walks such as Sherlock Holmes and Jack the Ripper Tours. Check with the London Tourist Board.
Can you take boat trips along the Thames? If
walking doesn't seem a good idea, catch a boat from Westminster Pier
down river to Greenwich (return fare £7.50). You'll pass Shakespeare's
Globe Theatre, Tower Bridge and the Millennium Dome - and many more
major landmarks.
There's also a good craft market at Greenwich at the weekends.
