With a population of 7,465,100, London is the seat of the British parliament and a major center for modern culture and capitalism. If you have ever played the board game of monopoly, you will be familiar with many of the place names.

London is a great destination with many places of interest including Buckingham Palace, the museums, Tower of London, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, Barnsbury Park and Westminster Abbey.

Mid summer (July and August) is the best time to visit as the weather is generally warm and settled, however accommodation can be scarce and prices higher and the popular attractions crowded with lines of people waiting admission.

The river Thames flows slowly through the city and a river tour makes for a pleasant introduction to the city. You will see many landmarks including the Tower Bridge, Big Ben, the London Eye and the London Aquarium. St.Pauls, Cathedral, the Tate Modern and the Palace of Westminster.
