London, being as big as it is, offers a host of different experiences, depending on which part of it you visit. Basically, London is made up of several cities connected to each other. The best of these towns to visit are:
Covent Garden and The Strand – This city has many shops, hotels, and theaters. As such, the Strand, a wide road leading into the city from Trafalgar Square, is always packed with visitors and cars. Outside the Strand you’ll find Covent Garden, which is full of street performers like mimes, dancers, and magicians, as well as charming bars and cafes.
Kensington – The place to be for royal shoppers and observers, you will find many shops (selling everything from clothing to home goods and antiques) and the gates of Kensington Palace. If you’ve ever wanted to see a member of the royal family, this is as good a place as any. But you’ll still see some great views and take some fantastic photos here, even if you don’t see a member of the royal family.
Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus: They are among the most iconic sites in London and are visited by millions of tourists every year. Piccadilly Circus is not a very clean place and it is very busy, but it is an area where people meet often because it is the middle part of the West End of London. Oxford Circus is the best entry point to Oxford Street, which is London’s main shopping district.
Soho and Leicester Square – Soho is a lively London city where you are sure to find great bars and fabulous restaurants. Leicester Square, located next to Soho, is well known for UK films that are released there. You may be able to spot famous celebrities in these cities, so you don’t want to forget your camera and something for them to sign.
Westminster – This is the city from which the UK government operates, and you can also find the popular Westminster Abbey here. Large and important buildings can be seen from every corner and you can’t help but feel the rich history that surrounds you. Taking a walk through the streets of Westminster is like going back to when the UK was at its best.
