About London

London is a sprawling, endlessly layered capital where a 1,000-year-old Tower sits a few Tube stops from glass skyscrapers and world-class galleries are free to walk into. It moves fast and is genuinely global — you'll hear dozens of languages in a single market — with a nightlife, food and theatre scene that runs to nearly any budget. It rewards picking a few neighbourhoods and going deep rather than trying to see it all.
