Information about London
London is unlike any other region in England, a city so vast and multifaceted that it defies easy description. As both a city and a region in its own right, Greater London spans thirty-two boroughs plus the City of London, each with its own character, history and appeal.
For visitors deciding where to stay, the choice of location within London matters as much as the city itself. The West End puts you at the heart of theatre, shopping and iconic landmarks, while areas like Shoreditch, Brixton and Notting Hill offer a more neighbourhood feel, with independent restaurants, markets and a creative energy that is distinctly their own.
London’s history spans two thousand years, from its origins as a Roman settlement on the Thames to its present status as one of the world’s great capitals. That history is visible at every turn — in the Tower of London, the great churches and cathedrals, the royal parks and palaces, and the world-class museums that are free to enter and among the finest anywhere on earth.
The Thames runs through the heart of the city, and the riverside — from Greenwich in the east to Richmond in the west — offers some of London’s most rewarding walking, dining and sightseeing.
Beyond the landmarks, London rewards those who explore its quieter corners — its garden squares, hidden pubs, covered markets and leafy outer boroughs that offer a very different pace from the centre.
Whatever brings you to London, the city has an extraordinary range of places to stay to suit every taste and budget.
