the sights by Bus – Useful Routes CONTENTS Introduction INTRODUCTION Introduction to London London is a very big city In fact, it’s Europe’s largest capital by far, stretching for more than thirty miles on either side of the River Thames, and with a population of just under eight million Ethnically and linguistically, it’s also Europe’s most diverse metropolis, offering cultural and culinary delights from right across the globe And after sixteen years of being the only major city in the world not to have its own governing body, London finally has an elected assembly and a mayor who’s busy tackling longstanding problems such as public transport With no single predominant focus of interest, the city can seem bewilderingly amorphous to newcomers.The key to enjoying London is not to try and everything in a When to visit Despite the temperateness of the English climate, it’s impossible to say with any degree of certainty that the weather will be pleasant in any given month With average daily temperatures of around 22°C, English summers rarely get unbearably hot, while the winters (average daily temperature 6–10°C) don’t get very cold – though they’re often wet However, whenever you come, be prepared for all eventualities; in 2003, summer temperatures hit almost 40°C As far as crowds go, tourists stream into London pretty much all year round, with peak season from Easter to October, and the biggest crush in July and August, when you’ll need to book your accommodation well in advance Contents Introduction INTRODUCTION ĭ Piccadilly Circus Brick Lane Contents London Eye, the city can now boast the world’s largest modern art gallery and Ferris wheel, as well as the Millennium Bridge, the first new Thames crossing for over a hundred years Monuments from the capital’s glorious past are everywhere, from medieval banqueting halls and the İ “Banglatown”, single visit – concentrate on one or two areas and you’ll get a lot more out of the place London has always been an enthralling city, and the capital’s traditional sights – Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London – continue to draw in millions of tourists every year.Things change fast, though, and the mushrooming crop of new attractions ensure that there’s plenty to even for those who’ve visited before Since the millennium, virtually all of London’s world-class museums, galleries and institutions have been reinvented, from the Royal Opera House to the British Museum.With the Tate Modern and the Introduction Square great churches of Christopher Wren to the eclectic Victorian architecture of the triumphalist British Empire.There’s also much enjoyment to be had from the city’s quiet Georgian squares, the narrow alleyways of the City of London, the riverside walks, and the assorted quirks of what is still identifiably a collection of villages And London is offset by surprisingly large expanses of greenery, with several large public parks right in the centre as well as wilder spaces on the outskirts You could spend days just shopping in London, too, mixing with the upper classes in the “tiara triangle” around Harrods, or sampling the offbeat weekend markets of ĭ Berkeley INTRODUCTION Portobello Road, Camden and Greenwich The music, clubbing and gay/lesbian scenes are second to none, and mainstream arts are no less exciting, with regular opportunities to catch first-rate theatre companies, dance troupes, exhibitions and opera The city’s pubs have always had heaps of atmosphere, but its restaurants are now an attraction too, with everything from three-star Michelin establishments to low-cost, high-quality Chinese restaurants and Indian curry houses ĭ Sunset over the the Thames Contents Introduction LONDON AT A GLANCE INTRODUCTION Soho The headquarters of hedonistic London, Soho is the heart of the West End entertainment district, with the city’s largest concentration of theatres, cinemas, clubs, bars, cafés and restaurants Sark, Greenwich by night ĭ Cutty İ Soho Greenwich Well worth the boat or train journey from central London, Greenwich makes the most of its riverside setting, with heaps of maritime sights, a royal park, a bustling weekend market and the famous Greenwich Meridian Bankside and Southwark Covent Garden With its big covered market hall, cobbled piazza and fantastic range of shops, traffic-becalmed Covent Garden is justifiably many visitors’ favourite slice of central London The traffic-free riverside path takes you past the Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and several more sights in neighbouring Southwark, while dishing out great views over the water to St Paul’s Cathedral İ Covent Garden Piazza Contents Introduction INTRODUCTION İ Natural History Museum South Kensington A fashionably smart part of London in its own right, South Kensington is also home to the city’s most impressive trio of free museums: the Natural History, Science, and Victoria & Albert Hampstead Although buzzing with cosmopolitan life, Hampstead has managed to retain a more village-like feel than any other London suburb and boasts the wild open space of the Heath as well as a clutch of intriguing small museums Westminster Introduction Heath Contents ĭ Hampstead Home to the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the striking Abbey and Cathedral, Westminster easily justifies its status as one of London’s busiest tourist honeypots UE EN AV O A D OIR RO AD DE B E A UV RO AD GAT E R D N A L S G N I K AD RO EY KN T C H H I G H ST ROAD AIN S H OR CURT S T REE T UL S T PA ED I
