London is the most populous city in the European Union, and
has for centuries maintained its status as one of the world's
centres of trade, commerce and culture. The history of settlement
in the immediate London area stretches back to early Roman settlements,
followed by Anglo-Saxon and Viking settlements, and eventually
coalescing into what is now the seat of the UK's national government.
Even after the Great Plague taking a major toll on the city,
immediately followed by the Great Fire of 1666 which destroyed
much of the city, London rebuilt and maintained it's position
as a leading world city.
London has, like other
major cities such as Paris and Rome, established itself as a
cultural leader throughout history. Travelers from all over the
the world came to London to do business or deal with government
matters, and brought their cultures and histories with them.
London's size and diversity has been an inspiration to writers,
performers and other artists, and London's many museums are testimony
to its unique position as a cultural centre. The growing population
also brought about other innovations, such as the world's first
underground rail network, the famous London Underground. The
city's long history, and such events as the Great Fire and the
Blitz of WWII, have resulted in a wide variety of architectural
styles throughout the city.
London boasts an unbeatable
array of notable attractions, such as the Tower of London and
Big Ben (perhaps the most famous clock in human history). Tours
are available for various interests, from bus tours covering
all the major landmarks to walking tours catering to the most
specialized of subjects. An enterprising traveler can entertain
themselves easily for a week with a city Travelcard and a couple
of maps, discovering something new around every corner. There
is never a shortage of theatre shows in London, along with museums
featuring historical artifacts, modern artwork, preserved historic
homes, or even antique medical curiosities.
Accommodation in London is as varied as the city's cultural
attractions. Budget travelers can find a variety of hostels and
small bed and breakfast establishments. Business travelers are
accommodated with a wide variety of nice mid-range hotels and
the higher-end bed and breakfasts. Luxury travelers will find
London's selection of world-class high-end hotels leave nothing
to be desired. London is a city accustomed to hosting visitors
during all seasons of the year. The only major caution to new
visitors might be to avoid the Christmas shopping season, if
you're hoping to have an easy time finding your way around!
