London. One of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. A sprawling, cosmopolitan hive of activity, a 24-hour city of unrivalled cultural opportunity with a vibrant and exhilarating atmosphere.

   Extensive international influence has put the capital at the cutting edge of design in terms of fashion, architecture, food and engineering. London's top attractions such as the BA London Eye are testament to the vision which is taking London into the new millennium. British food is also shaking off its old image, the city's vast selection of high quality restaurants have seen the birth of a new British cuisine nurtured by the country's finest chefs and this in its turn has influenced the arrival of high quality delicatessens and food markets. London has emerged as a modern, glamorous city of world-class shows, classical concerts and operas, a city of grand hotels, globally renowned museums, beautiful parks and vibrant nightlife.
