LONDON

LONDON—the UK Capital—has been the seat of the English monarchy since William the Conqueror was crowned in Westminster Abbey in 1066. The city has been shaped by its rich history, which can be seen in its architecture, the historic palaces and landmark monuments such as Tower Bridge, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tower of London and the Palace of Westminster.

London today is arguably the most vibrant and cosmopolitan city in the world, and with an ever-changing landscape, it continues to evolve as a globally significant commercial and cultural centre.

Fans of sport, music, art, fashion, architecture, shopping and world-class cuisine are spoiled for choice. Contemporary design and modern architecture seen in buildings such as the Shard, the Walkie-Talkie and the Gherkin create a dynamic contrast to London’s world-famous historic venues.

London is one of the world’s most accessible travel hubs, with five international airports located within close proximity. Direct rail connections on Eurostar sustainably link London to some of Europe’s major cities including Paris, Amsterdam and Brussels. Domestic rail services link quickly and easily to UK cities including Edinburgh, Liverpool, Manchester and Bath.
