London, a vibrant and ethnically diverse metropolis, is also a city steeped very deep in history. And not just the English history, but also perhaps, the histories of countless other nations have been shaped by London. The seat of the longest-reigning monarchy in English history is in London. For a peek at the life of the famous English royals, a visit to Buckingham Palace is a must. Visit the many museums – Natural History Museum, British Museum or the Victoria & Albert Museum, for a glimpse of the treasures of the world. London’s arts & cultural venues are not to be missed either. And if you just want to sit down after trundling about in the city all day, there’s no dearth of parks, which are tourist attractions in themselves – Hyde Park, The Regent’s Park, St. James’ Park, etc. London’s restaurants and buzzing nightlife are sure to keep you up till dawn!
