Upon your arrival in London

The most convenient route from the airport to downtown London is by taxi, taking approximately 30 minutes. The Heathrow Express train will also get you to Paddington Station in around 15 minutes. The Piccadilly underground line can also be accessed from the airport terminal and will transport you to numerous destinations in the city.

A brief introduction to London

The cultural and political epicentre of the UK, London is awash with world class museums, verdant city parks, and spectacular architecture.

Start your trip by visiting some of the most iconic landmarks in London, including Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Westminster Abbey, all of which are just a short walk from each other. To see some of the city’s more modern architecture, head to ‘The Gherkin’ and The Shard. For unrivalled views of the entire city, the London Eye observation wheel will be your go-to destination.

London is also home to a diverse selection of museums and art galleries, which are scattered across the city. We recommend visiting the National Portrait Gallery, Tate Modern, and the British Museum, which has over eight million pieces in its collection. Some of the most notable items include Egyptian mummies and Elgin Marbles from the Athens Parthenon. History enthusiasts will appreciate the Imperial War Museum as it features recreations and artefacts from World War One.

Those looking to enjoy a relaxing day in the sun should visit one of the many parks for a midday picnic. St. James Park and Green Park are among the local favourites as they are a stone’s throw away from Buckingham Palace.

London also provides a vast amount of options for shopping enthusiasts, with numerous retail giants being situated on bustling Oxford Street, while lifestyle retail outlets can be found on Carnaby Street, and more quirky stores in Shoreditch.

We also recommend experiencing London’s pulsating nightlife scene. Soho district is one of the main hotspots in London as it boasts a wide selection of restaurants specialising in various international cuisines and local pubs serving British ales and ciders.
