Bisected by the River Thames, London is a bustling metropolis where more than 300 languages are spoken; a city steeped in history and rich cultural diversity. Explore everything from the seat of British democracy, the Palace of Westminster, to Greenwich, home of the Royal Observatory and the Prime Meridian – where you can stand with one foot in both hemispheres of the world.

Take in a hit show in one of the many West End theaters and come face-to-face with Dickens and Richard III at the National Portrait Gallery. Stroll alongside the River Fleet, where you’ll find the oldest Catholic church in England, St Etheldreda’s, and stop at a 16th-century tavern where you can sample a traditional British pint.
