Why visit London

For many people there are a million and one reasons to visit London, but for the uninitiated, it can be hard to decide what to do. For those of you planning your first trip to England’s capital city, here are a few ideas.

To get a good feel for London, I would recommend taking a good walk around London’s West End. This is the area in which most of the tourism is centred around. This area includes Piccadilly, Leicester Square, Soho and Covent Garden. These small areas probably have enough in them to entertain you for months, not weeks, and if it turns out that you like the area, you might choose to stay around this area and not venture much further.

In Soho you will find lots of lovely places to eat, and a fair amount of great live musical venues too. If you like a bit of jazz, then why not visit the legendary Ronnie Scotts in Soho?

For those of you who love to shop, you should take a wander past Soho to Oxford Street. This is an enormous street which caters for just about everybody who has any sort of retail shopping need. From high street chain stores to the wonderful tailors on Saville Row, just off Oxford Street, this has everything you could possibly need.

For evening entertainment try the new lion king theatre performance at one of the famous theatre’s in the West End.
