A City Within a City

It's hard to believe that the area known as the City, with its tall, futuristic skyscrapers, unmistakable New York vibes, and continuous function as the British capital's business and finance mecca, is the historic core of London. The City is where it all started for London, with traces of its past dating back to Roman times. Apart from a unique blend of architectural styles from different periods, which is fascinating in its own right, the City also encompasses several unmissable landmarks in a relatively compact area that's easy to explore on foot. Start at the Sky Garden for incredible panoramic views of London from the building's terrace. Tickets are free, but they must be booked well in advance, between two and four weeks before your visit. Once you've seen London from above, it's time to walk the streets of the City, discovering its secrets one by one. Leadenhall Market is gorgeous and buzzing with life; no wonder Diagon Alley, the famous popular shopping district of the Harry Potter universe, was brought to life there. The elegance of the Royal Exchange building will amaze you, while the Monument to The Great Fire of London awaits you for more spectacular views of London. Wrap up a perfect day in the City with a cocktail or dinner at one of the area's stylish bars or restaurants.

The Glow of West End

London's West End rivals Broadway in its diversity of shows, including several productions moving to London for a run. Musicals live their great days of glory in London, as producers are attracted by the lower costs to stage a show, so there's always something new to see there. Ticket prices are very reasonable, with some shows also having mid-afternoon matinees. To help you choose the best shows for your dates, we'll include some useful links in your Guest Page for good deals on theater and musicals.
