What Has London Got To Offer?
When looking at London it can be difficult to know where to start, there really is so much on offer. The first point to make is that while the term London generally refers to the various boroughs of the capital, there is actually a separate City of London which dates back centuries. The city is the capital of the United Kingdom and boasts an array of leading tourist, business and historical attractions.
The greater London area has a population of over 7 million people and is widely known as one of the tourist hotspots of Europe. London has so much to offer on so many different angles, with the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London for starters. Then we have the world renowned Oxford street shops which are literally at a standstill over the Christmas period with shoppers invading the city. London really does have it all, arts, culture, politics, education centres, fashion and a financial centre which is a leader in so many different fields.
However, for many people it is the vibrancy and excitement of the city which is the main attraction, a city which actually has its own micro-climate – pumping out its own heat at night time when the air gets a little colder. The UK, and especially London, is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world with a section of the great city for each and every culture around the world. Much of this diverse culture comes from the spread of countries which the UK used to rule and while many have now left the commonwealth, the cultural impact of many still remains.
It is very difficult to cover London in such a short passage of writing but it is know as the city which never sleeps, the city which is awake 24 hours a day 7 days a week. If that were not enough the city has great links will all areas of the UK, with Scotland only a few hours away and France even closer – not to mentioned mainland Europe and the US only a plane journey away.
