Welcome To London Travel Holiday!
If you are planning a London travel vacation, then you'll have to plan where you visit carefully as London has much to offer - too much to see in just one trip. No matter what you like be it history, gardens, nightlife or art, London has something for everyone.
With over 150 events each day, 300 museums and 200 galleries there is enough to keep one busy no matter how long your vacation is. Check out the Tate art museum in the morning and then pop off to the Tower of London to take a peek at the Crown jewels after supper - if you stay long enough you'll get to see one of London's oldest traditions the Ceremony Of The Keys.
History and architecture buffs might want to visit Westminster Abby where you can see the remains of scientists, kings and poets who have helped shape history, or visit one of the many cathedrals and churches like St. Paul's Cathedral that offer a beautiful view of old architecture.
If you like parks, London offers some of the best gardens and parks in Europe. Regents, St. James and Hyde Park offer beautiful trails and gardens as well as outdoor activities and if you love animals then you'll want to stop at the Regent zoo. You don't want to miss the Japanese gardens at Holland Park and of course, you'll want to check out Kensington Gardens on your visit to Kensington Palace.
Covent Garden is another great place to visit London although it's not actually a garden at all. This famous London travel stop houses a wide array of shops, and theaters along with interesting street performers, restaurants and bars. Here is where you find the Royal Opera House along with many places to shop and dine.
Of course, London's outdoor markets go back centuries and include famous places to shop such as Portobello Road where the antique hunting is second to none. You might stop in and Borough market which has the atmosphere of a Moroccan bazaar and has been a thriving marketplace for over a thousand years.
Of course, no one would travel to London without visiting some of the pubs and the West End offers a large variety of establishments in a range of prices as well as cuisine. After eating, you might take in one of the many shows here which you will find rival any Broadway show and in fact many of them start here and later play in New York.

At the Tate modern, you can get your fill of famous 20th-century art including works by Matisse and Picasso.
