As Samuel Johnson so brilliantly said:
"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.
A fast-paced, vibrant, multicultural melting-pot, London is a big old place and its possibilities are unlimited.
One of the world’s truly great cities, London has indeed something for everyone: from legendary sights to an array of beautiful parks, there is plenty to explore.
London is an endlessly attractive city rich in contrast: old and new rub together; from the historic Houses of Parliament to the cutting-edge height of the Shard; from exclusive Knightsbridge to edgier Shoreditch.
Flavours from around the world, eclectic music, great art and legendary sporting venues to fabulous fashion and much, much more...can you hear LONDON CALLING?!
