Short Breaks in London
For anyone looking to enjoy a short break in England’s capital city can be assured of many wonderful things to see and do. London is the perfect setting for family breaks, romantic getaways or just quick breaks for those wanting to do something just a little different.
History buffs are likely to enjoy such tourist sites as the Tower of London, and taking in the ‘Ripper Walks’ in the Whitechapel area of the city. For those who like a little culture there are many art galleries and museums to pass away the time.
There are also several companies that offer a London hotel and show package, so for those who love theatre shows such as Phantom of the Opera and Les Miserables, these can often be enjoyed at discount prices.
Book in for lunch at The Ivy for a chance to rub shoulders with the rich and famous clientele who often frequent the restaurant. Romantic river boat cruises along the Thames should also be on the top of any traveller’s list as this is a great way to see famous sights such as the House of Commons and Big Ben.
And of course London is a shopper’s delight. There are many hotels in London located in the centre of the city. These are ideal for shopping trips to Oxford Street, and of course the ultimate London shop, Harrods.
Taking a trip on the London Eye is an ideal photo opportunity and on a clear day it is possible to see for miles across the city.
