London is 2,000 years old, first settled by the Romans, but it is also a throughly modern city as well and often I think it is this combination of the old and the new which makes London so fascinating. An old church next to a modern tall building is not an unusual sight in London. London’s history is so tangible there’s always something with a story to tell right around the corner. As your guide I will help you to explore, on a London walking tour, the special areas of London filled with tra

I might be biased but I don’t think any nationality does pageantry as well as the British! There’s the chance to see it regularly at the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, Horseguards or Windsor Castle.

I also recommend the Victoria and Albert Museum, one of the best for art and design, 2000 years of human creativity in virtually every medium for all over the world. For art there is the National Gallery, western European art from 1250s to early 1900s and Tate Britain which houses British art from 1500s to present day and the Courtauld Collection wi

London is one of the great theatre capitals of the world, the number and variety of productions and the quality of acting, musical theatre and directing is unrivalled. There’s a choice of around 40 different shows every night. See a Shakespeare play at The reconstructed Globe Theatre or a musical in the West End. There’s opera in the original language at Royal Opera House Covent Garden or in English at the Coliseum and the Royal Ballet also performs at the Opera House. There are classical co
