London
London is the capital of England, and has something to offer everyone – engrossing museums and art galleries, majestic stately houses, tranquil green parks and a zoo and great shopping centres with all the major stores, specialist shops and markets.
The Royal Family have their main residence in London, at Buckingham Palace, but there are many other interesting houses to visit within London that relate to the Royal connections ,such as The Hampton Court Palace, The Tower of London, and Regents Park, an ancient Royal hunting park. The Tower of London has a whole day’s worth of things to see just in itself – there are the White, Bloody and Martin Towers, where prisoners were held and often tortured, there are the Crown Jewels, displayed in a specially built jewel house, and don’t forget the Ravens, without whom the White Tower would supposedly fall, and a great disaster befall the Kingdom. This proves that there is a lot history in London. London is basically suitable for all people.
Entertainment
There is no shortage of evening entertainment; The West End is popular for its shows and musicals. It has, a wide selection of restaurants of all types, classical music at the Barbican or The London Coliseum, ballet at Sadler’s Wells or the cinemas in Leicester Square to choose from.
