Your Guide for Visiting London
London is an iconic destination with roots going back 4,500+ years, yet much of what you see today started under William the Conqueror in the 11th century. This historic city has countless attractions that are must-visit locations such as the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, the Shard, Borough Market, Buckingham Palace, Kensington Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and much more.
Just a couple hours from London you’ll find Windsor Castle, Stonehenge, and the city of Bath. All of these are breathtaking sites that connect you with our ancestors from the Bronze Era to ancient Romans to the current English monarchy.

Below are some articles to help you understand how to make the most of your trip from where to stay in the city (it’s huge) to what to do and where to eat. Then you can start reserving tours and activities that will elevate your trip and add much-needed structure.
