Why you'll love it
London is Britain's capital, a city of royal palaces, world-class museums and theatre on a scale few cities can match. It gets Triptakeo's top score for culture, and scores 9 out of 10 for food and nightlife, so a week here never runs short of things to do.
The best time to visit London is May to September, with long days, parks in full use and the mildest weather. July and August are busiest. Winter is cooler and greyer, but the museums, markets and Christmas lights keep the city lively.
Many of the big museums are free, including the British Museum, the National Gallery and the Natural History Museum. Walk along the South Bank from Westminster to Tower Bridge, catch a West End show, and eat your way through Borough Market. Day trips run to Oxford, Bath and Windsor.
London suits culture lovers, food lovers, families and first-time visitors to Europe.
