Well, which London would you like? The historic city with The Tower built by William the Conqueror and 1,000 year-old Westminster Abbey? Pomp and pageantry, with Trooping the Colour (June) or Changing the Guard at Buckingham Palace (Royal Standard flying – the Queen’s in residence)? Cultural London? Three major concert halls, the National plus West End theatres, and now the unique Shakespeare’s Globe. Business London? Even those with no interest in finance find the modernistic architecture of the new ‘City’ exciting. River London, perhaps? Get a glimpse of all - the Thames is the reason for London’s existence and you can see many aspects from the plentiful boat trips (with mostly accurate commentaries). Go east to Greenwich which measures the world, west to Hampton Court and Windsor, plus the well-known bridges along the way. Visit in 2012 for the London Olympics – or any time at all for the most complete city in the world.
