Search London Hotels

As Dr. Samuel Johnson said, “when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford”. London is a city that represents all things British; red buses, tea, scones and who can forget the vibrant social scene. With that said, it’s also one of the most multicultural cities in the world (there are more than 300 languages spoken in London, that’s more than any other city in the world). A city that caters for all, there is plenty of great value budget accommodation and of course famous lavish 5-star hotels and everything in between.

A Clash of Cutting Edge & Classic

If its fashion, fun and a wealth of things to see and do you’re seeking, there are few cities in the world that can offer you quite as much as London.

You can relax in comfort and rest up for the big nights which will follow your packed days whilst experiencing the very quaint and British way of life.

Treat Yourself

If you’ve seeking some glitz and glam to add to your cultural activities, London has it all. The nightlife is like no other and you’ll find plenty to do in the west end if you are seeking something exclusive and luxurious. And for those of you who want something alternative, hit the east end with its quirky pubs, clubs and live music in abundance.

Foodie Paradise

In terms of food and drink, yes, you’ve guessed correctly, like most things, London does it like no one else. If London ranks amongst the best capital cities in the world then Soho is London’s very own food capital. Otherwise there's the artisan delights from Borough Market or some of the finest curry you’re going to find outside of Asia on East London's Brick Lane.

London eludes definition. A place of extremes and contradictions, it has transformed from robustly English capital to truly multicultural city. Having experienced Renaissance, revolution, and revival, and survived fire, plague, and war, the city has a pretty interesting history, the best of which it holds on to. Visit its monuments and museums and you'll come across ancient and modern London, and learn about its wealth, poverty, ambitions, reality, and make-believe. From the Tower of London to Buckingham Palace, the major monuments pull in the crowds, but make sure you take some time to explore its back alleys, quiet squares, and colourful markets.

Art in the City

As red buses, black cabs, and pigeons encircle Trafalgar Square, there is no mistaking where you are. Stop by the National Gallery to look at some of the world's finest artworks, ranging from Leonardo's meticulous sketches to Turner's chromatic landscapes, or for a fix of modern art, visit the converted Bankside Power Station, the Tate Modern. The gallery covers art from 1900 to the present day, and its enormous Turbine Hall displays specially commissioned works.

Razzmatazz and All That Jazz
