No city in the world is quite like London. At once historic and cutting edge, stately and scandalous, hoity-toity and low-brow, gritty and manicured, the teeming British capital has such a complex (some might say split) personality that it almost defies description. Buttoned-up charm and regal history mingle easily with modern verve in this sprawling metropolis, home to world-class theater, wildly diverse cuisine, and a very large clock tower.
For the burgeoning art scene, interesting museums, edgy music scene, array of cultures, historic sights, and crowded streets, as well as to experience an atmosphere like nowhere else in Europe.
