"London - Europe's thrilling metropolis" London by HORSCHECK
London Travel Guide: 26,558 reviews and 43,852 photos
Since 1987 I have been to London more than 10 times for both holidays and business trips. London with an estimated population of more than 9 Mio. inhabitants is huge, exciting, multi-cultured, cosmopolitan and always worth a visit. In fact it is among my favourite cities in Europe.
It offers countless historic sights from Big Ben to the Tower of London. The newer must-see activities include the London Eye and the Tate Modern. Famous squares, markets and events don't let you feel bored. Green Parks like Hyde Park or Regent's Park invite for a relaxing rest in between a busy sightseeing day.
Last but not least London is well placed for daytrips by public transportation to the surrounding area. Among these are the royal enclave Windsor, the university town Oxford or the resorts on the English southcoast with Brighton being the most popular.
"On arrival buy a local paper and go for a drink."

Hallo Holger, vielen Dank fuer deine informativen London-Tipps! Trotz etlicher London-Besuche habe ich noch was Neues erfahren. Gruesse aus Oxford!
Hello, Holger! London is so beautiful and picturesque and your page here is so informative!... Vielen Dank!
I got quite nostalgic while reading your tips. I have been to London so many times and am just waiting to get back there. Unfortunately when I was there in 2010 I lost 500+ photos I had taken all over London.
I like your definition as well. I'm going to have to check out this British band! What are some of your favourite songs of theirs?
Glorious opening shot of London!
After I noticed how wonky the photo was, I straigtened it using my photo software and re-uploaded it. Nice London photos, I need to visit again. Best, Karl
That is a cool photo!!!! How are you? Great to see you in Macedonia!!
Wow! Great opening photo! This is a great overview of London. I must have a look at the Library for the Bill Bryson Book.
Truly outstanding London travel page. Your page certainly brings back fond memories of our several trips to London on several occasions. Tower Bridge, Royal Albert Hall and London Eye were some of our favourite attractions in the city. ~ho & pang
Next stop: London! :) I have already started reading "Notes from a small island", finding it quite nice so far.
