Millions of visitors from around the globe can attest to the continuing popularity of shopping at Harrods, visiting the Tower of London, seeing London Bridge, and touring Buckingham Palace and the Parliament building. Relive the glory days of the vast expanse of the British Empire, while enjoying the animals native to those regions at the London Zoo. Spend a day strolling through the British Museum and marveling at some of its 6 million exhibited items; tour Westminster Abbey, and the Royal parks and gardens.

Evenings begin with dinners at fabulous restaurants found in dozens of ethnic neighborhoods across London and continue with an evening at the theatre or the London Symphony and perhaps a late night stop in a neighborhood pub for a snack and a local brew before the last bell sounds.

Numerous guided and self-guided tours emanate from London to the surrounding countryside, serving destinations such as Greenwich Observatory, Stratford-on-Avon and farther on to western England, Scotland, and Wales. Many visitors also plan a quick round-trip on the "Chunnel", the undersea rail service connecting England with France. No visit to London would be complete without a ride on the famous "double-decker" buses.

The Princess Diana Memorial Walk charts a 7-mile path that links a number of London's parks. It begins in Kensington Gardens and continues through Hyde Park, Green Park and St. James' Park, taking in Spencer House and Buckingham Palace along the way.

It would take a lifetime to see everything that London has to offer. Perhaps that is why so many visitors regard each trip to London as a "once in a lifetime experience" and return often to continue their explorations of its many facets.
