With such a huge and culturally diverse city just a short trip away it’s definitely worth a visit to London. It's a capital city so naturally there’s so much to see, do and enjoy that it can be difficult to know where to start; to help you choose we’ve assembled a few of our favourites .

Eating and Drinking

London has everything you could want when it comes to food and drink but it’s easy to get a little overwhelmed by all the choice. Rather than the usual chains it’s worth heading to particular areas for speciality dishes.

Brick Lane is the place for all things Bengali and Stoke Newington is a Turkish haven. If you’re looking for a top-notch curry then Southall will take some beating. So, take you're pick and tuck into some fabulous food.

Shopping

There’s a jungle of retail in London and Oxford Street is at it’s heart. Add Westfield to the equation and you’ll find all the high street names you know and love.

Alternatively for the most famous shop in the world head to Knightsbridge and experience the magnificent Harrods in all its glory.

Another option is the iconic Portobello Road is a trendy alternative to the standard high street shops where there are plenty of vintage fashion, antiques and jewellery to be had.
