With over seven million people, three hundred languages and 500,000 years of history, you’ll never be short of things to do in London. 

You can never have too many London weekend breaks. This is a city full of secrets and surprises, and in a city packed with museums, art galleries, theatres and historic buildings, it’s sometimes difficult to know what to do first!

Watching the city spread out before you as you are gently lifted over London on the Millennium Wheel, or watching the pomp and ceremony of the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace are experiences not to be missed, but where should you go if you’re trying to get off the beaten track?
