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. 

Whether you know the capital well or are visiting for the first time, this is a city full of secrets and surprises, but in a city packed with museums, art galleries, theatres and historic buildings, it’s sometimes difficult to know where to begin! 

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?
