UK Vacation Bestsellers: Discover the Best of London

Updated: Nov 19

London Overview

London, the capital of England and the United Kingdom has a history dating back to Roman times. The Romans founded the city of Londinium in 43AD.

 

Although it dates back to the Roman era, the city is much modernized after having been almost totally destroyed and rebuilt twice. First it was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1966, and then later during the bombings of WW2.

 

Despite these events, the city has managed to retain its medieval boundaries.

 

The most outstanding landmarks must be the impressive Houses of Parliament, awesome clock tower of Big Ben, and the iconic Westminster Abbey, site of the British monarch coronations.

 

The storied Tower of London, majestic Westminster Palace and magnificent Kew Gardens are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The city’s diversity makes it one of the biggest multi-cultural communities in the world.
