About London
London is the most influential financial city in the world, situated in southeastern England along the Thames River. Its abundance of museums, art galleries and theaters make it one of the world's major cultural capitals. Even so, tourist matters fall largely to the West End, the city's social and cultural center, to Soho rife with bars, clubs, and restaurants, and to South Kensington, which boasts museums and the latest trends. You'll find excellent examples of architecture from all the great periods in London.
London is a tourist center for year-round but your best chance of good weather is at the height of summer in July and August. But it's in summer that you can expect the biggest crowds and highest prices. Some of London attractions are closed or have significantly reduced their opening hours in winter. Our London guide section has details of some of the most popular attractions in London.
