IMAGE OF LONDON IN THE EVENING BY HENRY BE @enrico.bet
London is the largest city in Europe and the capital of England.
It has a special cosmopolitan buzz, with a mixture of wealth and poverty, many imposing buildings and elegant shops, world-class theatre and incredible nightclubs……and shopping!
Sights not to be missed include Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery, Covent Garden, the British Museum and the Tower of London.
The Tower of London is one of the world’s most famous fortresses and has seen service as royal palace, prison, armoury and even a zoo.
The ancient stones reverberate with dark secrets, priceless jewels glint in fortified vaults and pampered ravens strut the grounds.
Experience the glory of St. Paul’s Cathedral and see how it’s iconic dome dominates the London skyline. Built between 1675 and 1710, the catherdral has gone through a £40 million program of cleaning and repair work for its 300th anniversary and the work has transformed the exterior and interior of the building.
One the most impressive structures and sites in the capital, the Tower Bridge of London, has stood over the River Thames since 1894 and is one of the most recognizable landmarks in the world.
The Churchill War Rooms are dedicated to the life of the ‘greatest Briton’, Sir Winston Churchill, and the secret underground headquarters that were the nerve centre of Britain’s war effort.
The London Bridge Experience is a two-part tourist attraction situated within the arches of London Bridge. It has twice won ‘Best Year Round Scare Attraction’ at the Screamie awards!

The Borough Market
STORY BY BEYOND CONTENT, 2018
Borough Market is London’s most renowned food market; a source of exceptional British and international produce.
It is a haven for anybody who cares about the quality and provenance of the food they eat - chefs, restaurateurs, passionate amateur cooks and people who just happen to love eating and drinking.
The Borough Market’s annual Apple Day has had an exciting make-over as the 1,000 year old market transformed its traditional apple display into a shiny, white modern setting – creating the first ‘real’ apple store.
To celebrate the launch of the seasonal harvest and to remind shoppers of its millennium birthday, Borough brought together the biggest ever collection of the nation’s favourite fruit in the exhibition of 1000 oldest, rarest and most loved British apple varieties.

The world’s oldest known apple, Court Pendu Plat, which was introduced by the Romans and still flourishes today, was displayed in a prestigious Perspex box whilst 999 other varieties were presented on sleek white plinths and shelving units.
Varieties included the Ananas Reinette with its distinct pineapple flavour, the unattractive Knobby Russet which, covered in knobbles, shows beauty is in the eye of the beholder with its strong, firm but delicious flesh, the Robston Pippin, a favourite of Charles Dickens, and the Victorian Adams Pearmain which recalls a bygone era with its autumnal colouring.

Visiting London and trying to find the right accommodation can be daunting and stressful, whether you are coming from the other side of the world or just another part of the country.
With an influx of holiday scams circulating the internet, it is increasingly difficult to find a great place to stay, that isn’t one of the main commercial hotel chains, without fear of turning up to a dinghy, smelly room or being scammed out of your holiday funds.
