London- A city born since Roman times and increasing its shine with each passing day. It is a major financial centre and one of the richest city in the world with GDP over 731 billion USD. Such richness and royalty have made London an expensive place to be in, let alone the dream of living here without breaking the bank. But it is all worth it when the unique experiences here are taken into consideration. And for this exact reason, it is frequented by a whopping 20 million tourists approximately every year. Primarily known for its heritage and history, London has well adopted the modernity. Thus London lures people of every generation towards it and gives them the time of their life. The crowd here is very fast-paced as the requirements are high to make both ends meet. On the positive side, watching people earning money from side gigs on subway shows the value of time, money and life. Still, they haven't forgotten to smile and that it is necessary to enjoy moments as well, making the nightlife even more vibrant. London may not be polished from all sides, but it does glow brightly.
As said earlier, more than 20 million tourists lay their foot in London every year. The best time depends on what you consider "best". Being an expensive city, a lot of tourists wishes to not make a huge dent in their savings to explore it. Contrary to that, some also have pleasant weather as their top priority. What's great here is that Summer is not much hot and Winter is also bearable, especially for the ones coming from snow falling destinations. And the frequently believed notion of London being a love of Rain God is also wrong. For those seeking a loveable London weather, March to May is the ideal time. But the surge in fares and rent during that time is inevitable. The ones having financial constraints, September and October are more likely to give you the green signal.
Being a huge city, the offerings are also wide. London has done a splendid job in keeping its heritage still being the biggest attractor of tourists, despite the prevailing modernity. This can be established from the fact that here lies around 240 museums and galleries. So expect a 360-degree experience from London with its main attractions being:- 1. Shoreditch- best area in London to spend the whole night partying hard. It is filled with innovatively themed bars and restaurants. 2. Thames Cruise- Experience London and its iconic structures while sailing along with the Thames. Romantic dinner is a cherry on top. 3. Baker Street- Yes, its the same street where Sherlock lives. Visit Sherlock's museum, Madame Tussauds, beautiful gardens and much more. 4. London Eye- The giant wheel at the banks of the Thames river is one of the highlights of London. 5. Buckingham Palace- British Royal family's home is partly open for you to be amazed by its sheer beauty. But don't forget to have a look at guards changing the duty. 6. Big Ben- One of the most accurate clocks in the world, the bell it posses guides the whole of London. It was opened in 1859 and designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987.
