Vibrant and noisy, London is one of the world’s leading cities, an international capital of culture, education, fashion, music, finance, trade, and politics.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Tower of London and Buckingham Palace. Take a break from the city and head to The Big Cat Sanctuary and Imperial Bird of Prey Academy. Get out of town with these interesting London side-trips: Hawk Conservancy Trust (in Weyhill) and Boydells Dairy Farm (in Wethersfield). There's lots more to do: admire the masterpieces at National Gallery, brush up on your military savvy at Churchill War Rooms, don't miss a visit to Big Ben, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Westminster Abbey.
