LONDON

In London, you don't have a second to lose: there are so many things to see and do that, even for those living there, the rhythm is frenetic! Capital of England and the United Kingdom, we could talk about it for hours... London encapsulates the mixing of cultures and the culture of mixing.

When we think of this city, the first things to come to mind are the Thames, London Bridge, Buckingham Palace, Mayfair, Covent Garden, Shoreditch... London is divided into numerous districts and offers magnificent green spaces such as Hyde Park, Regent's Park and Primrose Hill.

Victorian architecture rubs shoulders with colourful little mews, and modern wonders such as The Shard building rise up against a background of famous structures from yesteryear, like Westminster Abbey, the Royal Albert Hall, and Big Ben.

When we think of London, we see red double-deckers and black taxis, we hear the music of the Beatles and Rolling Stones, and imagine ourselves inside the first Hard Rock Café and Abbey Road studios.

London is Trafalgar Square and the British Museum, Wimbledon and Wembley Stadium, the West End and its plays and musicals. Not to mention Piccadilly and Oxford Circus, Harrods and Selfridges, the markets of Camden and Portobello Road, pubs and starred restaurants, luxury and boutique hotels. London is a thousand other places too, a thousand other references, a thousand new spots to discover. Above all, London is the city of possibilities. For, as Samuel Johnson said in the 18th century: "When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford."
