London - Highlights
London looks huge as you gracefully climb the sky in your London Eye pod but many of the best attractions cluster in the centre.
Head for South Kensington's cultural mile, home to dinosaur fossils at the Natural History Museum, technical wizardry at the Science Museum and samurai swords and centuries of style at the Victoria & Albert Museum.
Along the silver Thames, you can find the Tate Modern and the turreted Tower of London. You can spend a whole day with the Elgin marbles, mummies and ancient treasures of the British Museum (near café-lined Covent Garden) or pick your favourite Old Master at the National Gallery on Trafalgar Square.
Permanent collections at the major museums are free – from the stylish Victoria & Albert Museum to the British Museum and National Gallery. Many museums open late on some nights, including the British Museum, Tate Modern and the National Gallery. Check their opening hours if you're a night owl.
