London, the city!

London is famous for its historic buildings, museums, shops, theatres and nightlife. So during your trip to London you won't have a single moment to be bored. There's a good reason why London attracts many tourists from all over the world every year. New attractions like the Tate Modern, the courtyard at the British Museum and the London Eye keep the city young and vital. A trip to London is full of highlights!

London's most famous districts are Kensington, Chelsea and, of course, Notting Hill and Soho. You'll find a short description of what each district has to offer below.

Kensington
Hip and trendy. It's expensive, but very pleasant to stroll through. Celebrity inhabitants of South Kensington include Elton John and Madonna. Who knows, you might even run across them at the baker.

Chelsea
Celebrated for football and shopping. This is where you'll find the King's Road: The shopping street in London, where the trendiest, most expensive and most exclusive clothing is sold. Note: Hurry past the chain stores. Nicer, sometimes even affordable shops follow.

Notting Hill
Each front door in this formerly Caribbean district is painted a different colour. It's also overflowing with the most fabulous shops. The stream of yuppies into this neighbourhood has changed certain things, but it's still one of London's liveliest and friendliest districts. Around Portobello Road, in particular, you'll find lots of lively restaurants and pubs. If you feel like Caribbean, Indian or English food, you'll certainly find it here! There's a market on Saturday, but lots of the stalls are open during the week as well.

Soho
Soho is the centre of London's nightlife. Lots of lively English pubs, movie theatres, discotheques and restaurants. It's also the centre of London's gay scene, congenially mixed with the rest of the party crowd.

You won't have enough time to do everything you want to do in London, but then you've always got an excuse to come back!
