Having it all is most definitely a good thing but it can also be somewhat overwhelming – where to start? London has so much to offer, for all tastes, budgets and cultural persuasions.

There is proper (grisly) history, statement buildings old and new, and world-class museums housed in jaw-dropping architecture. There are wonderful parks dotted, peacefully, throughout the city, markets galore, a thriving culinary scene spanning street food, fine dining and global cuisine that rivals any city in the world. It’s also a centre for fashion, art and music.
