Good ol’ London Town… the capital and largest city in the United Kingdom is a bustling, multicultural community, and a trendy, central European hub for all things art, culture, music and fashion! Home to the Queen, James Bond, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey, there’s no shortage of sights to see, places to visit and things to do in London. We’ve tabled a few of our favorites below – don’t miss them next time you’re in town!
Sip Prohibition Tea at Quaglino’s

Founded all the way back in the 1920s, Quaglino’s is the first public restaurant ever visited by Queen Elizabeth II (or any British monarch, for that matter). This upscale eatery offers a different kind of afternoon tea. Accompany Quaglino’s classic savory scones and delectable sandwiches with their fine assortment of cocktails.
Shop ‘til you drop

London is an amazing shopping destination. If you like department stores, you’re in retail heaven! Street shopping in Knightsbridge, Oxford Street and Regent Street is incredible. Drop into Harrods, or check out flagship stores of designer names like Gucci and Jimmy Choo!

A vibrant, multicultural city, London is known for its delectable Indian cuisine. Located near the National Gallery, Lotus offers an excellent and affordable set lunch that includes items such as its iconic masala prawns and lamb chops.
Catch a football game at Pavilion End

There’s nothing more British than watching a football (or soccer) match over a few beers in a busy pub. We like Pavilion End due to its great location, fabulous facilities, and reasonable prices.
