Summer Days Out In London

The UK's bustling and diverse capital truly offers something to everyone

, whether you're looking for attractions to please all the family or to satisfy a niche craving to discover the past and present of the world's most visited city.

It's easy to see why London draws so many visitors each year, and the summer season can be the perfect time to visit the capital, when colourful festivals take to the streets and many of the city's most exquisite buildings and stately homes open their doors to visitors for a limited time.

Whether you're visiting London for the first time or hoping to immerse yourself in the best the city has to offer, the sheer number of attractions and experiences on offer can be daunting at first. One effective way to see the sights of the city is to head to the South Bank and take a spin on the London Eye, the UK's most popular paid-for visitor attraction that offers a stunning panoramic view of the city that can help immensely in getting your bearings and planning your break in the historic metropolis.

If you're keen to sample London's cultural offerings, you should be pleased to learn that many of its most popular destinations are free of charge, including the world-famous British Museum, home to numerous artefacts from across the nation and overseas, and galleries such as the Tate Modern. Located within walking distance of the London Eye, this museum of modern art can be an eye-opening experience, with its challenging contemporary exhibits sparking debate and occasional outrage among art connoisseurs.

A popular family attraction that's also close to the London Eye is the London Aquarium, housing a diverse array of marine species from around the world to enthral visitors young and old - including mighty sharks. Find even more creatures from around the world in London Zoo, one of the country's leading zoological gardens where you can see everything from big cats to tropical birds, and enjoy seasonal events throughout the summer.

Heading across the River Thames can take you to another of London's most enduringly appealing attractions, the Tower of London, which complements the award-winning London Dungeon as destinations for a macabre visit to the city - always a popular theme with younger visitors. Wherever you're staying in the sprawling capital, you can find London hotels within easy reach of all the top attractions, as well as offering convenient access to the London Underground network.
