The first thing that comes in to a person’s mind when in London is where to stay? Looking for a place to stay for the duration of one’s visit can be a daunting task. First step taken for this is to plan the budget. In that budget one has to find out which is the best place to stay. How far is it from all the famous tourist destinations? Is it centrally located or not? If it is not centrally located then you have problem the amount of money you will save on your lodgings in a place not located centrally will be spend to commuting.

Also not to be missed is the British Museum, with Egyptian mummies, Greek statues, and much more.

The London of today promises something for everyone. The London Eye lifts visitors high above the river into vistas that stretch tight across the fading skies. Further down on the South Bank, the Tate Modern contains one of the world's most incredible collections of Modern Art, while the city’s 30,000 stores and boutiques will exhaust even the most avid shopper, and its 6,000 restaurants are only too eager to demonstrate why Britons revere their chefs as celebrities.
