West End - London

London’s West End is an undefined area that takes up much, if not all of the London Borough of Westminster. While it would be incorrect to call the West End a London Attraction, it is true to say that it contains many leading UK attractions and top London attractions in the form of palaces, abbeys, theatres, markets, shops, nightclubs, cinemas, bridges, galleries and museums.
West End can apply to the shopping areas around Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street. West End can also be referred to as the areas of entertainment around Leicester Square and Covent Garden, with their rich reputations for theatre, cinema and nightclubbing.

Portobello Road from the Disney movie Bedknobs and Broomsticks

Portobello Road is the world’s largest antiques market, running almost the whole length of trendy Notting Hill, parallel with Ladbroke Grove. Apart from antiques and a fantastically eclectic selection of objet d’art, Portobello Road is also a top London Attraction for the panoply of second-hand clothing sold there.

But it’s not only the market that draws people to Portobello Road, but also the diverse local community that gives the area a flavour all of its own and gives life to the meandering architecture of Notting Hill, filling myriad pubs, gastro-pubs, restaurants, clubs and bars.

Portobello Road market is the ideal place to pick up a unique present for the folks back home, or find an old curiosity to add that individual touch to your home. But it’s not just about buying things, and many people simply meander up and down the market enjoying the atmosphere of one of London’s more unique institutions.

Lake District

The Lake District welcomes over 22 million visitors a year visiting 12 of the largest lakes in England and 3,500 miles of public walkways set within 885 square miles (2,292 km2) of lush mountainous territory.

Since the time of the Lake Poets – William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor-Coleridge and Robert Southey – visitors have flocked to this jewel of the British Isles that through the words of these men has come to embody the visceral link between the English people and the rolling hills and vast waters that make up the Lake District.

Whether its gently strolling around the Lakes, or clawing your way up England’s highest peaks, a visit to the Lake District will give you a quintessentially English experience that has been enjoyed by the millions who have already followed in the footsteps of Wordsworth in the hills of this majestic UK attraction that offers so much in so many different ways.

Home to works by leading lights such as Lichtenstein, Picasso, Warhol, Kapoor and Rothko, and with some of the most jaw-dropping installations of recent times in the five-storey Turbine Hall, Tate Modern is unlikely to disappoint even the most sceptical of art fans.
