London Attractions
London attractions have an irresistible allure for the visitor with the old sitting comfortably beside the new as cultures come together in the vibrant streets of the West End, where visiting places of interest such as the National Gallery goes hand in hand with shopping and nightclubbing.
Boat’s can be taken up the Thames taking in many of the more important London attractions from Tower Bridge , past the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral, before alighting at Westminster Pier near the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. From here tourists can cross Westminster Bridge to take a ride on the London Eye where the thirty minute ride provides a fantastic vista of many other London attractions.
Shoppers are spoilt for choice in London’s streets where a show and a meal are the perfect way to round off a busy day. For night owls London has a mouth-watering array of clubs and bars, including EGG, Fabric and Cargo, while for those after a few laughs, the Comedy Store should prove to be just the ticket. Almost every aspect of London life is iconic, with taxis, buses, phone boxes and post boxes also seen as important London attractions.

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 London attractions in the form of palaces, abbeys, theatres, shops, nightclubs, cinemas, bridges 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.

The South Bank - London
 The South Bank is a labyrinthine creation of post-war architecture devoted to the arts, with theatre, music, painting, sculpture and even graffiti, all richly represented, making it a leading attraction for art lovers from the UK and abroad. With the Hayward Gallery, National Theatre, London Eye and nearby Tate Modern all packed into a small area of cultural density, and lavishly sprinkled with street skateboarders and an IMAX cinema, the South Bank can be a day out in itself, or with its central London location the perfect start or end to a visit to the UK’s capital.
