London: All tourist and no culture?

Living in the United Kingdom it is often difficult to think about towns, cities and places on our own shores as attractive tourist destinations. We see them everyday; be it in the news, on television dramas, in the newspapers or hear about them on the radio. They are normal to us; not exactly places that light up the imagination and send us rushing to our cars to head out. One such place is the capital city of our country; London. The Big Smoke.

We see a lot of negative press about the place daily; but when we visit we often see a lot of tourist sites extremely crowded and popular, cementing London’s global appeal. But surely there is more to London for those looking to holiday there than just the standard tourist locations; Big Ben, Windsor Palace and The London Eye? We certainly think so; go out and explore London and the city will open its doors to you. Bars, clubs, cafes, museums and the like greet your travels around the vibrant city.
