London offers some of the most iconic attractions in the world ranging from museums (Tate Modern, British Museum) to historic landmarks (Nelson’s Column, Big Ben) to royal residences (Buckingham Palace, Tower of London), and that’s barely scratching the surface. The square mile of the inner city is a mecca for retail shopping with institutions such as Harrods and the Oxford Street district as well as world-famous parks such as Regents Park, Hyde Park and Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, not to mention the multitude of bars and restaurants or its vibrant nightlife scene. One of the great things about London is the ease with which you can navigate the city by foot or by public transport. In fact, public transport is the cheapest option for travelling within the square mile and throughout the greater metro area beyond.
