WELCOME TO LONDON

River city. Royal city. City of palaces and pubs, museums and monuments. Hotbed of theatre. Shopping mecca. Financial powerhouse. London is all these things and more so who could argue when we say that its the worlds most exciting metropolis? With Eyewitness Top 10 London, its yours to explore.

We love London: the culture, the chaos, the noise. What could be better than strolling along the cobbled streets of Covent Garden, sipping a cocktail in a rooftop bar, sailing along the Thames between the Houses of Parliament and Tate Modern, browsing the cutting-edge boutiques of Spitalfields and scouting the stalls for a bargain or time-travelling back to Shakespeares England, standing rapt among the crowds at the Globe Theatre? Its all here, packed into a few square miles of the worlds most energetic streetscape.

This city is a cultural colossus, boasting the worlds busiest theatre district, a bar or restaurant on every corner, and a packed calendar of eye-catching ceremonies and festivals, from Trooping the Colour to the Notting Hill Carnival. It does history and pageantry like nowhere else, but we think its also the most cosmopolitan city on Earth. Home to 300 languages, its a modern-day Babel, where every neighbourhood has its own vibrancy and verve.

Whether youre coming for a weekend or a week, our Top 10 guide brings together the best of everything that London can offer, from hip Hoxton to sophisticated St Jamess. The guide has useful tips throughout, from seeking out whats free to avoiding the crowds, plus 13 easy-to-follow itineraries, designed to tie together a clutch of sights in a short space of time. Add inspiring photography and detailed maps, and youve got the essential pocket-sized travel companion. Enjoy the book, and enjoy London.
