London Attractions

London is full of attractions for the South African traveller. You’ll even get a thrill just walking around this sprawling, beautiful city. Some of the must see parts of this global hub include the London Eye, the shopping district around Leicester Square and Covent Garden, Tower Bridge and the famed Camden Market.

For culturists, a visit to London is not complete without taking in a show in the West End. A day spent at one of the city’s many galleries is a must. The British Museum and the Tate Modern have long been favourites and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre is just a short walk from the Tate. Be sure to stopover at Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guard ceremony or take a guided tour of the Palace with a reputable tour operator.

Different things to do in London

If you’re after something completely different then the Boat Races should be on your agenda. Taking place annually in April/March, the boat races are one of the great London events and create a festive atmosphere on the banks of the River Thames. Try watching it from The Old Ship in Hammersmith (W6). This iconic pub is perfectly positioned on the Thames to watch the race from and they serve tasty roasts with a home cooked feel as wells the best Guinness pints.

London is fantastic for sports enthusiasts and the city is home to a host of traditional football clubs. Chelsea Football Club, Tottenham Hotspur, Fulham and Arsenal are just a few of the major established football clubs based in the city. Finally, you have to take in a few of the traditional English pubs along the way – Waxy o Connor’s is a great one. A walk along the Southbank next to the Thames culminating in one of London’s beautiful inner city parks should complete your experience.
