The United Kingdom's capital is a thriving cosmopolitan city. A trip to London is an intriguing and exciting adventure because of the contrast between outstanding ancient landmarks and a vibrant cultural landscape. Stroll around St. James Park, pay a visit to Westminster Abbey, stroll through Shoreditch, and enjoy a boat ride up the Thames. The fantastic shopping, infinite sights, friendly residents, and exciting nightlife of London cater to all types of visitors. Here's my comprehensive London travel guide, including with all of my recommendations for arranging your trip to England!

London is one of the more expensive European capitals, so be
prepared!
Language: English is by far the most spoken language in the
city.
Currency: The British Pound, which is usually exchanged at
around 100 INR per pound.
Credit Cards and Banks: ATMs can be found on practically
every shopping street, and there are several bureau de change around the city.
Almost every retailer accepts Mastercard and Visa.

rarely reaching excessively high or low levels, though an umbrella or raincoat
should be carried at all times of the year.
Temperatures are normally a few degrees above freezing
throughout the cold season, which lasts from December to February.
Warm season: Summer temperatures are still pleasant between June and August, with highs rarely exceeding 25 degrees Celsius.
TRAVEL TIP
Because London is a large city, and all large
cities have
traffic, moving between areas can take some time.
The Underground, or "the Tube," is the greatest
way to move about London. You may even take the Tube into the city centre from
Heathrow Airport (LHR), which I recommend. It's simple to navigate and you'll
be able to see anything you want to see. Make sure to purchase an Oyster card,
which you can reload and use on the Tube as well as city buses.
Bus: Taking the city bus is a terrific way to view the
sights while getting around. Instead of worrying about exact change for the bus
fare, get an Oyster card.
Taxis: London's "black taxis" can be found all
throughout the city and operate on metre basis, however they are the most expensive
mode of transportation. A majority of them take credit cards.
The Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster
Abbey are all located in Westminster, London's tourist centre. The Strangers'
Gallery of the House of Commons allows visitors to observe the British
government in operation. The renowned Trafalgar Square is located in the centre
of Westminster. You can't miss the magnificent museums, galleries, cultural
spaces, and historic buildings.
