Stadiums, West End and everything in between
London packs world-class arenas, historic theatres and festival fields into one sprawling city. Nights run late and the transport is excellent — plan around the Tube and you can catch a show anywhere from Wembley to the O2.

Insider tip in the PDFHistory
Founded by the Romans as Londinium around AD 47, London grew from a walled trading port into the capital of a global empire.
It survived the Great Fire of 1666, the Blitz of the 1940s and centuries of reinvention — layers you can still read in the streets, from medieval alleys in the City to Georgian terraces and postwar towers.
Roasted meat, Yorkshire pudding and gravy — a pub institution best booked ahead.
Battered cod and thick-cut chips; look for a busy independent 'chippy'.
A food-lover's playground of stalls near London Bridge, great before a show.
Best for West End theatre and late-night food, walkable to everything.
Bars, music venues and a younger crowd, quick Overground hops.
Handy for the O2 and quieter riverside stays.
Everything above is the teaser. The downloadable guide goes deep — the stuff locals know and first-timers miss, ready on your phone offline.
