London Dreams – London Tours and Travel Information

If you’re thinking about moving to London, perhaps to study, or to live and work, then you might already have decided whether or not it’s for you. If you’re still undecided, here’s what you need to think about.

1. London is the capital city of England, and has a lot of rich and varied history. As well as the museums, galleries and monuments, there’s lots of culture from the many influences and people from all over the world who live in this incredible city.

2. There’s always something going on here. From the many festivals and cultural events to the exhibitions and conferences, you’re bound to find plenty to keep you entertained, no matter what your interests and hobbies are.

3. London is well known for it’s sports teams, and whether you’re a fan of football, boxing, rugby, tennis, athletics, or any sport, you’ll find that you can watch or participate in it in London. With the 2012 Olympics in London only a couple of years away, if you’re a keen athlete, it might not be too late to see if you can make it into the Olympic team by being in London.

4. The entertainment and nightlife in London is legendary the world over. From the theatre of the west end, the concerts at the many music venues, and the famous nightclubs, to the street performers in Covent Garden, and elsewhere, if you’re a fan of the arts, then you’ll definitely want to live in London.

5. London is also arguably the business capital of the world. With many international companies having their UK base in London, and many businesses choosing to locate to London, it’s not hard to see why. With so many financial companies and service sector businesses, as well as travel, music, film, publishing, digital media and many more industries here, it’s not surprising that so many companies want to be in the capital.

6. London is easy to get round, thanks to the underground. Many people who live here don’t own a car, as it’s far easy to get around by tube, or by bike. If you want to do your bit for the environment and reduce your carbon footprint, perhaps you’ll take the tube. For those times when you do need to travel further afield, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead and Luton airports are easy to get to, and there is a comprehensive train and motorway network too.

7. London is well known for having some of the best restaurants and most exciting chefs in the world. Whilst in previous years, those in the know thought that English food was nothing to get excited about, new chefs, redesigned restaurants and fresh local and adventurous ingredients mean that London restaurants are some of the most respected, and reservations are hard to come by.
