About London

London is a great place for a night out. Whether it’s dinner and a trip to the theatre, a work function or just simply a weekend away in the city, you can’t beat it. There’s so much to do in London you’d have to Google your options, but have you considered dinner on the London Eye? or how about a trip down the river whilst having a spot of lunch? You have more restaurants than you can shake a stick at and major attractions like London Zoo, Buckingham Palace, the Ice Bar and the list really does just go on and on !

London houses about 9 million people, but don’t let that put you off in anyway at all. When you’re there, it’s busy for sure, but a good kind of busy if you know what we mean.

These days, if you want a truly happy, hassle free day or weekend away in London then plan a taxi for your return journey as part of your trip. By the end of a busy night or a full-on weekend, people are generally drained and find it a lot less stressful and safer to just jump into a taxi to get them home rather than dragging themselves through the tubes to Waterloo train station and hanging around for an uncomfortable train ride home. Then of course, you have to get back from the station assuming you don’t fall asleep and miss your stop!

Some facts about London (as of January 2022)

• There are just over 9 million people living in London
• Big Ben is not the name for the iconic tower you often see in pictures and on TV, it’s a common mistake. Big Ben is actually the name of the clock. Although many people nowadays just refer to it as Big Ben, whilst the clock was called Big Ben, the tower itself used to be called the Clock Tower.
• The city of London itself only covers about 1.2 square miles and has a population of around 7,500 residents. This means that the city of London is technically the smallest city in England. Greater London, on the other hand, is an English region ad it encompasses surrounding towns covering 606 square miles and having a population of over 9 million residents.
• London has over 170 museums
• London buses were not always red. They used to be colour coded for their individual routes. Bet you didn’t kow that one!
