Enjoy a Memorable London Vacation

Somebody mentions the word London, and no doubt a number of images come to mind: the Queen, the historic districts and rousing football and rugby matches, rich pub food and the impressive architecture of Big Ben and Buckingham Palace. Each year, thousands of tourists make London their destination for a holiday, and if you haven't been yet, now is the time to plan! With London hosting the 2012 Olympic Games, it's imperative to reserve a hotel room and get an itinerary together for a tour of Britain you'll never forget.

What's to see in London? Between sites of historic interest, upscale shops and exquisite dining, this capital city will never leave one wanting for things to do. This British metropolis boasts an active theater district featuring dramas and musicals starring some of the best known performers in the country and the world, and afterward you can relax in a pub with a pint of hard cider.

If we had to pick the top, absolute must-sees, it would have to be these...

• Buckingham Palace - The official residence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, the palace is only open for tours for a limited time each year.
  
• Tower of London - Once a prison to princes, now one of the most popular sites in the city, the Tower hearkens back to England's most dramatic times.
• Kensington Palace - Known as the last residence of Princess Diana, Kensington boasts beautiful gardens and stately architecture.
• Abbey Road - The studio bearing its name was immortalized by the Beatles, and to this day people continue to have their pictures taken crossing this famous street.
• Shakespeare's Globe Theatre - Not the original, but a faithful reproduction of where the Bard's words came to life.
• The BBC - News and programs by the British Broadcasting Corporation are seen all over the world, and when you come to London you can tour the "Beeb" yourself and watch the action!

The majesty and mystery of London awaits you. Enjoy your stay!
