The capital of cool and epicenter of eclecticism, London is just about as exciting of a city as they come. It's no wonder there's an ever-charged energy in the air when there's always a celebration of the human spirit happening in The Old Smoke – whether it’s expressed through music at myriad summer festies, performed year-round on the stages of famous West End theaters, sold at bustling street markets in distinctive neighborhoods, or captured in history at fascinating museums.
Sure, you have the London Eye, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and all the other souvenir mug classic motifs, but it's the spaces in between that are bursting with creativity in all its permutations – more than enough of the stuff to engage shoppers, foodies, history buffs, and hipsters across the board. Nip up to the Shard (or anywhere high), to really appreciate how lush and green the city is. Or if the weather's nice, park yourself at a pub on the banks of the Thames to drink in the views.
Peddling the slow life she is not – the UK capital is all about keeping pace with the world's turns. So while a handsome percentage of holidaymakers dream of sea and sand (or snow and sun), London makes a fine case for an urban exploit, come rain or shine.
