Founded by the Romans in 47 AD, London has risen to become one of the most electrifying, culturally diverse, and enthralling cities on the planet. Capital of the UK, it’s a global city, a centre for banking and trade, and the nerve-gathering place of British politics and economics. London is a city where you can shop till you drop, go sightseeing for days on end, enjoy the height of haute cuisine, and relax in luxury accommodations, from penthouse apartments to private townhouses.
Central London is home to the most iconic buildings of all. Go there to spy out the great Neo-Gothic spires of Big Ben, the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral, the haunting – and haunted! – keeps of the Tower of London and the sombre halls of Westminster Abbey, to name but a few. These are more than just landmarks; they’re locations etched into the annals of European history, having witnessed the coronations of kings and queens, the comings and goings of political leaders, the Blitz, and more.
Be sure to set aside some time for the museums. London has some of the richest collections in the world, from the priceless ancient relics and marbles of The British Museum to the dinosaur skeletons and space exhibits of the Natural History Museum to the striking canvasses and sculptures of the TATE Modern.
When you are finally done with all the culture, life fizzes around every corner of London. Head to Mayfair to shop for tailored suits on Savile Row or designer couture on Bond Street. Pick Soho for finely mixed cocktails in chic Art Deco lounges. Delve into Borough Market to devour Greek mezze and Neapolitan pizza. Or, make for Camden to find gritty punk bazaars and rock clubs.
Finally, no mention of London could be complete without a nod to its vast parks. You can enjoy a Champagne picnic on the grassy lawns of Hyde Park, hear the roar of the Lord’s cricket terraces from Regent’s Park, or escape to a land of wild ponds and rough forests in Hampstead.
To experience all this and more, explore our collection of luxury apartments and private residences in London, offering a memorable escape to the vibrant capital.
