London is a city that never seems to sleep. No matter the time of day or night, all of life’s experiences can be had somewhere in the city and it has been this way since it was founded. It would be nearly impossible to fully take in all that the city has to offer in one quick trip, but with a few days’ time you can soak in several sides of this historic city. In fact, the history of London is a good place to start. The city’s history is rooted in everything from medieval times gone by to the crown jewels of the monarchy. It does not matter if you are a history buff or if you have not opened a book since elementary school social studies. London’s rich, full history is sure to interest everyone. A trip to London is not complete without a trip to the world-famous Madame Tussauds wax museum to visit the almost unsettlingly lifelike wax denizens inside. Be also sure to enter the London Dungeon to encounter the terrible dark side of the city. You will be able to see and learn about a side of London that few outside of the UK know about. Inside the Tower of London, you will discover the crown jewels and hear tales of prisons made especially for only the most important prisoners. The National Portrait Gallery brings history and art together with exhibits of portraits depicting Britain’s most famous historical figures. Plenty of small museums and art galleries are found in London’s city center that are worth a stop, so make sure to leave time in your schedule to peek your head inside. For the professional shopper, a stroll down Oxford Street is highly recommended. If the bustle of the city begins to wear on you, however, a stopover in Hyde Park brings the peace of the countryside to the city. Outdoor markets are one of London’s highlights, and you will find Portobello Market northeast of Hyde Park. London’s history does not exist only on the busiest streets. Charming side streets take the visitor to times past and to unexpected treasures such as Covent Gardens in central London. In the center of town, the London eye provides a bird’s eye view of the city and provides a comprehensive display of all that London has to offer. Once the day of sightseeing and shopping has come to a close, it is time to head to the pub with a group of friends for a couple of draughts. Once you have tipped a few back to lubricate the soul, it is time to hit one of London’s numerous dance clubs to enjoy a night of any kind of dancing imaginable. The international flair of the city encourages dancing from techno, to trance, to hip hop. Do not forget about the Latin and ethnic dancing as well as the raves. And because London features almost too many rugby and football teams to count, you can always catch a game live.
