London is serviced by six international airports making it one of the most accessible cities in the world. You can fly direct into London from a vast number of destinations however some flights from further afield may fly via Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid or Frankfurt, all around an hour hop from London. All of the airports are connected to central London with public transport options making it quick and easy to get around. London is also very well connected to the rest of the UK via rail and road with some high speed rail routes reducing journey times into London.

London has a wide range of hotel options from big name chains of the Hilton and Marriott, to small luxury boutiques including Ham Yard Hotel and The Ned. For the ultimate splurge book a room at one of the capital’s most famous hotels – The Savoy, The Dorchester or The Ritz. Cheaper accommodation is easier to find a little way out of the centre of London, and you can easily travel back into the city on the underground.

There are thousands of restaurants to choose from in London including 70 Michelin star establishments alongside some amazing cheap eats. Cuisine-wise there are options from all over the globe with various vibes and price ranges, making it hard to pick a favourite. Try not to eat near tourist areas to avoid overpaying for a distinctly average meal, the only exception to this is in the West End where you can pick up great value pre-theatre menus. Make sure to book ahead as the best restaurants are always booked out!
