Sprawling city, both temple of classicism in English and ultra trendy, business and avantgarde kingdom, London is more than a city, it is a universe! Center of European capitalism, home of all cultural experiments, London is an elusive city, a mosaic of districts and the queen of allparadoxes. Must sees in London are: Piccadilly Circus, London Eye; for a panoramic view of the city, Hyde Park; for a moment of rest. For shopping, visit Harrods or Oxford Street, for designers and haute couture, New Bond Street is a must. The main tourist attractions: the London Bridge, Big Ben, takes a cruise on the Thames; see the Parliament, the Royal Palace, St. James Park, the British Museum and many more!
