London has some of the world’s best sights, attractions and activities. With so much to do, it’s hard to narrow down the long list of reasons to move to the City, but below you’ll find our top 5.
1. Free museums and art galleries
National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, Tate Modern and Britain, Saatchi Gallery, V&A – there is no shortage of art galleries in this city displaying Picasso, Manet, Dali and more legendary artists. And what’s even more amazing, most of these galleries and museums are free. London can be expensive, but it doesn’t have to be!

Oxford Street – high street brands
Portobello Road Market – Antiques market
Borough Market – Farmers Market
Camden Market – Alternative fashion

3. Traditional English Pub Scene
It’s impossible to imagine a London without pubs and there are few more quintessentially English experiences than supping a pint of ale in a centuries-old public house, where the walls could tell you stories. London is awash with such places, some of our favourite include:

The Mayflower – 117 Rotherhithe Street SE16
Sir Richard Steele – 97 Haverstock Hill NW3
Greenwich Union – 56 Royal Hill SE10
The Earl Ferrers – 22 Ellora Road SW16

4. Driest place in England

5. Urban parks
Whether it is a perfectly trimmed rose garden or a wild forest, this city knows how to help people escape the hustle of the city, if even for just a stroll. Enjoy the dry climate by spending a free afternoon relaxing in;
