Tip: Read our London Sightseeing Top Tips!

Millions of visitors from around the globe attest to the continuing popularity of shopping at Harrods’s, shivering in historic contemplation at the Tower of London or recalling childhood nursery rhymes at the site of London Bridge touring Buckingham Palace and the Parliament building, and reliving the glories of the British Empire while enjoying the animals of the London Zoo.

Evenings begin with dinners at restaurants found in dozens of ethnic neighborhoods across London.

They then continue with an evening at the theatre or the London Symphony, and a late evening stop in a neighborhood “public house” for a refresher before the last bell sounds.

Dozens of guided and self-guided tours emanate from London to the surrounding countryside to destinations such as Greenwich Observatory, Stratford-on-Avon and farther on to western England, Scotland and Wales.

Many visitors also plan a quick round-trip on the "Chunnel", the undersea tube connecting England with France. And no visit to London would be complete without a ride on the famous "double-decker" buses.

It would take a lifetime to see everything that London has to offer ... perhaps that’s why no many visitors regard their trip to London as a "once in a lifetime experience".

Once you visit this "Queen of all cities", you may agree!

London Backpassage Walks takes place:
