33) Paris Day Trip London Overview London. Just saying the name
conjures up an array of iconic images: Big Ben, the London Bridge,
Buckingham Palace, the London Underground, and more. The 2012
Summer Olympics represent the third time it has been selected for
the Olympics and with good reason: it seems everywhere you look in
the nearly 2,000-year-old city there is something new to see. Noted
essayist and literary critic of the eighteenth century Dr. Samuel
Johnson had this to say about London: "Sir, if you wish to have a
just notion of the magnitude of this city, you must not be
satisfied with seeing its great streets and squares, but must
survey the innumerable little lanes and courts." While this may not
be everyone's opinion of this capital city, it certainly
illustrates how much London has to offer both seasoned travelers
and first-time visitors. Located in the southeast corner of Great
Britain, Greater London covers an area of 1,579 square kilometers,
but it is relatively easy to navigate via the Underground, also
known as "the tube." The city hosts a wide variety of things to see
and do, including many kid-friendly and free options. To get an
idea of the true London, pop into a corner pub or take in a
football match, just don't be caught calling it soccer Since you
are in London, where the weather can change drastically in a
moment, take an umbrella and jacket on every outing. Come to
explore the past, revel in the present, and peek at the future, but
be sure to "mind the gap" London is a universal city home to a vast
array of people from various cultures, many of whom came to avoid
persecution elsewhere. It is an intriguing blend of ancient
history, modern sensibilities, and promise for the future. Advances
in art, architecture, science, politics, and religion all have root
in London's history. A trip to London can satisfy anyone,
regardless of age, nationality, or interest. This city is the only
place in the world where you can walk in the footsteps of a Roman
emperor, kings and queens, famous authors, and modern pop icons all
before afternoon tea. With an illustrious history rooted in the
past and one hand always reaching for the future, London keeps
reinventing herself.
