London is located in the southeast of England. London has excellent links with the rest of the UK by rail, air and coach. It has easy connections to Europe like with Euro star train you can directly go to Paris.

London is a big city and the number of tourist spots is so huge and so entertaining that person start thinking that he should spend more time in London.For those who are visiting for the very first time, the most important place to visit is the great historical places like Houses of Parliament. You cannot see the whole house but some portions of it. Second world famous clock Big Ben and the Westminster Abbey.

The Tower of London is another most beautiful place to visit. Near Tower Bridge you can also see the Crown Jewels. Continuing the journey, Buckingham Palace, the residence of the Queen of London is open to the public. After a short walk you can see St James's Park from the central bridge. Whitehall is the centre of government. You can't walk towards the home of the Prime Minister but you can have a good view of this famous residence.
