General Information

London - one of the world’s top conference cities. London, as one of the oldest and most exciting capital cities of the world, offers a rich choice of things to do and for most people the dilemma is how to fit so much into so little time.

For Royal enthusiasts there is Buckingham Palace with the Queen's personal Art Collection and the Royal Mews with her working horses and state coaches. There is also the Tower of London and the Crown Jewels to name but a few.

There are many famous museums, some of which have new displays, such as the glass display gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the auditorium (with foreign language translation) at the London Planetarium and the Museum of London’s Pre-historic Gallery. There are many Art Galleries including the spectacular ‘Tate Modern’.

The Capital is brimming with everything from huge department stores to tiny specialist shops and for relaxing there are many beautiful parks and gardens.

For further information on what London has to offer the London Tourist Board will be pleased to help. They can be contacted at:
