City break to London

City breaks can be a great way to get away from it all for a weekend or even just over night. Chances are, if you only have a few days you will probably not want to spend too much time travelling to your destination. London is the capital of England, and has a lot to offer to people of all ages. Prices are more expensive in the capital from food and drink to the cost of a hotel, but you often don’t have to go far once you are there to have some fun. If you do decide to travel, the cheapest options are either the Tube or buses that literally run every few minutes.

Whilst on holiday in London, there are a few places that you should try and visit. South Bank is an eye-catching riverside stretch centrally located minutes from Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and The Houses of Parliament. The area is easily accessed by public transport and car parking, and is the perfect place to explore on foot. It is also home to the London eye and has mimes, comedy acts and performers there all year round.
