WELCOME TO LONDON!

What if the “British” London is getting “americanised”?

London, the city of culture, cultures and acculturation. With four world heritage sites, the historic settlement of Greenwich, numerous and famous landmarks, together with lots of cultural institutions and more than 300 languages spoken within its boundaries, London is almost the centre of the world.

Among its streets of noise, people and history here are some places you can miss:

The Tower of London – fortress, prison, menagerie and palace, all this was held in this place built in the early 1080’s by William the Conquerer. Famous for the executions and tortures that happened inside, you can, nowadays, visit interactive displays of its history throughout the centuries and also see the working collection of Crown Jewels.
