London is a leading global city and its´ strengths lie in the arts, entertainment, fashion, commerce and tourism. These attributes all contribute to its prominence and of course makes it the most visited city in the world.
Is it any wonder London tops the list of most visited city in the world as it boasts World Heritage sites including the Tower of London, The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, the Palace of Westminster, Westminster Abbey and St Margaret’s Church. There is also the Royal Observatory which marks the Greenwich Meridian Longitude and GMT (Greenwich Mean Time).
Tourists will often take a trip on the London Underground just to boast that they actually rode this historic network (it is the oldest underground railway network in the world), and also the most extensive after the Shanghai Metro. The Underground is used by London residents to get about and is relied on heavily all through the year.
Five International airports makes London’s airspace the busiest of any urban centre worldwide, depositing a diverse range of people, cultures and religions, from all corners of the world and it is a fact that more than 300 languages are spoken within its boundaries.

June is the perfect month to visit London with so much going on, but a highlight has to be Trooping the Colour which celebrates the Sovereign’s official birthday. Despite her actual birthday being on the 21st of April this spectacle has traditionally been held in June to ensure better weather.
The ceremony dates back to at least the early 18th century when the colours (flags) of the battalion were carried (or trooped) down the ranks so that they could be seen and recognized by the soldiers.
The Queen attends in a horse-drawn carriage and the regiments of the Household Division, her personal troops, parade in front of her. You will see all the pomp and ceremony with over 1400 soldiers on parade, plus 200 horses and over 400 musicians, a truly magnificent sight to behold, and is well worth a visit on either the second or third Saturday in June.
Other events to enjoy are Wimbledon Fortnight in the last week of June and first week of July and from June to August the City of London Festival brings the city to life.
