London

A tangle of roads and lanes, a muddle of rising and falling neighbourhoods, London can be a tough beast to tame, even for those who call it home. But this ever-changing and regenerating capital can also charm you with its beauty, from its wind-rustled parks to that winding River Thames. Its mix of people, abundance of culture and the occasional louche night on the tiles also makes it a city that will surprise and win you over.
