If there were such a competition, London would be one of the cities short-listed for the title of 'world capital': diverse, exciting and cutting-edge while also being old-fashioned and traditional. This guide to London will give an idea of what to put on your travel list if you are planning a city break in London.
London is a sprawling metropolis which is known for swallowing newcomers and making (some of) them hate it. Be ready to look past the dirt and the (apparently) dodgy underground system, though, and there is a wealth of amazing things to see and do in London.
The British Museum is home to all the amazing stuff that the British managed to accrue during their globe-ruling days, the museum houses one of the greatest collections of Egyptian exhibits and the marble friezes from the Parthenon in Greece. If you can, take a look at the key to understanding hieroglyphs: The Rosetta Stone.
The city is known for and proud of its club scene. It can cater to any taste, from indie to drum n' bass, with plenty to choose from. There are some legendary clubs that you should try to visit, but get into the smaller, grungier ones tucked away under a railway arch and see what London is really all about. Ask some people who look like they are into what you're into for advice. Londoners are actually a lot friendlier than their reputation would have you believe.
