London Town

A travel guide to London, England

London. Home to Big Ben and the British Museum, bobbies and Beefeaters, punk hairdos and a stiff upper lip, fish 'n' chips and the royal family, giant black taxicabs and double-decker buses, time-traveling phone booths and tea-time at Harrods, Sherlock Holmes and the Crown Jewels.

You can break out the opera glasses for an evening of West End theater, dance in cutting-edge clubs, and drink in the pubs where Shakespeare got sloshed. And oh yes, there is a London Bridge, but despite reports to the contrary, it isn't falling down.

London also has some of the world's foremost museums, including exhaustive collections of everything from paintings, antiquities, and historical artifacts to decorative arts, wax models, and film memorabilia.
