Greater London is comprised of 31 boroughs and the cities of Westminster and the City of London. Hotels in Outer London tend to be more economical, modern and spacious than Inner London establishments, and visitors can then travel into town using metropolitan trains and the famous Tube system for the chance to ride the London Eye, drink in a typical British pub, hit the aisles of Harrods and visit the Queen. Posh hotels overlook the eastern end of Hyde Park, but budget accommodation is also plentiful with good quality hostels in all parts of the city.

Galleries such as the Tate Britain and theatres of an impeccable standard like the Royal Albert Hall, mean Londoners are knowledgeable in the arts. The city embraces every culture and all are welcomed to the Mela and Notting Hill Carnival. Sport is a big passion, with Arsenal and Chelsea battling it out for the title of London's best football team. A host of marquee events further contributes to a sporting calendar few other places can match.
