A Weekend in London
What about a weekend in London with a bunch of friends or just the two of you ? Our hotels are looking forward to welcoming you in swinging London, home of the red busses and phone booths, fine fish'n'chips and the famous «tea time». British phlegm, the hassle of the City and fascinated tourists make for a harmonious mosaic.
You will love the British capital for its cosmopolitan flair which allows you to travel on the spot through the world ! Stroll through the «villages» of this multi-ethnic puzzle and you embark on a journey that takes you from India via Jamaica to China... During your visit, it will be impossible for you to just walk past the city’s traditional street markets, museums and parks. They are part of the magic. However offbeat, in London you will find anything from sixties clothes to second-hand books and CDs ! Especially if you like to dilly-dally, you will be able to unearth sought-after odds and sods as well as other fancy objects !

Nowhere else in the world you can visit so many things without spending a fortune, since the city offers free admission to 238 cultural sights. For an example, amble through the leafy park of Kenwood House, where you can admire masterpieces by Rembrandt, Reynolds, Turner & Co. or bring your kids to Hackney City Farm where they are sure to have lots of fun.
There’s certainly no lack of museums in London and there is free admission to the national museums. Don’t miss out on the British Museum. It houses treasures from all over the world, like the Rosetta Stone, die Elgin Marbles (sculptures from the Parthenon) and other famous works.
