Endlessly deep, endlessly walkable — one of the world's truly great cities.
London gets better the more you know it. The first visit is the obvious things — and they are genuinely extraordinary. The British Museum, the view from Parliament Hill, the Thames at low tide. The second visit is the neighbourhoods: Brixton Market, the Regent's Canal in Hackney on a Sunday, the Barbican estate, the allotments in Peckham.
The great thing about London is that most of its best attractions are free. The British Museum, National Gallery, V&A, Natural History Museum, Tate Modern — all free. The city is expensive in other ways, but the cultural infrastructure is the most generous in the world.
