Covering over 600 square miles, London is by far Europe's largest city. But don't let this put you off - many of its most famous landmarks are within walking distance of each other. From Big Ben and Westminster Abbey you can wander the streets only to find yourself at the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus. The English capital is also perfect for those who enjoy living life at a fast pace. With 47% of the city's population between the age of 16 and 44, there are fewer places on the planet with as much energy as London.

Insider Tip:Clean and Presume Location
Stayed here many times, good renovations since last time. The kitchen is much cleaner and wifi is free and available throughout the building. Stayed in four-bed dorm on top floor. It was too warm but I don't think that's avoidable in old buildings like this.
London was amazing! The culture is so rich and diverse. On one street you can see a pub, a curry house, a Turkish coffee shop and a bakery! I absolutely fell in love with the city. I really liked that you could hop on the underground and take a train to anywhere in the city relatively quickly. I would highly recommend London for anyone traveling Europe! .
Insider Tip:Most of the kitchens close at 10pm at all restaurants and pubs so don't eat late! The pub culture in London is amazing, most people have a few pints after work, walk around and check out the local pubs and "real ales."
Yeah was alright, did all the standard tourist things as you´d expect and even had some nice weather most of the days. The tube is great and a good way to get around.
Insider Tip:Buy a tube ticket with a 16-25 railcard to save 4 pounds each day! You never get checked it´s all machines.
We loved our visit! Saw everything there was to see in three days! Loved meeting all of the locals. They were so nice to us and always down to party. Did the London Eye which was a great way to see the city, after walking through the entire city seeing Parliament, Big Ben, Changing of Guards, Harrods, London Tower, Bridge, Abbey Road, and everything else. Great city!
