London’s Must-See Moments

From the riverbanks of Westminster to the lively South Bank, London’s landmarks are always worth seeing. Take a gentle walk past the Houses of Parliament, or stop by the London Eye for a fresh view of the skyline. If you have time to explore a little further, Tower Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral are two classics that never lose their appeal. These are the sights that define the city, and they are easy to reach from Olympia.

Culture, Colour and Creativity
London is full of places that spark inspiration. The V and A , Tate Modern and the British Museum are just a few examples of museums and galleries that offer everything from historic collections to modern installations.

Tastes of the City
London’s food scene is one of its biggest draws. You can head to Borough Market for something quick and full of flavour, choose Covent Garden for relaxed dining or explore Soho if you feel like trying something new. From street food and small cafés to independent restaurants and well known favourites, there is something for every taste and every timetable. It is perfect for a catch up with colleagues or a slow meal to round off your day.

You can book a stadium tour or simply enjoy the atmosphere of these well known venues. It is a simple and enjoyable way to add something different to your time in the city.

Sounds of the City
In the evening, London’s music scene comes to life. You will find jazz in Camden, classical concerts in historic halls and major artists performing in large venues across the city. There is always something on, whether you prefer a small and intimate gig or a bigger night out. It is an easy way to unwind after a day at the event.
Shop, Stroll and Discover
If you prefer a calm wander, London’s shopping areas are ideal. Covent Garden is full of boutique shops and street performers. Seven Dials offers a quieter collection of independents, while Oxford Street provides familiar high street names. Even if you are not planning to buy anything, these areas are pleasant places to explore and enjoy at your own pace.
