Review:

London is one of the world's great cities, located on the banks of the beautiful Thames River in south central England. The vibrant United Kingdom capital preserves some of the greatest royal and civic historic attractions in Europe, including the iconic Big Ben clock tower, the royal coronation site at Westminster Abbey, and the country's famed Houses of Parliament government buildings. Many national museums are open to the public for free throughout the year, making great choices to fill a girls' weekend itinerary on a budget. Hip shopping districts like Chelsea and thoroughfares like Oxford Street are home to high-end retailers, indie boutiques, and art galleries. Friends in town for the weekend can also take a spin on the massive London Eye observation wheel, catch plays at the reconstructed Globe Theatre, or enjoy international fare at the city's many acclaimed gourmet restaurants and authentic taverns.
