Why spend a weekend in London?

London is the ideal location for a weekend break. It is the UK's capital city and it has the perfect combination of visitor attractions, West End shows, museums, galleries and dinning.

Furthermore, many hotels, tour operators and package holiday companies offer special deals for a London weekend break making it the most popular and economic short break option in the UK.

London can be reached from most of the UK's major cities by executive coach or train and all of the UK's airports offer domestic flights to England's capital city.

Travelling by any of these methods during "off peak" times usually results in significant savings on ticket prices and the train and coach options may prove cheaper than the car.

Once on your London Weekend break the attractions, shows and sightseeing opportunities are unrivalled. London's appeal is universal and it literally provides entertainment and things to see on a 24 – 7 basis. It is the perfect short break destination for singles, couples and families.

London's many restaurants give you the option to eat quickly and cheaply, or to enjoy a leisurely meal in a romantic setting.

Do however be aware that prices rise from the lunchtime period to the evening diner. Menus will also differ depending upon the time of day.
