"When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life" Samuel Johnson
Standing on the River Thames, the capital of the UK is a leading force in the arts, commerce, entertainment, fashion, finance and tourism. London dates back to its founding by the Romans, so it's brimming with history, culture and century-old establishments. The city's famous landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, Trafalgar Square, and The Shard attract over 14 million international visitors per year, making it Europe's most visited city. It is also home to numerous world-renowned museums, galleries, libraries, sporting events and other cultural institutions, such as the British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, British Library and 40 West End theatres.
