To and from the airport

The fastest way to get to central London is the Heathrow Express train. You can get on and off at Terminal 2-3 and Terminal 5.

The metro network is the oldest underground train system in the world. The London Underground (also often referred to as “The Tube”) has been around since 1863. The 11 different metro lines carry an average of more than 3 million passengers daily. The tube is in many cases the fastest way to bridge greater distances within London. The Tube can also be used as a cheaper alternative to the Heathrow Express to travel to central London. The metro network is fast, efficient, and cheap.

What to do in London?

Financial District

The business heart of London is Canary Wharf, which is also home to three of the tallest buildings in the UK. This district used to be the country's main port and from 1802 to 1980 it was even one of the busiest docks in the world. After that, the dock closed, resulting in vacancy. After a thorough renovation, Canary Wharf has grown back into London's main business district in recent years. It is now home to both British and European companies.

The best museums

London has a lot of special museums, but the British Museum takes the cake. It is also called the treasury of Europe. It is the oldest museum in the world, where you can admire finds from classical antiquity, such as a mummified cat. If you're more into modern art, head to Tate Modern. Housed in a former power station, this museum is beautifully situated on the south bank of the Thames.

Climb the Tower Bridge

Tower Bridge is one of the most famous landmarks in London. Tower Bridge was built at the end of the nineteenth century and takes its name from the nearby Tower of London. At 42 meters above the River Thames is a glass walkway that runs from the left bank to the right bank. From here, admire the passing traffic and pedestrians on the walkway. Climbing Tower Bridge is a unique experience for people who are not afraid of heights. Of course, the Tower Bridge is also so beautiful to see and you should not miss it during your visit to London.

Big Ben

London's undisputed star and the city's most photographed attraction, Big Ben is a world-famous London landmark. At 96 m high, it can be seen from almost every angle in the heart of the capital. Big Ben is also number one among the city's many most famous landmarks with over 4 million visits per year. It's an iconic structure, so seeing it even from afar creates a sense of awe!

Dining in London

London has over four thousand bars and although British cuisine may not be known as the best in the world, the city has many good restaurants. For good food, head to Soho, home to well-known streets such as Carnaby Street and Regent Street.

 

In the narrow alleys, one good restaurant alternates with another. Dining with a view is one of the must-dos in London. In addition to an impressive view, the 38th floor of the Heron Tower also offers good sushi in the restaurant. The Fenchurch Restaurant in Sky Garden also has wonderful views and good quality cuisine. These two dining options are great for business lunches and dinners.

Business accommodation in London

A day trip back and forth to London for business is fine, but not all business trips are completed in one day. Fortunately, there is plenty to choose from in the city in terms of hotels, especially for business travelers. The London Marriott Hotel Regents Park and the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge London are two popular hotels for business travelers. Closer to Canary Wharf, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotels London ExCel is a much-loved option.
