London is one of the world’s grandest cities, rivalling European greats like Paris and Rome for iconic buildings and stately architecture, and New York for world-class creativity, ideas and culture. It’s a city where the Royal family is still idealized and romanticized to fairytale proportions; where countless movies and tv serials are filmed; and where celebrities - from movie stars and singers to authors and chefs, flock to live. It is a multicultural melting pot with residents from around the globe speaking more than 300 languages, but it also retains those very loveable English traditions where tea-drinking clichés and Hugh Grant stereotypes still bring a smile. The combination attracts the most visitors to any city in the world.
