Paris is a city that offers something for everyone; world-class dining in its many amazing restaurants, its reputation as the capital of romance and love or cultural sights like the Louvre — home of the Mona Lisa — and the majestic Eiffel Tower.

Paris makes for a fantastic (and expensive) city break that is well-worth a look, and with its location in the heart of Europe is easily reached for many by plane, train or even car.

Whilst landmarks like Buckingham Palace and Big Ben, and cultural destinations like the world-renowned Harrods department store, Oxford Street, Mayfair attract shoppers and diners from across the globe.

All of this coupled in a safe, well-connected destination make London a desirable destination for visitors from around the world — all keen to enjoy a classy Afternoon Tea or a leisurely trip to a traditional British pub.
