London

Everything is here. So is the price of everything.

Travellers come here for culture, nightlife, food and meeting people.

When to go

Aim for July, August and June. Think twice about November, December and October — the wettest stretch of the year.

Getting there

Airports serving London: LHR, LGW, STN and LTN. London is on an intercity rail network, so nearby stops are often better reached by train than by air.

Cheapest one-way found from LAX next month: $283, 1 stop. Found 33 hours ago — a price someone was offered, not a quote for you.
