London is one of those cities that I felt immediately drawn to when I visited, and it’s been true each time. It’s a destination I’d love to revisit. I have great memories – visiting Stonehenge (before all the barricades), watching Mousetrap and Phantom of the Opera (with the swinging chandelier), the pigeons at Piccadilly Square, time with family and friends, the museums, eating and shopping, even that business trip to Canary Wharf, and so much more…
If London is in your travel plans, you know that there is a lot to see!
It can be overwhelming, I know.
