Well-connected city stays close to the sights and the Underground
At a glance
Britain's capital is one of the world's great walking cities — from the medieval Tower of London and Westminster Abbey to the free galleries of the British Museum and Tate Modern, and the theatres of the West End, its landmarks cluster along both banks of the Thames. Royal Westminster, buzzing Soho and Covent Garden, historic Southbank, and the reinvented City and Shoreditch are all linked by the fast, iconic Underground, making London an easy, endlessly rewarding city break in any season.

UK Electronic Travel Authorisation for Canadians
See Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, tour coronation-site Westminster Abbey, then watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace.
Meet the Rosetta Stone at the British Museum, then cross the Thames to Tate Modern and the National Gallery — all free to enter.
Catch a hit musical in the West End, graze the food stalls of Borough Market, and bar-hop through Soho and Covent Garden after dark.
Passport: A Canadian passport valid for the full duration of your stay is required — the UK is not in the Schengen Area, so there is no three-month buffer rule.
ETA (visa waiver): Canadians must obtain a UK Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) before travelling. Apply online via the official UK ETA app or website ahead of your flight.
Travel insurance: Provincial health plans don't cover care in the UK. Comprehensive travel insurance is strongly recommended.
Power & plugs: The UK uses 230V/50Hz with Type G three-pin plugs — bring a UK plug adapter and check that devices are dual-voltage.
Time zone: London runs on GMT (BST in summer) — five hours ahead of Toronto.
Spring blossom in the royal parks, mild days and thinner crowds — great value.
Warmest, longest days and festival season. Busiest and priciest — book early.
Crisp, golden weather and easing crowds — arguably the best time to explore.
Christmas lights, markets and pantomimes light up the city — cold but magical.
Where to stay
London's neighbourhoods each have their own character, and the Underground makes any of them a quick ride to the sights. Here's how to choose your base.
Central London
The heart of tourist London — Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Soho, Covent Garden and the theatre district all on your doorstep.
West London
Leafy, upscale streets home to the great free museums of South Kensington, Hyde Park, and smart shopping around Knightsbridge.
South of the Thames
A walkable riverside strip linking the London Eye, Tate Modern and the Southbank Centre, with quick transit across the bridges.
East London
The historic financial district meets creative East End — street art, markets, rooftop bars and a buzzing nightlife scene.
Beyond the city
London is a superb base for exploring England's castles, university towns and coast. Every excursion below can be booked through ShopTravel or your hotel concierge.
Tour the world's oldest occupied castle and the royal State Apartments, then stroll across the river to historic Eton.
Explore Oxford's historic colleges, then wander the honey-stone villages and rolling hills of the Cotswolds countryside.
Stand before the prehistoric stone circle at Stonehenge, then tour the Roman Baths and honey-coloured Georgian city of Bath.
Ride the pebble-beach promenade, browse the boutique Lanes, and see the exotic Royal Pavilion in England's liveliest seaside city.
