London used to be the world's largest metropolis and it's still a huge place if it's your first visit. London is the capital and largest urban area of England and the United Kingdom. It’s a perfect binding of the past and the present, a city with so many places to visit that one couldn't find the time to view them all! The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and on Horse Guards Parade, as well as the Buckingham Palace itself are must-see sights. Take a look at the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock tower that houses Big Ben. Other must-see London sights include the London Bridge and nearby Tower of London, the British Museum, the Princess of Diana's memorial and Madame Tussaud. Of course, you have to ride on the London Eye. London has also some of the finest parks in the world.

St John's Wood is a district of north London in the City of Westminster, near Regent's Park. It is approximately 2.5 miles north-west of Charing Cross. Once part of the Great Middlesex Forest, it was later owned by the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. It is home to some of the most expensive properties in the world. St John's Wood is the location of Lord's Cricket Ground, headquarter of the sport. It is also famous for Abbey Road Studios, where The Beatles recorded. Enjoy our English school in London!
