Activities in London

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in southwest London, home to the world's largest and most diverse collection of living plants. Its 121 hectares include iconic Victorian glasshouses, a treetop walkway, and the largest surviving Victorian glass structure in the world.

The Royal Opera House in Covent Garden is one of the world's great performing arts venues, home to The Royal Opera, The Royal Ballet, and the Orchestra of the Royal Opera House. The current building, the third on the site, opened in 1858.

A Thames river cruise is one of the best ways to see London's landmarks from the water, passing the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, and the Canary Wharf skyline. Services run from Westminster to Greenwich and beyond.
