They come to experience London’s
outstanding cultural offering, our history and
heritage, world-class museums, architecture,
nightlife, parks and waterways. But
increasingly they come to explore what it is to
be a Londoner, to find London’s hidden gems,
to explore our varied and unique
neighbourhoods, and to experience our
distinctive and diverse retail and food
offering.”
