London is England's capital city and literally bursts with culture and seemingly endless artistic and architectural triumphs. The City of London, in the east, is built on the site of the original Roman settlement and is now London's financial district, like Wall Street, currently enjoying a revival of new modern hotels, restaurants and wine bars, amidst the older "classics." London is ever bustling and growing and its varied metropolis ensures captivating museums, gourmet dining, unique galleries, clubs of every flavor, nightlife and a diverse range of sensational year-round theater, music and outdoor recreation. London was the first city to introduce underground transport and it now runs 24 hours a day, including direct service to and from Heathrow Airport, meaning after clearing customs, travelers can take an escalator underground and catch the “tube” to their hotel. “The tube” is popular and fast and connects this vast city with a system that is both simple and economical. When the daytime buses and underground “tube” stop operating around 0030, the night buses operate until early morning and pass through central London to serve the many restaurants, clubs, cinemas and theaters.
