Van Hire Search

London is the capital of England and of the United Kingdom. It's a large city in the south-east of the country that's home to more than 7.5 million people. Unsurprisingly, London is also a major tourist attraction that draws around 15 million visitors a year - both for business and pleasure.

London's three major airports - Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted are amongst the largest in Europe and the London City Airport provides an extremely convenient service to business travellers and others who need to access the city more directly by air.

London was first settled by the Romans in AD50. The city was then known as Londinium but the city did not become the capital of England until the 12th century - around 1200 years later. London is one of the main financial services sectors in the world. A huge number of banks and investment companies have bases in the City of London and the London Stock Exchange is one of the world's largest and most important.

Visitors to London don't want for attractions either. Historical delights include the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral, the Royal Albert Hall and many more. There is always a wide range of plays, musicals and concerts on in the West End theatre district and the town has a great many cinemas and music venues, too.
