Highlights of London

London is one of my favorite cities. There's history, parks, river cruises, plenty of shopping, afternoon tea in spades, and food options that run the gamut from trendy eateries to sky-high fine dining.

London is also a destination for any time of the year. While summers are warmer and there is a greater possibility of sunshine, it isn't guaranteed, so avoid the high prices and go during shoulder season. I made a trip once in mid-November, and it was great. Sure, it was a bit chilly, but we were still able to take a boat road on the Thames, and there was a surprising amount of greenery around the city. In addition, holiday trees and lights were already up, and the city was infused with holiday cheer.
