I Love London it's my favorite city to visit, I would live in or near there if I was ever given the chance!!

This is a very beautiful country. The gateway to Europe.

I love London as a city. I grew up near New York City and it reminds me a lot of New York. We have direct flights from Orlando to London so Its not too much of a hassle to get there. Love it and looking forward to returning!

Go with someone special to you. it makes all the difference :)

If you are using tube/underground for getting around be prepared for a lot of stairs!

This was our first time in London and we loved it. It was unfortunate that it was just before the COVID-19 shutdown, but that worked to our advantage since it was less crowded than usual. We loved staying in Trafalgar Square and loved the sites.

Visit London

London travel guide video.

Take a trip in the London Eye, the giant wheel that sits on the banks of the River Thames, to get a sense of what makes London such an amazing city. Look below you to see immediately recognizable landmarks and streets bursting with life. As well as offering unparalleled sightseeing and culture, London today also promises a thriving foodie scene and peaceful parks, for when you need to escape the restless rush of the city.

Visit the Museum of London to find out about the fascinating story of Britain’s capital city. Learn about its origins at the Roman settlement Londinium, as well as the invasions and occupations that shaped the city in the following two millennia.

One of the best ways to spend your time in London is hopping between its numerous world-class museums and galleries, most of which are free to enter. The British Museum and the National Gallery are two of the most famous, but there are dozens more to discover. Learn about the history of healthcare in the Wellcome Collection or chart the story of design in the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the Saatchi Gallery also offer hours of entertainment.

The U.K.’s capital has no shortage of iconic landmarks, from Trafalgar Square to St. Paul’s Cathedral to the Houses of Parliament. Meet the silent, stoic soldiers that stand outside Buckingham Palace and encounter the crown jewels at the Tower of London.

Modern London hosts a thriving arts scene that every visitor needs to experience. Amble along Southbank to pass the Tate Modern, the British Film Institute and the National Theatre. Book tickets to see world-famous musicals in the theatres of the West End. Alternatively, seek out something more classical at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden for a night of extravagant entertainment.

Travel to London at any time of year, although wrap up in waterproofs if visiting in the rainy winter months between November and February. While the London Underground makes getting around easy, the city center is also an exciting area to explore on foot.

Coronavirus wrecker the trip but it was great to be here!

Hop on hop off buses are great to give you an idea about where to go.Dont expect to be able to do too many things in one day. Most shops in Oxford St dont open until 10am. There will be a bit of walking and steep stairs .

5/5 - Excellent

Seemed less stressed this trip. Customer service everywhere was friendly, people smiled and generally were helpful when you asked questions. Was a nice sunny crisp spring day. Cleaner streets than usual too.

We have been to London many times before and there was no need to visit any tourists attractions. We went for our mother’s 90th birthday. London was cold, windy and raining.

We didn't plan to go here but decided to add the city to our trip and was really glad we did. Had an amazing time. Extrmely expensive however.

“Very few people know about the tiny wine shop in the basement, where occasional intimate wine-tastings are held for no more than six people. It's even possible to arrange a bespoke tasting.”

Rosewood London

Rosewood knew what it was doing when it chose 252 High Holborn for its first London address. The building is an Edwardian treasure, rich in heritage features, including a grand staircase winding up towards the central dome above. Before entering, you pass through huge cast iron gates into an arched carriageway and across a cobbled courtyard. Inside, there’s an extensive art collection that includes a British bulldog statue wearing a Vivienne Westwood collar.

Even the spa incorporates local touches with treatments including a British rose facial and a detoxifying body treatment incorporating Epsom salts. Before sightseeing, tuck into complimentary daily breakfast for two at the Holborn Dining Room, known for its elevated British cuisine.

TIP FROM MANDY

“Scarfe's Bar in the Rosewood is decorated with cartoons by Gerald Scarfe and exudes the atmosphere of a private member’s club. It regularly features on lists of the world’s best bars and is worth visiting for the nightly live jazz.”

The Ned London

The Ned London offers large open spaces and decor that pay homage to the former Midland Bank building’s 1920s Edwardian style. Each individually designed room channels the building's history with details like silk tasseled lampshades, velvet club chairs, and mirrored cocktail cabinets. Restaurants and bars serve food and drinks from around the world, and complimentary  daily breakfast for two  is an additional benefit provided by this property in The Hotel Collection. Ned’s Club Spa includes an indoor 20 meter lap pool, a sauna and a steam room, a Moroccan Hammam and a gents barbershop and ladies hair salon. Fittingly, the Ned is close to the also trendy Shoreditch neighborhood.

“On Sundays, The Ned hosts what is possibly London’s most decadent brunch, 'Ned’s Feast.' There’s a huge selection of hot and cold dishes, including oysters and lobster, the term 'feast' here is not hyperbolic.”

Opulent old-world style meets modern convenience at The Savoy, A Fairmont Managed Hotel . Rooms and suites feature silk wallpaper, Murano chandeliers, marble baths, and views of the River Thames. The Savoy Grill serves French-inspired British cuisine; book the Chef's Table Experience for a private room within the kitchen seating up to six diners. Rejuvenate at the Savoy's Beauty & Fitness area, or indulge in the complimentary mini bar. Venture out to explore hidden gems such as Neal's Yard, House of MinaLima, and the London Transport Museum, all within walking distance.

“The short road leading up to the hotel entrance is famously the only public road in the country where cars must drive on the right-hand side of the road.”

The Dorchester

The Dorchester has been standing tall in Mayfair since 1931 and continues to attract politicians, celebrities, and other luminaries. Fresh off a 2023 renovation, the elegant, airy rooms and suites are done up with florals, hand-painted headboards, and pastels suggestive of an English garden. Many have expansive views of Hyde Park, and you can get a head start on exploring with 12pm check-in , when available. Keep an eye out for art as you navigate the hotel and consider popping into the Wine Vault, an intimate space within the kitchen that counts over 1,000 bottles and hosts tastings.

“The Dorchester is one of London’s grand dame hotels, and its afternoon tea at the Promenade is a storied tradition. Ensconce yourself in a comfortable seat at the Promenade and spend a couple of hours people-watching.”

The Hari Hotel London

Feel like a Londoner when staying at The Hari , which is tucked away in Chesham Place, apart from the hustle-bustle. Accommodations feature marble bathrooms, and luxe textiles like leather, faux fur, and velvet. Select suites offer separate living areas, fireplaces, and private balconies. You might put the $100 credit towards a meal at Il Pampero, which takes inspiration from hearty southern Italian cuisine. Work it off with a ride on complimentary bikes.

“Change up your usual drink order with art-inspired cocktails at the Hari Garden Bar & Terrace. Up Up and Away, made with hibiscus-infused gin, cherry liqueur, cranberry, and a bubble of smoke, is based on Banksy's 'Girl with a Balloon'.”

Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, London

The city’s art scene is on your doorstep at Mandarin Oriental Mayfair, London , a striking new glass-striped property perched on Hanover square amidst dozens of galleries. Interiors are sleek and stylish enough to keep pace with the tastemakers around, and décor is softened by organic patterns and hand-painted floral wallpaper. Indulge your inner epicurean and put your $100 credit toward   light bites and craft cocktails with skyline views at ABar Rooftop. Let your cares go at the sprawling spa, which offers a range of treatments that can all be complemented with binaural audio therapy, or take a dip in the long indoor pool, which is secluded in a cave like room studded with lights for an unearthly experience.

“Try on-site restaurant Akira Back, the first UK venture from the acclaimed chef himself, Akira Back, combining Japanese cuisine with Back's Korean heritage, for an all-day dining experience.”

Broadwick Soho

A flamboyant new addition to Fine Hotels + Resorts, Broadwick Soho is a small independent boutique hotel (57 rooms) with big personality in London’s dynamic West End. A red awning and pink door usher you into a townhouse-like environment of patterned wallpapers, plush furnishings, and eye-catching art.

Enjoy a bonus afternoon to relax or explore with guaranteed 4pm check-out .

“One of London’s coolest hotels in terms of décor and vibe, as you would expect from its Soho location, with a wonderful, bookable rooftop bar that packs up in summer thanks to its outdoor terrace tables.”

Cozy rooms are outfitted with raw concrete ceilings, wooden furnishings, window seats, and stuffed Paddington bears. As you climb the Treehouse, pick where to use your $100 credit among multiple dining options, from the street level Pizzeria Mozza to the 15th-floor upscale Mexican restaurant Madera (with standard and vegan menus) to rooftop bar The Nest with a wrap-around terrace and 360-degree views.

Leighton House Museum

In the leafy and upmarket environs of Holland Park and often overlooked in favor of the more famous, larger London museums, the Leighton House Museum is the former home and studio of Frederic, Lord Leighton, a leading artist of the Victorian age ( rbkc.gov.uk/museums ). It embodies how we expect a great artist of the time to live and will charm art lovers.

It's one of the first things that people want to see in London, and understandably so – the sense of history at the Tower of London is palpable ( hrp.org.uk/tower-of-london ).

Please note, access to the benefit may take up to 24 hours to take effect on your Card after Account opening. Purchases by both the Basic Card Member and any Additional Card Members on the Card Account are eligible for statement credits. However, the total amount of statement credits for eligible purchases will not exceed $200 per calendar year, per Card Account. Fine Hotels + Resorts® program bookings may be made only by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic Platinum and Additional Platinum Card Members. The Hotel Collection bookings may be made by eligible U.S. Consumer Basic and Additional Platinum Card Members and Companion Platinum Card Members on the Platinum Card Account.

Statement credits are typically received within a few days, however it may take 90 days after an eligible prepaid hotel booking is charged to the Card Account. American Express relies on the merchant’s processing of transactions to determine the transaction date. The transaction date may differ from the date you made the purchase if, for example, there is a delay in the merchant submitting the transaction to us or if the merchant uses another date as the transaction date. This means that in some cases your purchase may not earn the statement credit benefit for the benefit period in which you made the purchase. For example, if an eligible purchase is made on December 31st but the merchant processes the transaction such that it is identified to us as occurring on January 1st, then the statement credit available in the next calendar year will be applied. Statement credits may not be received or may be reversed if the booking is cancelled or modified. If the Card Account is canceled or past due, it may not qualify to receive a statement credit. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as eligible, you will not receive the statement credits. For example, your transaction will not be eligible if it is a booking: (i) made with a property not included in the Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection programs, (ii) not made through American Express Travel, or (iii) not made with an eligible Card. Participating properties and their availability are subject to change. If American Express, in its sole discretion, determines that you have engaged in or intend to engage in any manner of abuse, misuse, or gaming in connection with this benefit, American Express will not have an obligation to provide and may reverse any statement credits provided to you. If a charge for an eligible purchase is included in a Pay Over Time balance on your Card Account, the statement credit associated with that charge may not be applied to that Pay Over Time balance. Instead, the statement credit may be applied to your Pay In Full balance. Please refer to  AmericanExpress.com/FHR  and  AmericanExpress.com/HC  for more information about Fine Hotels + Resorts and The Hotel Collection, respectively.
