Summer’s Coming! Here’s Why You Should Visit London

April 28, 2017 by ellie

Plan Your Perfect Summer Trip to the Capital

Thinking ahead to your summer holidays? With longer, sunnier days and events in full swing, London becomes one of the most exciting and vibrant cities to explore in summer. Whether you’re visiting for the culture, cuisine, shopping or family fun, there’s something here for everyone. Here’s why a summer escape to London should be at the top of your list.

Iconic History and World-Famous Sights

From Big Ben and Buckingham Palace to the Tower of London, the capital is home to some of the most famous landmarks in the world. Many historic attractions are open for tours, offering a glimpse into centuries of British heritage. Take in the skyline from the top of the London Eye, or cruise along the River Thames for a more relaxed perspective.

Did you know that the Crown Jewels are still stored at the Tower of London? Or that you can stroll to Buckingham Palace in just minutes from Georgian House? Whether you’re a first-time visitor or returning to see more, London’s mix of history and modernity is truly timeless.

Unbeatable Shopping Experiences

From Harrods to Camden Market, London is a paradise for shoppers. Whether you love luxury boutiques or quirky vintage finds, there’s a district or market for you.

Don’t miss our City Shopping offer, which includes a £20 voucher to treat yourself at Harrods — perfect for picking up something special or indulging in a sweet treat at Godiva Café. For fresh produce, antiques and unique fashion, explore Borough Market, East Street Market or Camden.

London’s Lively Nightlife

When the sun sets, the city doesn’t slow down. From buzzing rooftop bars to quirky cocktail lounges, London nightlife is full of energy and variety.

Check out Shoreditch for eclectic clubs and music venues, or sip a martini at the stylish Connaught Bar, named one of the world’s best by Time Out. For something more experimental, head to White Lyan, known for its inventive drinks and distinctive vibe.

Prefer skyline views with your cocktail? Try Radio Rooftop, Vista Bar or the breathtaking Sky Garden.

Family Fun for All Ages

London is just as exciting for families as it is for solo travellers or couples. Dive into the deep at SEA LIFE London Aquarium, explore spooky stories at The London Dungeon, or experience the magic of a West End show.

Top family-friendly musicals include Matilda, The Lion King and Wicked, all within easy reach of Georgian House. Plus, most museums and landmarks offer activities designed to engage younger visitors.

Dining That Delivers Every Time

Food lovers are spoilt for choice in London. Whether you’re after Michelin-starred fine dining, a late-night street food bite, or a traditional pub lunch, you’ll find it all just steps away.

A few of our favourites near Georgian House include:

  • Grumbles – a cosy bistro in Pimlico serving British–French classics.
  • Kazanin Victoria – authentic Turkish cuisine inspired by 13th-century recipes.
  • St. George’s Tavern – a classic English pub dating back to 1840 with award-winning ales and hearty fare.

Summer dining in London often means alfresco terraces, riverside brunches and incredible international flavours.
