DK Travel : London

A city of infinite colour and variety, London is both richly historic, tracing its roots back over 2000 years, and unceasingly modern, at the forefront of fashion, music and the arts. There is a fantastic amount to interest and entertain the visitor here: a selection of the best of the best is explored here.

Henry James

The American writer (1811–1916) lived in Bolton Street, de Vere Gardens, and in Cheyne Walk, where he died.
Hi-Fi Experience

One of the best stereo and home-cinema stores in a street full of electronic equipment shops.
Highgate Cemetery

On the opposite side of the Heath to Hampstead, Highgate grew up as a healthy, countrified place for nobility who built large mansions here. Many of the famous people who lived in the area are buried in Highgate Cemetery. Soon after it had been consecrated in 1839, its Victorian architecture and fine views made it a popular outing for Londoners. Karl Marx and the novelist George Eliot are buried in the less glamorous East Cemetery.
Highgate Cemetery

Filled with grand tombs, many of the rich and famous, this is the best of London’s cemeteries. The living have to pay to get in, too, and the cemetery is divided into eastern and western halves, the latter visitable only with a tour.

A modern hotel with standard facilities, this is the closest hotel to Stansted Airport. Ideal for early flights, it is a short bus journey to the terminal.

HMS Belfast

The last of the big-gun armoured ships,HMS Belfastwas built in 1938 and saw active service in World War II and Korea. In 1971 she was saved for the nation as an example of an early 20th-century British warship and opened as a museum. Visitors can tour the bridge, the huge engine rooms, the galley and the messdecks, where you get an idea of what life must have been like on board.
Holiday Inn Express

One of a chain of ten, value-for-money London hotels, the London City hotel is not actually in the City, but backs onto newly fashionable Hoxton Square, an area known more for art than for business.
Holiday Inn Hampstead

Located between Camden and Hampstead, this modern 140-bedroom hotel has all the regular facilities of a chain hotel, including a bar and the Junction Restaurant. It offers very good rates at weekends.
