What to do during a hotel weekend in London?

From the London Eye to Tower Bridge via the Palace of Westminster

The finest architectural gems of London line the banks of the Thames. Board the panoramic capsules of the London Eye to admire the city from above, before following the river to the majestic Palace of Westminster. Its neo-Gothic silhouette and iconic clock tower Big Ben are majestically reflected in the waters of the river.

The walk naturally leads you to Tower Bridge, whose glass walkways offer a dizzying experience 40 metres above the Thames. River cruises let you admire this heritage from another angle, passing under the arches of the Millennium Bridge to the foot of St Paul's Cathedral. The view of Tate Modern and the Globe Theatre completes this journey to the heart of historic and cultural London.

Stroll through London's iconic districts

Let yourself be seduced by the unique atmosphere of Camden Town, where the colourful façades of vintage shops sit alongside the lively stalls of the covered market. This alternative district immerses you in a rock and creative atmosphere, between street-food stands from around the world and local craft shops.

The walk continues through the picturesque streets of Notting Hill, famous for its pastel-coloured Victorian houses and the antique dealers of Portobello Road. On Saturdays, the antiques market turns the district into a true open-air museum.

Over in Shoreditch, street art covers the walls with spectacular murals, while trendy cafés and contemporary art galleries bear witness to the creative revival of the East End. A walk through these districts reveals the authentic London.

Indulge in a traditional English brunch

London mornings take on a special flavour over a hearty brunch, a true British institution. From poached eggs to sautéed mushrooms, crispy bacon and baked beans, every bite tells a story of centuries-old culinary traditions.
