Destination Spotlight: Greater London
Who in the world doesn’t already have an expectation of London. We hardly need to write a guide. Begin a sentence with ‘London is’ and you can end it with almost any statement - London is…a major world city…a contemporary brand…a robust product of history…the home for every type of world cuisine… full of colourful markets, cutting-edge boutiques and luxury department stores…a centre of art and culture…an example of innovative architecture…a melting pot that welcomes people from everywhere. London is revered by almost every other city in the world. London is fascinating.
People come to see Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square, The Tower and leave with a determination to return and experience the real London. Under the skin of tourist attractions, lies a broad collection of cultural experiences, diligently supporting the needs of the bold and creative people that call the shots in this busy city with serious intent. Nothing less than a diverse mix of world-beating restaurants, nightclubs and bars, theatre, arts and entertainment would satisfy the demand for excellence from London’s ambitious and hardworking populous.
When it comes to meetings and events, London is equipped to cater for your every whim, with a variety of exciting options for every budget.

Conferences & Meetings in Greater London
London offered a huge choice of venues before the London 2012 Olympic Games. The investment in modern hotel stock and sporting arenas The Games demanded, expanded the options massively. London is now a creative playground where energetic event organisers exercise their talents.
Of course, traditional venues are plenty, there are too many to mention. Yet, who could overlook the 19th Century’s triumphant Alexandra Palace, centred within 196 acres of parkland, this timeless venue accommodates up to 7,250 guests.
London does large well. ExCeL London is 90,000sqm of flexible event spaces, Olympia London’s choices range from 4,000 - 20,000sqm and the Business Design Centre 6,000sqm. That’s not to say venues for smaller gatherings are amiss, just about every street has event space of some kind, the diversity is extensive - groups of all sizes are accommodated.
London is awash with delegate accommodation options, from world icons - The Savoy, The Dorchester and the Lanesborough, to international chains - Accor, Hilton, Starwood and Radisson - all the way down to hostels and bed & breakfasts. Every budget can be met.
The city’s subway system, "The Underground", though sometimes overcrowded, is a highly efficient way to get to around, supported by a network of red buses and ever-ready black taxis. Additionally, the six international airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stanstead, Luton, London City, and London Southend make London one the world's most accessible cities.
