London
Michelin-starred restaurants and market mayhem
London flights take you to a city of a hundred villages. Try our favourite experiences in our guide to the best London city breaks.
Things to do
London’s iconic red buses snake through the capital. Travel London the way locals do and catch the 23 bus at Liverpool Street past domed St Paul’s Cathedral and bustling Trafalgar Square. Colourful narrowboats are your companions as you wander under a canopy of trees to London Zoo.
Shopping
Oxford Street’s shops throng with busy bargain hunters all day long. Once you’ve stocked up on high-street fashions, browse Camden Market for arty one-off pieces, then cool down with a walk along London’s best kept secret – the canal.
Restaurants
Relax after London flights with a chilled white wine in the leafy beer garden of a Highgate gastro-pub. On colder days savour a pint by the roaring fire after a walk through the rolling hills of Hampstead Heath.
Nightlife
Flights to London bring you to a city alive with music and culture. You can buy tickets to the London musical of your choice at Leicester Square’s kiosks and join the audience that night on a spontaneous London city break.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to London. Choose the date of your London airline tickets to catch top events. Tennis at Wimbledon is in June, while August brings the Notting Hill Carnival.
