Visit Royal Residences, all located in Central London, both past and present, including Tower of London, Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace.

It seems as there are lots of places to visit for adults, but what can Central London offer our little ones? The Bethnal Green Museum of Childhood houses a collection of toys, dolls and doll's houses, children's costumes and nursery antiques and it is only closed on Fridays.

Central London offers you not only all the attractions above and many others, but also a huge variety of markets, which each has brought its individual style from ages. They are favourite not only for people trying to save or tourists heading for some handmade jewellery or clothes, but also many celebrities cannot avoid popping in. Visit Portobello Market on Friday-Saturday or Camden Market on Sunday and you will understand why there are crowds every market day.

Unfortunately, here we have to stop, because it is impossible to name all the museums, shows, attractions and to express the charm of Central London.
