London attracts tourists from all over the world with its sights

But where do all these travel lovers come from? It is not surprising that France became the leader in terms of the number of tourists who came to London (more than 2 million visits). The Channel Tunnel allows you to travel from one country to another in less than an hour. 

Car rental in advance is also profitable in the United Kingdom. You can compare rates online and receive up to 70% discount for rental. For example, rental in Heathrow Airport costs nearly 12 euros per day, in Glasgow Airport - from 10 euros per day.

However, as practice shows, distance is not a significant obstacle to a trip to London. Thus, travelers from the USA became the second largest group of tourists. Germany is in third place. It is followed by Italy and Spain. Russia did not make it into the top 15 countries, tourists from which make up the majority of visitors to London.

Another aspect noted in the review was the length of stay of foreign tourists in the British capital. In 2014, the average duration not only recovered after the 2009 crisis year, but also set a record for the entire history of observations. 

Also, the report notes that the most visited attractions in London were the British Museum (6.7 million visits), the National Portrait Gallery (6.4 million) and the Southbank Center (6.3 million). We recommend visiting the first two with our Russian-speaking guides who conduct fascinating private tours of museums and galleries in London.
