“History and Modernity, Side by Side.”

- Says Byron, 2023

Explore the Past, Present and Emerging Culture of Western civilisation in the heart of the United Kingdom, where a diamond in the rough lies. London offers a variety of historical sites and modern architectonic establishments, for all to learn and benefit from. Throw on warm attire to combat the cold night bite and stroll down the glistening River Thames, under the glittering night sky, gleaming with ecstasy as you admire all that life has to offer in London. Experience the vibrancy and beauty of the picturesque skyscrapers, defying the laws of nature through their sheer visual magnificence. Truly an astonishing feat of man, and an inspiring sight to see for adolescents. London’s architecture and culture are crucial aspects of what makes it such a unique destination that it deserves the label, “Must-see."

London has earned a special place in my heart, a sparkling souvenir of my childhood in which I reminisce of the time when my family scouted out this heaven on earth and gained precious experiences. The metropolis contains a past that makes traversing the city that much more special as one remembers the Anglo-Saxons that used to roam inside the magnificent city walls. London’s modernity combines various cultures together and is an indiscriminatory region where everyone can experience eudaimonia. These modern and historical aspects of London appoint it a destination worth celebrating and one that should be on everyone’s bucket list.
