DK London (Travel Guide)

Whether you want to tread the footsteps of kings and queens in the royal palaces, take a break from sightseeing in one of the city’s many parks, or sample a tantalizing array of street food from around the world, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that London has to offer.

Every corner of this cosmopolitan capital is brimming with personality. Dripping in pomp and tradition, Whitehall
and Westminster are best known for their iconic sights and regal architecture.
