Home to nearly 8 million inhabitants with visitors from around the world, London is truly the crossroads of the world. From business to art to sport, it’s global in reach, but with distinctly English traditions.
This famed high-end shopping street is home to designer stores, precious jewellers and auction houses Sotheby's and Christie's.
