More reasons to join (particularly for those from out of town)
Here are a few ideas on how to make the most of your visit to London, one of the greatest cities of the world.
1. Visit historic and new attractions
The FIPP World Congress takes place at the iconic Tobacco Docks, not far from the Tower of London. From there it is an easy trip to other attractions such as St. Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the British Museum, Natural History Museum or Tate Modern, Piccadilly Circus, and more. Or take in the skyline from London’s tallest building The Shard or from the London Eye, not far from Westminster and Big Ben.
2. Go shopping
London offers an array of shopping opportunities, from London markets such as Portobello Road, Camden Lock Market, Old Spitalfields, and more, to shopping destinations such as Covent Garden, Oxford Street and Regent Street, and department stores such as Harrods and more.
3. Go to the theatre, dine out
From world-class plays in the West End to live music, stand-up comedy and more, as one of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities London truly offers something for everyone. Make the most of your night out with exceptional dining experiences London has to offer, from Michelin Star restaurants, to traditional British pub food, street food, rooftop dining and more.
4. Stroll around, take a riverboat or hop into a black cab or red bus
From walks winding along the River Thames to parks such as Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath and the Royal Botanical Gardens, London offers plenty of opportunity to leisure time away as you take in sights and sounds around you. Take riverboat tours to take in some of London’s most impressive sites along the River Thames. And while you’re out and about, jump on one of London’s iconic red buses or hail a black cab to round off your London experience.
