London is prepared to unleash an array of colourful events of glitz, glamour and patriotism. Step in to London to witness ‘Union Jack’ flags in every corner of the city and miles stretch of bunting along the Thames River.

While in London, make the most of it by being a part of one of the thousand street parties in the city or at the pop concert by Elton John and Paul McCartney at the Buckingham Palace. Observe the spectacular lighting network of over 4000 beacons in Britain or a visit to the photography showcase at the Victoria and Albert Museum by the Queen’s Photographer Cecil Beaton. The Windsor Castle to see The Queen: Sixty Photographs for Sixty Years exhibition will also be another interesting place to be and see at the Windsor Castle and last but not least not forgetting a majestic tour around the Buckingham Palace.
