London
London has been one of the pinnacles of
modernity since the Roman Empire, and that
fact in itself makes distilling the thrills of the
city today tricky. But, looking beyond Big Ben
and the Tower of London, a static charge of
excitement crackles all throughout the city,
just waiting to be discovered.
Now with that, nowhere is the energy
more visible than on gameday—London lives
and breathes football (soccer to Americans).
London is the proverbial promised-land of
football: there are 11 professional teams within
the city. English football season starts in
August and ends in May, meaning that much of
every year is centered around the matches, and
much of the city makes for the perfect place to
spend gameday. Whether you’re sharing a pint
with dedicated fans in a pub, or lounging in a
suite at the ultra-modern Emirates Stadium,
you’ll likely feel the excitement on the
Richter scale.
PARTNER’S POV
“
It may surprise a lot of people that outside of the fashionable cities of London, Edinburgh,
Dublin and Belfast, there are a huge number of stylish new contemporary private houses,
many with impeccable eco-credentials, and many that include top spas and sleek and
award-winning restaurants with options to go foraging with the chef and other unique
experiences. From Cornwall and the Cotswolds to the Highlands and islands of Scotland,
we have it covered.”
