Exploring London

London and its adjacent suburbs, known as Greater London, cover an
area of some 1,570 sq km (606 sq miles). The West End, where many
of the most famous sights are found, sits on the north side of the River
Thames and stretches from the edge of Hyde Park to Covent Garden,
while the main business and financial district lies further east in the
ancient City of London. Exclusive Kensington, known for its high-end
shops and residences, is home to three of London’s finest museums.
