2018 has been a great year for London,
from taking the world stage with a special
year of Royal fever, to supporting our
national football team in the World Cup
and even basking in what could be our
hottest summer on record. London offers
a huge wealth of different experiences
across the city, making it a destination that
truly has something for everyone, no matter what they’re looking for. Visitors
can really celebrate London and experience this wonderful city to the fullest.
At our own family of Merlin Entertainments London attractions we reflect the
diversity the city has to offer through creating amazing days out and magical
memories in the heart of London. You can get up close to the monarchy on
their royal balcony or strum your guitar with Ed Sheeran at Madame Tussauds
in Baker Street, and meet even more famous faces on your tour of Far Far
Away at Shrek’s Adventure! London on the South Bank. Alternatively get a
more moving perspective of the skyline with breath taking 360 degree views
from a London Eye capsule before delving deep into the murky past of the
capital at the thrilling London Dungeon. Finally, be transported beneath the
waves at SEA LIFE London and trek through the rainforest before coming up
for air in Antarctica to say hello to some inquisitive penguins.
Can’t decide? You don’t need to – we know that guests are always looking
for the best offer to fit their time and budget so we’ve tried to make it easy to
design bespoke combination ticket packages at MerlinsMagicalLondon.com
creating a portal to an unforgettable visit.
With all this in mind, we hope this issue of This Is London will inspire you
to celebrate the capital in all its glory this summer!
