About London

London, the capital city of England, needs little introduction. Located in the South-east of the country, on the banks of the river Thames and just 50 miles upstream from its estuary with the North Sea. The city can trace its roots back as far as Roman times and offers a wealth of incredible architecture. From iconic “Big Ben” to the imposing Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey to the London Eye and the incredible panoramic views that it offers over the South Bank and the rest of the city, London draws a significant number of visitors every year. Its number of hotels, things to see and do and of course its transport links make it an ideal location to attend a project management course.

London is served by a very wide-ranging transport network, making it a very accessible city. London has 6 airports, all of which are linked to the city centre with good public transport links. These airports link London not only to other cities within the UK but also to Europe and the rest of the world, with flights arriving continually – around 128,000 passengers use Heathrow every day. As the centre of an extensive travel network London is served by four main train lines which link it to every corner of the UK. St Pancras International Station also links London to France and further afield via the Eurostar train.

National Express coaches run regularly to London from cities all over the UK as well, and from the coach station, there are plenty of public transport options to travel across the city.

London is also easy to reach by road. The M1, M3, M4, M11, M20, M25 and M40 motorways are all in or near London and connect it to the rest of the country in all directions. If you are considering driving to London, however, it is worth reading up on both the congestion charge and the low emissions zone, both of which are in operation within the city centre.

 

 

Many project management courses can last several days, so finding local accommodation is a good idea. You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to hotels in London.

Restaurants in London

London is well known for its range of incredible restaurants, and you are certain to find almost every type of cuisine you can imagine here. There are over 100 restaurants in London’s Chinatown (located in the City of Westminster, with Soho to the north and west and Theatreland to the south and east). It is also home to over 70 restaurants with Michelin stars, and The Harwood Arms (Walham Grove, SW6 1QJ) is the only pub in London with a Michelin star.

Amongst the most popular Michelin star restaurants that you may want to consider are Hélène Darroze at The Connaught (in Mayfair at 16 Carlos Place, W1K 2AL) for a more traditional French menu, Dinner by Heston Blumenthal (in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel at 66 Knightsbridge, London SW1X 7LA) for a very modern twist, and Restaurant St Barts (in Smithfield at 63 Bartholomew Close, EC1A 7BF) where the menu focuses on foraged ingredients.
