London - extract from the Rough Guide to London

"For the visitor, too, London is a thrilling place ... the city is in a buoyant mood, particularly after winning the right to stage the Olympics in 2012. The facelift that the capital has undergone over the last decade or so has seen virtually every one of London's world-class museums, galleries and institutions reinvented, from the Royal Opera House to the British Museum. The city now boasts the world's largest modern-art gallery in Tate Modern, the tallest observation wheel in the London Eye, and two fantastic new pedestrian bridges that have helped transform the south bank of the Thames into a magnet for visitors and Londoners alike."
