England is a fantastic destination with a rich history, stunning national parks, beaches, museums, and so much more to discover. There are many wonderful places to visit in England from picturesque villages to cities that never sleep.

I’ve lived in England for most of my life and traveled the country widely. From the serene southeast where I grew up to the stunning coastlines of Cornwall and Devon, and northern gems like York, there’s an almost endless amount of beautiful places in England just waiting to be explored.

 

Although England has a somewhat negative reputation for its food, eating and drinking your way around the country is an absolute joy with so many cuisines to choose from. You can enjoy a Michelin-starred meal in London or a traditional pub lunch in a rustic inn.

1. London (One of the Best Places to Visit in England)

London is England’s beating heart and thriving capital and is one of the best cities to visit in England. There are so many amazing things to do in London from exploring the many museums such as the world-famous British Museum, Buckingham Palace, or the Tower of London.

I’ve lived in London on and off for years and love spending time exploring the galleries, large city parks, excellent restaurants, and of course some great bars and pubs too. London makes a great starting point on any trip to my home country and is certainly one of the top places to visit in England.

London is the perfect destination for first-time visitors, couples looking for a romantic weekend, and families too thanks to its many excellent attractions. Take in a show, watch the changing of the guard, shop ’til you drop, or just soak up the atmosphere of this world city.

Location: London is located in the southeast of England on the River Thames. It’s around 50 miles from the coast (the English Chanel) so there are lots of possibilities for day trips to the seaside.

Getting There: London is served by three major airports; Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted, all with excellent connections to the city center. London has rail connections to the rest of the UK and France and Belgium via the Eurostar.
