London voted 2019 best destination

London has just been named as the best-rated destination in the World, Europe and UK and Channel Islands in the  2019 TripAdvisor’s annual Travellers’ Choice awards for Destinations.

The winning destinations were determined using an algorithm based on reviews and ratings for hotels, restaurants and experiences over a 12-month period.

Hayley Coleman, TripAdvisor spokesperson, said in a statement: “The global fascination with Harry and Meghan clearly has a powerful effect as this is the first time since 2016 that London has topped the world rankings. With the couple’s new Royal baby due imminently, London may continue to reap the rewards of the Harry and Meghan effect into 2020.”

With millions of travellers flocking to see these iconic destinations each year, London alone receives around 30 million visitors per year and TripAdvisor recommends visiting either side of the peak season to have a better experience of the city with fewer crowds.

The UK has a well-connected transport system, so if you are visiting London, a train ride to nearby cities is easy and relatively inexpensive if booked in advance.  The bus system also means hopping on and off for one stop to another enable travellers to see the sights of the city while on the go.

Boasting its multi-ethnic background London offers more than sightseeing, with endless restaurants, takeaways, bakeries and quick street food to be explored London offers travellers the taste of the word in one place. Ensuring visitors will able to find a palate they enjoy.
