Gatwick airport transfers to London can take you into the heart of one of the greatest cities in the world. These are just a few examples of the delights that may be waiting for you.

The southwest

This is the part of London that is probably the easiest to access when traveling by road on Gatwick airport transfers. It is an area rich in history and tourist attractions. These are just a few.

• Gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society in Wisley. It’s actually on the outskirts of London, near Woking in Surrey, but it contains one of the world’s largest collections of rare plants, shrubs and flowers.

• Hampton Court. This is the grand Tudor palace originally owned by Cardinal Wolsey and later by Henry VIII. It is one of the great national treasures of the United Kingdom.

• Kensington Palace. This is the surprisingly little-known palace where Queen Victoria was born and she received the news of her accession to the throne from her.

• Corner of Hyde Part. This is a famous spot in West London where the infamous ‘Tyburn Tree’ once stood which was used for London hangings for many centuries. If you’re staying in central London, you’ll probably stop by on your transfers to Gatwick airport. Today this area is also famous for being home to Speaker’s Corner, a place where, by tradition, the English have come for centuries to express their opinion on anything and anyone, without any threat of prosecution. In past times it was considered an essential part of freedom.

The South / Southeast

This part of London is also very easily accessible with Gatwick airport transfers, so if your accommodation is in this area, you may see some of these sights when you arrive.

• The Imperial War Museum. This is right on the Southbank area of ​​the Thames, but don’t let the name put you off. It’s actually a fascinating display of militaria that not only highlights humanity’s ingenuity in war, but also, paradoxically, its humanity.

• Greenwich Palace is an impressive set of buildings originally built (or converted) into a 17th century royal palace, but now houses the National Maritime Museum. There are stunning views up and down the Thames.

• Lullingstone Roman Villa, Kent. Just outside London’s south-eastern edge, in Kent, you’ll find one of Britain’s most impressive Roman villas. It is a fascinating dig located near the charming village of Eynsford.

• Shakespeare’s Globe Theater is a world famous recreation of Shakespeare’s original theatre, which was closed and demolished in the first half of the 17th century. This meticulous recreation is only about 230 meters from the site of the original and here you will be able to see Shakespeare’s plays in their surrounding context, as they would have been, roughly, in the 16th and early 17th centuries. It’s an experience not to be missed south of the Thames.
