London, the English capital, is home to some of the world’s most instantly recognisable landmarks. From the Prime Minister’s residence at Downing Street to Big Ben and the Buckingham Palace, there is no dearth of attractions to explore. Although the city may have a reputation for being somewhat straitlaced, London is fun and full of energy. The city has a calendar packed full of events and visitors will always find something interesting to do.

The International Wimbledon Music Festival is an annual event that was held for the fourth time in 2012. The festival celebrates classical music and has performances by a variety of famous artists. It was started in 2009 with just twelve events on the schedule. That number increased to eighteen the following year. The most recent edition in 2012 featured twenty three events and performances by internationally renowned artists. The concert events are generally held in historic buildings across London, so one not only gets to enjoy a world class performance but also a wonderful setting.

Dates and artists for 2013 have not been announced yet. However, those interested can check out the official website for more information and updates. Tourists who will not be able to attend the International Wimbledon Music Festival need not worry as there are plenty of live performances held in the city throughout the year that they can attend.

Although it is such a large city, getting around London’s thirty two boroughs will not be too difficult thanks to the excellent public transport system. Not only is the public transport system efficient and extensive, it is also easy to use making navigating the sprawling metropolis a somewhat easy task. One can also use special tour buses that stop at various attractions within the city.
