London is (arguably) the center of the Western world, and it is without a doubt one of the most inspiring cities that we've had a chance to visit.  As the Capital of England, and the heart of the former British Empire, London has established itself as one of the greatest cultural and financial centers in history.  

It's hard to ignore the historical significance of everything that London has played host to over the centuries: Dickens' literature, Shakespeare's plays, Turner's paintings, and Churchill's resolve all come to mind, as does the heroics of fictional cultural icons like James Bond, Sherlock Holmes, and Doctor Who.
