London, England, is urban and hip, with history on every street corner and in every flower pot. It's where the bathroom is the "loo," where blood sausage is made, and where the Beatles reigned. The world's first underground railway is here, as well as one of the world's oldest surviving royal families. Whether you're exploring the Tower of London or the streets of Whitechapel, the history of the city will pull you back in time -- so watch out for "Jack" (the Ripper, that is)!
