With busy work and school schedules, vacations today are often limited to a week or less. When youre in the mood for international travel that fits a busy lifestyle, try a London vacation.

If youre flying solo or with a small group, you may want to splurge to make the most of your time abroad. A great way to start your trip on the right foot is to travel uppa class. Virgin Airlines Upper Class is the height of luxury - youre pampered from the minute you leave the house as their driver whisks you off to the airport.

When on your London vacation, do as the fashionable British do. Book a hotel in the heart of Knightsbridge where affluent locals and international visitors shop, dine and go clubbing. For lodging, the four star Millenium Hotel is located amidst a wealth of exclusive designer houses and famous department stores. Hyde Park and plenty of major museums and attractions are close by. If youd like something more intimate and less expensive, try the Basil Street Hotel or many of the smaller choices in and around the area.

Take your walking shoes, because you wont want to miss all the sights and historical landmarks London has to offer. You might want to take a double-decker bus around town your first day to get your bearings. Must sees include Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey. Walking tours of Londons most colorful areas abound, as do the wonderful little taxis that whisk visitors around the heart of London. If you dont have nerves of steel, avoid renting a car. You wont need it unless you want to venture into the countryside.
