Living in London

It would be limiting to define London as just the capital city of UK, as it became the neuralgic centre of Europe, both from an economic and social point of view. London is a crossroads of different cultures, ethnic groups and traditions, which, by crossing each other, colour the city, making it welcoming and inimitable under many points of view. Therefore, not just a tourist itinerary, but also a destination for entrepreneurs and students looking for work, the Great Metropolis deserves to be known in depth, offering countless opportunities to anyone who is willing to look for them. Although 2013 has confirmed the British museum and St.Paul cathedral, among the most popular tourist attractions in the city, there are many other attractions, museums, clubs and restaurants where you can spend your free time, and there are many other opportunities that could be considered as trampolines to boost one’s career in the work and business environment.
