    Some people might find it sad, but you and I know better: solo travel is great. It's empowering and freeing – and sure, it's also sometimes a little bit scarier than going with the comfort of a group. But that won't stop us from taking those solo trips when the mood strikes and the budget allows. London is one of those great places in the world where it's easy to travel solo – and there are lots of great things to do in London alone...

    As you walk around, one of the first things you'll notice is that London has a lot of street art – especially in certain areas of the city. Find yourself in Whitechapel, Shoreditch, or Camden, and you'll be astonished at the incredible artwork literally all around you. Most interesting for those not familiar with street art, there are actual masterpieces of the craft on public display and exposed to the elements – and the risk of being covered up by future works...

    As you plan a trip to London, it's hard to ignore the rich history of the city. There's the London Wall, remnants of when the Romans occupied this land some 2,000 years ago, and the Tower of London which dates back over a thousand years.
