When the City Beckons

London, the capital city awaits you. Whether you’re working in the inner city or popping up to meet friends the dynamic, fast paced motion of the busy streets and cosmopolitan vibe brings a new experience every single time you travel there. The sheer wealth of business opportunities and culture on offer is immense. World class universities lead the way in thought provoking studies and it is the pinnacle of media applications in the creative industry across the UK.

From the fresh independents of Shoreditch to the Ritz at Green Park, Buckingham Palace to the music pumping O2 Arena. Whether you’re having cereal at the Breakfast Club in Islington, exploring South Bank with its food stalls or Covent Garden with its street performers, all and more, is waiting to be discovered. It’s well worth taking a trip on the London Eye then hop on a river boat and take in all of the landmark sights from The Thames. Then, wait for nightfall and do it all over again - London with its lights is pure magic. There are a million reasons why it’s great that London is so close to No24 Duke Street. You just have to live there to see for yourself…
