Travellers will often want to head on holiday with their families and may need to think about what pleases the elderly members of the group. Luckily the English capital caters for all ages of tourists, so there is plenty for them to see and do for free. A great place to take fellow travellers of an older age is the wonderful National Gallery. This exquisite destination is located in the vibrant Trafalgar Square and includes paintings from incredible artists such as Rubens and Michelangelo. All visitors will appreciate a beautiful building and it doesn’t get much better than heading to St Paul’s Cathedral that truly dominates the London skyline.

This stunning piece of architecture is definitely worth a visit when in the capital, as is the magnificent Westminster Abbey. If tourists attend a church service it is actually free to enter these popular destinations. Another great arts venue is The Wallace Collection, which sometimes gets overlooked due to the large amount of cultural destinations in the capital. This attraction is somewhat of a hidden gem and includes French 18th century paintings and furniture among other wonderful pieces of art. It has outstanding works by greats such as Titian and Rembrandt, and is only a five minute walk away from Oxford Circus tube station.

Tourists should make the choice of staying at a central London accommodation and pick a hotel near Bayswater station. This puts them right at the heart of the city and close to many attractions and sights. The best place to choose in this situation is the MStay Hyde Park hotel that offers excellent rooms with many modern comforts such as an LCD digital television and complimentary Wi-Fi. This hotel is great for business and leisure guests who will feel very comfortable especially due to the amazing staff service. The rooms also have a kitchenette with hob as well as a private en-suite shower room. The residence is a lovely place to return to after a long day of sightseeing or working in the city of London.

A fabulous part of London is Hampstead Heath and tourists should definitely take their older travelling companions to this stunning green space. It’s a little quieter than the major parks in London such as Hyde Park, so is ideal for a relaxing time away from the bustling city centre. Tourists can walk up to the top of Parliament Hill to admire the capital. Nearby there is also Kenwood House that offers a beautiful building of a neoclassical white villa. There are many pieces of artwork inside that will impress visitors when they head to this great destination.

A day trip to Greenwich, in south London, is also a fun way to see a brilliant part of the city of London. Travellers can head to the Royal Observatory that played a huge role in the history of astronomy. Visitors should also have a wander of Greenwich Park and visit the wonderful market that offer amazing gifts and unique arts and crafts. A lovely walk that can be taken at a leisurely pace is from Little Venice to Camden Town along the gorgeous Regent’s Canal. Along the way tourists will come across many narrowboats and end up at Camden Market.
