Meet us in London while you make the most of your summer break

London continues to enchant and captivate visitors from around the globe, making it Europe’s most visited city. Tourists from Singapore, in particular, have long favoured the UK capital as a top holiday destination, with over 183,000 visitors making their way from the Lion City to the UK in 2022, even amid lingering COVID-19 travel restrictions. This enduring attraction is not only due to the shared history and language, thanks to the Commonwealth connection, but also extends to the strong cultural and investment ties that bind both countries. In fact, in the past three years, the UK has garnered 6.6% of all outbound property inquiries from Singapore, trailing only Australia for the top spot outside Asia.

With summer holidays around the corner from late May to the last week of June, tourists from Singapore have a wealth of attractions awaiting them. London, rich in history and buzzing with activity, offers an abundance of sights, such as Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, and the serene expanses of Hyde Park. But there’s more to this city than just its landmarks.
