Cheap flights from Perth to London are a great way to begin a UK adventure. Though you may plan to continue on to Scotland or Ireland, the city of London demands at least a few days stay. London is after all, one of the most iconic cities in the world - the birth place of punk, home to the Queen and host of the 2012 Olympic Games. It's decadent, diverse and can't help but demand your attention.

Once you've settled into the swing of things and ticked the usual tourist suspects off your list, head to Covent Garden for a spot of retail therapy. This area is one of London's main shopping districts and where you will find a wide range of high street stores including Mango, Zara and Marks & Spencer. Another shopping destination not to be missed is Harrods. Even if retail isn't you idea of fun, buying a souvenir from the historic department store is a must.

For more eclectic browsing, Notting Hill is where you'll want to head. Made famous by the movie of the same name, Notting Hill is beloved for its eclectic community and colourful markets, including Portobello Road Markets. If you are in London in August, don't miss the famous Notting Hill Carnival which attracts over one million people each year.
