London was named the world’s, Europe’s and the UK’s best destination in TripAdvisor's 2012 Travellers' Choice Destination Awards. With the Diamond Jubilee and Olympic Games fast approaching, it’s a well-timed triumph.
Following London in the world stakes were New York City and Rome, in second and third places respectively.
