London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/21/2011 -- England is truly a country that will enrapture and mesmerise you. Take a Christmas tour of London and marvel at the sheer array of potential things you can do in the capital. Alternatively, why not visit beautiful Bath, spectacular Stonehenge, lavish Leeds Castle or wondrous Windsor Castle? Or perhaps delve into the entrancing heritage bestowed to us by Shakespeare on a Stratford upon Avon tour. The possibilities are nigh endless.

Stratford upon Avon is, undeniably, chiefly renowned as the birthplace of Shakespeare. It is therefore a perfect town to explore if you have ever been captivated, as countless others all over the world have, by the writings of Shakespeare. Stratford charms approximately three million visitors per annum by Stratford Tour. Become enthralled when you visit the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, one of the most intriguing cultural venues in Britain.

Over the course of the last thirty years, over 10 million people have investigated spectacular Leeds Castle. You will not need to mull over why this is for too long when you experience it for yourself: it is exquisite. Acquire some Leeds Castle Tour tickets.

Perhaps as a quirky alternative to the grandeur of Windsor Tour, visit Legoland, Windsor, a truly idiosyncratic attraction, as almost all you see is creatively constructed from Lego. This child orientated theme park brings Lego to life with 50 interactive rides, live shows, building workshops, driving schools and attractions.

Or, if it is London tours you really wish to immerse yourself in over Christmas, there are an incredible number of possibilities. The Tower of London is an intensely overwhelming landmark. Did you know that, over 1,000 years, the Tower of London has served a wide range of diverse uses? It has been, at various points, a prison, Royal Palace, a mint, and, perhaps most strangely, even a zoo. It has been home to some remarkably violent, unruly and, on the whole, very controversial historical events.

London’s attractions can unquestionably be delved into meticulously on a bus tour. A hop on hop off London tour, for example, will likely include stops in near to the V&A, Science and Natural History museums and other enchanting cultural landmarks such as the illustrious Shakespeare’s Globe and ornate and historically resonant Westminster Abbey. Of course, one of the key attractions you must visit (and arguably the most famed) is incredible, world legendary Buckingham Palace.

Yet London Zoo is sure to appeal to adults and children alike, and is one of the UK's finest attractions. It is the world's oldest scientific zoo, run by the Zoological Society of London, and was established over 180 years ago. It can be discovered in the very core of London, in Regent's Park.

The question simply remains, therefore, which regions would you most like to delve into when you celebrate Christmas in London? There are so many captivating areas that are just waiting to be discovered.
