London has been listed as the best destination in the world by Tripadvisor in their annual Travellers’ Choice Awards.

The Best of the Best Destination

The Best of the Best Destination award included categories for trending, food, culture, honeymoon, solo travel, 25th anniversary, and overall winners. We are extremely proud that London scored highly across the board and pipped Bali and Dubai for the top spot.

Tripadvisor’s comment

Tripadvisor explain: “The Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.

From Shoreditch’s swaggering style to Camden’s punky vibe and chic Portobello Road, London is many worlds in one. The city’s energy means that no two days are the same. Explore royal or historic sites, tick off landmarks from your bucket list, eat and drink in exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants, enjoy a pint in a traditional pub, or get lost down winding cobbled streets and see what you stumble across – when it comes to London, the possibilities are endless.”

London in 2025
