See the Latest Exhibitions in London

Online, October 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Heading to the capital is not only tempting for those who want to visit the many London attractions there are to see, but a trip to the city can also allow holidaymakers to take part in a variety of some of the biggest exhibitions.

Visiting art galleries and museums is always high on a tourist's list of things to do in London but people should also take time out of their busy schedule to find some of the lesser-known exhibits.

As the biggest city in the country, visitors can expect there to be a huge list of displays and shows being held - some of which only grace the capital with their presence.

There are the permanent exhibitions, the ones that last a couple months and a handful which only travel through for a few days.

A popular day out for tourists at the moment is to visit the Ministry of Food display at the Imperial War Museum. Being held until January 2011, this exhibition comes off the back of Jamie Oliver's TV show of the same title which was shown on Channel 4 last year.

The celebrity chef based his series on the advice given out during the Second World War from Lord Woolton's nutrition plan entitled Ministry of Food.

Attendees can expect to explore the many culinary challenges people faced during wartime, including managing tight rations and ensuring children received sufficient nutrients and calories.

Music lovers are also likely to be interested to travel to the Jimi Hendrix: Can You See Me? A Life Through The Lens... event being held this month celebrating the life and songs of the American artist through different images.

The work of photographers including Elliott Landy and David Montgomery will be on display to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the legendary guitarist's death.

Visitors heading to the capital should also look up what shows are taking place during the duration of their trip as a number of exhibits are open in the city every day.

One such exhibition is the National Wedding Show at Earl's Court 2, aimed at tempting budding brides all around the country to be a part of the biggest wedding fayre in the UK.

More than 300 exhibitors turn up at the event every year to give information, advice and even coaching to the happy couples. As well as visiting a number of stalls where they can pick up ideas, brides-to-be see the latest of this season's wedding dresses modelled on the catwalk or attend the How to Look Good Advice Clinic, where they can receive top beauty tips from celebrity stylists.

Another event that exemplifies the unique happenings that take place in the capital is the Ideal Home Show, which is being held between March 11th and 27th 2011.

As the UK's longest-running event after first taking place more than 100 years ago, it is hardly surprising that the Ideal Home Show 2010 saw more than 265,000 people to walk through its doors from all over the country.

This added to the 60 million visitors who have already attended the exhibition in the past.

The show, which is divided into departments for home improvement, home gadgets, ideal food, gardens and shopping, has activities, exhibitors and events that are intended to teach homeowners all they need to know about renovating or improving their houses.

People are therefore enticed to attend from all over the country to take part in the exhibition, with 40 per cent of last year's visitors stating that it was their first attendance.

For tourists looking for more permanent exhibitions, there is a never-ending list of events, galleries and exhibits being held in the city.

Some of the most well-known include a visit to Madame Tussauds where visitors can see their favourite stars immortalised in waxwork, the Winston Churchill's Britain at War Experience and the Tower of London, where tourists can take a look at the Royal family's crown jewels.

Whichever holidaymakers decide to visit, they are guaranteed to take with them the memory of an incomparable experience which can only be found in London.
