The Capital was voted the best place in the country for restaurants, and the second best for shopping, history, entertainment and romance. It came second only to York in the survey by holiday letting agency, cottages4you.

The company's managing director Geoff Cowley said: "Although London is a great place to visit, our survey found towns and cities outside the capital are increasingly popular."
