Top tips for London to Chennai
Take to the temple
Book London to Chennai flights and you’ll notice a stark contrast in the architecture of the two cities. London’s iconic stone and marble buildings are a world away from the bright colours of Chennai.
Head to one of the city’s most traditional neighbourhoods, such as Mylapore, and marvel at the ornately decorated Kapaleeshwarar Temple – a stunning Hindu structure.
Bask on the beach
While Londoners have to jump on a train for a beach experience, Chennai is blessed with one of the longest urban beaches in the world, right on its doorstep.
Marina Beach spans eight miles of golden coastline and is lined with vendors selling local products. Be sure to catch one of the memorable sunsets here.
