Although attendances to London attractions are still growing, the level of growth in July was the lowest recorded for 12 months.

According to the London Attraction Monitor, visits to small attractions suffered a downturn in July, falling by 5 percent, resulting in the overall attendances in July improving by just 1.3 percent when compared to July 2006.

Despite the sluggish July figures, overall visit numbers for the summer were still up by 4.3 percent on last year.
