London Uk Tours

City Of London United Kingdom

No wonder London is one of the biggest tourist destinations in the world, drawing upwards of 20 million tourists from around the world each year. The capital of Britain is a lively art and entertainment hub (its theatres are still busy), and the country's music scene is still rocking 50 years after The Beatles.

London also has one of the largest concentrations of cultural attractions on the planet. You could spend countless days visiting London's best sightseeing places, from royal palaces to the People's Parliament, from museums and cathedrals to riding a giant Ferris wheel for spectacular views across the River Thames, without ever running out of interesting things to see and do. And many of the best places to visit are free, as an added bonus.

Palace of Buckingham and Changing the Guard : Buckingham Palace is also the site of London's most famous show of pomp and circumstance, the Changing of the Guard, one of Britain's most iconic buildings. This vibrant and free show of precision marching

Buckingham Palace was built in 1837 and, since Queen Victoria's accession, has been the Royal Family's London residence. Look at the flagpole at the top of the building if you're curious if the Queen is inside: if the Royal Standard flies day and night, she's at home. She and members of the Royal Family could also appear on the central balcony on special state occasions.

London Tower and Tower Bridge : Over the years, the majestic Tower of London has performed several different functions, from prison to castle, treasure vault to a private zoo. This magnificent World Heritage Site, one of Britain's most famous buildings, provides hours of wonder for tourists curious about the country's rich past-so much of it has happened here, after all.

The 17th-century Line of Kings, with its impressive displays of royal armaments and armor, is inside the colossal White Tower, built-in 1078 by William the Conqueror. The famous Crown Jewels show, the Beefeaters, the Royal Mint, and gruesome displays about the executions that took place on the grounds are other highlights. The adjoining Tower Bridge, with its two massive towers 200 feet above the Thames River, is one of London's most prominent landmarks.

Places To Visit In London

The Museum of Britain : The British Museum holds more than 13 million items from the ancient world, showcasing one of the world's finest collections of antiques. It's hard to know where to start, with precious artifacts from Assyria, Babylonia, China, Europe, and elsewhere. But most visitors go first to the most popular exhibits at the museum: the infamous Elgin Marbles.

Parliament and Big Ben : Nothing more emphatically shouts "London" than the 318-foot tower that houses the giant clock and its resounding bell known as Big Ben. It's as iconic a landmark as the Tower Bridge, and the Big Ben toll is recognized internationally as the BBC's time signal. The Houses of Parliament, the seat of Britain's government for many years and once the location of William the Conqueror's Royal Westminster Palace, are below it, stretching down the Thames.Tours of the buildings parliamentprovide a rare opportunity to see debates and vibrant political discussions in real-time.


Gallery of the Country : The National Gallery in London, ranked among the world's best art museums, represents an almost complete survey of European painting from 1260 to 1920. The museum's main assets are its collections of the 15th and 16th century Dutch Masters and Italian Schools

The Museum of Victoria and Albert : The Victoria and Albert Museum (aka the V&A) is part of a museum network located in South Kensington that includes the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Science. The V&A, founded in 1852, occupies nearly 13 acres and includes 145 galleries spanning some 5,000 years of art and related objects.

In a single visit, it's difficult to get through this huge museum, so the best way to approach it is to determine in advance which parts you want most to see. It is highly recommended and always free to take a V&A tour, with choices covering anything from regular introductory tours to particular galleries or themed tours. If you're around, check out one of the fun "Friday Late" services, famous for their food and drink experiences, along with late-night exhibition openings, held on the last Friday of the month.

Top Tourist Attractions In London

Circus at Piccadilly and Trafalgar Square : Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square, two of London's best-known tourist spots, sit not far apart and mark the gates to Soho, the vibrant theatre and entertainment district of London. To celebrate the victory of Lord Horatio Nelson over the French and Spanish at Trafalgar in 1805, Trafalgar Square was built. The 183-foot granite monument, Nelson's Column, overlooks the fountains and bronze reliefs of the square, cast from French cannons.. A popular phrase describing a busy and confusing scene is "It's like Piccadilly Circus"

THE SHARD : The Shard has taken its place as one of the most recognizable and most-visited landmarks in London since it opened in 2012. This remarkable building, so-named for its resemblance to a shard of glass, standing 1,016 feet tall and encompassing some 95 stories, dominates the skyline but, thanks to its pleasing architecture, when seen next to neighbors such as Tower Bridge, it does not seem at all out of place.

The Shard is home to a beautiful Shangri-La Hotel and three excellent restaurants, all boasting some of the most impressive views of London, in addition to its office space on the lower floors. The upper-most levels consist of a choice of viewing platforms for those not living here: indoor and outdoor.

Tate Britain and Tate Modern: London also has two Tate art galleries: Tate Britain and Tate Modern, once collectively known singularly as the Tate Museum. The original museum, consisting of one of the most important art collections in the world, opened in 1897 as the basis of a national collection of important British art, and continued to make purchases, requiring more space to view its collections properly.

The end result was the creation of Tate Britain, as home to its permanent collection of historic British paintings, in Millbank on the north side of the Thames. The contemporary art collections have become home to a superbly revamped power station across the Thames. Art lovers can spend an entire day exploring both places, conveniently linked by high-speed ferry. Better still, stroll over the Millennium Bridge, a footbridge linking the two sides of the Tate Modern Canal.

Best Things To Do In London

Abbey of Westminster : Westminster Abbey, another place with a long history with British royalty, stands on a site that has been synonymous with Christianity since the early 7th century. Westminster Abbey was founded by Edward the Confessor in 1065 as his place of interment, officially known as the Collegiate Church of St. Peter in Westminster.

Most sovereigns were not only crowned here but were also buried here, from his burial in 1066 until that of George II, nearly 700 years later. More recently, it has become popular for Royal Weddings as the chosen venue.

Not only does this masterpiece of Gothic architecture have England's highest Gothic nave (102 feet), it is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in London, attracting well over a million tourists per year and Dickens memorials; the Westminster Abbey Museum; and the stunning gardens.

Park Hyde : Hyde Park, covering 350 acres, is the largest open space in London and has been a refuge for sightseers since 1635. The Serpentine, an 18th-century man-made lake famous for boating and swimming, is among the highlights of the park. Hyde Park is also where Speakers' Corner, a traditional free speech and heckling forum, is situated. Apsley Residence, the former home of the first Duke of Wellington and acquired after his famous victory at Waterloo, is another Hyde Parklandmark.

Now a museum, it holds the splendid collections of Wellington's paintings, including The Waterseller of Seville by Velázquez, along with gifts given by grateful European kings and emperors. At Wellington Arch, England's greatest hero is also commemorated. Regent's Park is another beautiful London green space to be explored. This 410-acre attraction, only a short walk away from Westminster, is a pleasure to stroll around.
