Explore London's Top 10 Tourist Hot Spot's
1 - The Shard
Rise high above the City of London for spectacular views of London's iconic skyline from a unique perspective, with views stretching as far as 40 miles (64km). Spot the likes of the Coca-Cola London Eye, St Paul's Cathedral and Wembley Stadium from The View from The Shard's observation deck, which sits 800ft (244m) up Western Europe's tallest building.
2 - Tower Bridge
So the nursery rhyme goes "London Bridge is falling down", because the first London Bridge was made of wood and clay and was fortified. Many disasters struck the various bridges such as the Viking invasion which destroyed the bridge in the 1000. This leg to a fortified design, complete with a drawbridge.
Arguably one of the most is not
the
most famous bridge in the world. The London Tower Bridge is an iconic bridge, with spectacular views of the River Thames. One section of the Tower Bridge boasts a glass floor, another modern exhibitions and magnificent Victorian Engine Rooms! Whether you are a history buff, engine , a travel photographer, or just trying to absorb as much of london as you can - dont miss a selfie opportunity at the London Tower Bridge.
3 - Big Ben
& Westminster Abbey
The name Big Ben is this nick name used to describe The Elizabeth Tower, the clock and the bell at the end of the Palace of Westminster in London, but the name Big Ben
was actually first given to the Great Bell.
Big Ben
The tower celebrated its 150th Birthday on 31 May 2009.
Interesting fact - the Pendulum on the Clock weights 310kg! Big Ben truely is a spectacular structure.
A short hop, skip and a step from Big Ben (across the road) is the Westminster Abbey.
"The Abbey" is steeped in more than a thousand years of history. Benedictine monks first came to this site in the middle of the tenth century, establishing a tradition of daily worship. It is the burial place of seventeen monarchs. The present church, begun by Henry III in 1245, is one of the most important Medieval Gothic buildings in London.
The Abbey
is not only is a place of worship and tomb for great leaders but a museum of paintings, stained glass, and other artefacts. One of my favourite places to visit in London!
The London Eye is a giant ferris wheel that sits on the banks of the River Thames.
The London Eye is also know as the millenium wheel. The wheel is 443 feet (135 m) tall and like the Shard - offers breath taking views of the city.
The Tower of London is a historic stone castle also located on the banks of the River Thames. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078.
The Tower of London is rich in English history, besieged several times and re-purposed variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public record office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England. The castle was used as a prison from 1100 until 1952.
Buckingham Palace is the centrepiece of the UK’s constitutional monarchy and has been the official Royal Residence since 1837. Unfortunately the Royal Buckingham Palace is only open to visitors in the Summer Time.
Buckingham Palace has whopping 775 rooms and the building is 108 metres long across the front and 120 metres deep. I wouldnt like to be the one to have to keep that place tidy!
Just off of High Street in Kensington, The Kensington Palace is surrounded by immaculately kept and lush gardens, water features and canopy's of orchards. You can walk around for hours enjoying and taking in the beauty that the gardens hold.
It has been a residence of the British Royal Family since the 17th century, and is presently the official London residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
The State Rooms are open to the public and managed by an independent charity (Historic Royal Palaces, a nonprofit organization). The palace displays many paintings and artifacts from the Royal Collection.
Not everyone gets to live like this. Enjoy the taste of luxury.
8 -Harrods
Only the home of over 750 Luxury Brands! Need I say anything more?
Owned by the State of Qatar, this department store has to be the most famous department store in the world.
Whether you are looking for a new Prada handbag, a Victoria Beckham Coat, a Louis Vuitton leash for your furbaby or are just wanting to window shop then break for High Tea in their decadent Harrods Cafe - Harrods is a one stop shopping destination.
Oxford Street is Europe's busiest shopping hub, with around half a million daily visitors! Oxford Street is your local shopping "boulevard" on steraroids.
Oxofrd Circus is the Intersection of Oxford and Regent Streets. "Soho" the West End and "Theatre Land" scene is close by. Stop in and see a show - maybe The NutCracker or The Lion King? What ever is on.
10 -St Pauls Cathedral
St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican Church and is one of the most famous and well known sights of London. The gardens are glittered with monuments and statues such as "the young lovers". The Cathedrals dome is framed by the spires of Wren's City churches and it dominated the London skyline for over 300 years. It is 365 feet (111 m) high, which made it the tallest building in London from 1710 to 1967. The dome is among the highest in the world.
St Paul's Cathedral is a working church with hourly prayer and daily services - and like many churches is home to spectacular stained glass and religious art collections.
