Things to do and places to
see
Witness Royalty at the
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham
Palace, the reigning monarch's formal palace and administrative center, is a
popular travel destination. It is situated in Westminster City.
One of
London's most recognisable structures, Buckingham Palace is well known for
hosting the city's most popular ceremonial event, the Changing of the Guard.
Every season, this event, which starts about 11:30 a.m., features precise
marching to music played by an orchestra. Since Queen Victoria, the Royal
family has resided in the Palace, which was constructed in 1837.
Witness the majestic Tower of
London
The Tower
of London, a royal fortress and a World Heritage Site that was established in
1066 and is situated in the center of the city, is a spectacular fortress with
a history that goes back many centuries. It is notable for having formerly been
a notorious jail. On a day excursion to this Tower, treat your eyes to the
renowned and rare jewels, the intriguingly old-fashioned architecture, and a
clear perspective of the River Thames.
The
massive Tower of London, which is situated in the heart of London and boasts a
view of the River Thames, has seen many storms since it was first built in
1078. A group of Royal Bodyguards, popularly known as Beefeaters, who serve as
tour guides also guard the palace.
Westminster Abbey
One of
London's most opulent and significant ecclesiastical buildings, Westminster
Abbey in the City of Westminster, is a historically significant 1,000-year-old
World Heritage Site. It is recognised for having held coronations, weddings,
and served as a burial ground for English and British monarchs in the past. It
is situated along the western bank of the River Thames. It receives over a
million tourists annually from all over the world. It has existed from the year
960 AD.
London Eye
The
Coca-Cola London Eye, which is at the city's center, might be considered the
city's beating heart. Overlooking the River Thames and the Houses of Parliament
as well as Big Ben, it smoothly revolves.
The South
Bank of the River Thames in the nation's capital is home to the enormous Ferris
wheel known as the London Eye. It's frequently called the Millennium wheel. It
is a structure that is 443 feet tall and 394 feet in circumference. The tallest
observation wheel in all of Europe, it was constructed to commemorate London's
millennium celebrations in 2000. The London Eye's separate glass capsules
provide visitors breathtaking vistas of the city as they ascend to the top.
Big Ben and Parliament
The Great
Bell of the clock, known as Big Ben, is located at the north end of the Palace
of Westminster. Its actual name is Elizabeth Tower, however it is also known as
a clock tower. It is right next to the parliamentary buildings.
Most tourists
associate London with Big Ben, which they view as an iconic structure. It has
been ticking 116 floors above ground level since May 1859, making it the most
recognisable clock in the entire globe. Only those who meet all the
requirements outlined by the British government and who have a contact in any
MP can request a tour of Big Ben and the Elizabeth Tower.
Where to stay
The West End
Unquestionably,
the greatest neighborhood to stay in London for sightseeing and shopping is the
West End, which commonly refers to Covent Garden, Piccadilly, and Leicester
Square. However, it offers a lot more than just West End theaters. However, if
you're searching for somewhere to stay in London while attending a play, this
is it. You can always find something to do, listen to music, or see a play, day
or night.
Westminster
Due to
attractions like The Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Square,
and the National Galleries, Westminster, which stretches back from the River
Thames, is at the top of many tourists' agendas when they come to London.
Westminster is the best area of London for tourists because of this.
The West
End is only a short stroll away, and most areas of London are easily accessible
by public transportation. Westminster comes out on top when it comes to the
finest area of London to stay in for sightseeing.
Soho
In
addition to having a variety of clubs and late-night bars, Soho is also close
to some of the capital's liveliest clubs. In the last ten years, trendy Soho
has witnessed a resurgence. An area of the city center that was formerly very
sleazy has been changed into one of the liveliest. Even though Soho is still a
bustling area with some of London's top bars and restaurants, it has also
welcomed a number of luxury hotels.
Best time to visit
London is
at its most pleasant from March through May, when the weather is moderate and
the parks are lush and in blossom. Late spring, like the summer, is a popular
time for tourists, and rates for hotels and flights reflect this. Even though
the weather may be chilly, the fall and winter are the best seasons to discover
cheap travel and lodging. Since December in London is also a very popular time
to visit over the holidays, expect to see many English and foreign travelers on
the streets. Bring an umbrella with you whenever you travel: Rain and hazy days
are commonplace in London all year round. Another thing to remember is that
it's really difficult to avoid crowds in London.
