One of my favorite cities is London; I was actually born there so I may be a bit partial! London is the largest of the cities in the UK and so full of things to see and do that you can go over and over and always have new experiences.
Let’s start with the obvious like Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, The Tower of London, Big Ben, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Tower Bridge. From there you can visit such sites as the London Bridge, London Aquarium, the London Eye and the London Dungeons. There are monuments everywhere but don’t miss the Marble Arch or Nelsons Column in Trafalgar square.
Why not take a stroll in Hyde Park, Regent’s Park, St. James Park, Kensington Gardens or Kew Gardens. You can people watch everywhere in London but at Piccadilly Circus it’s a swirl of people, traffic and lights and non-stop action day or night. How about shopping? There’s Oxford Street, Fleet Street, Regent Street, the Strand, Harrods and the list goes on.
There are too many museums and galleries to mention, but a few are the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate Gallery, National Gallery and the Natural History Museum. And you can’t forget cathedrals such as St. Paul’s, Westminster and Southwark Cathedral. There’s Covent Garden and the Theater district, Trocadero, the up and coming Docklands area and again the list goes on and on.
The Tube, London’s underground is one of the best I’ve been on and will get you anywhere and everywhere easily so don’t be shy about using it. So my message, make sure you have time when you’re in London, there is so much to see and if possible go again and again to see new things each time.
