A fabulous city which preserves its majesty almost everywhere you go. I felt protected by the royal guard, the beefeaters anf the policemen all over the places.
London is the political, economic and cultural capital of Britain. You can visit the Queen’s official residence at Buckingham Palace and tour the Houses of Parliament, the historic home of the UK government.
The river Thames runs through the heart of London, from Richmond in the west, through the central London borough of Westminster, to Greenwich in the east. London river cruises and river buses are a great way to see the city.
Buckingham Palace,the place where I spent half of the day, to see the entire parade.The Guard that looks after Buckingham Palace is called The Queen’s Guard and is divided into two Detachments: the Buckingham Palace Detachment (responsible for guarding Buckingham Palace) and the St James’s Palace Detachment (responsible for guarding St James’s Palace).
All the guards taking part in the ceremony are dressed in traditional red tunics and bearskin hats, and the ceremony is set to music.Changing the Guard also takes place at Windsor Castle and at Horse Guards Arch on Horse Guards Parade.
London is also home to some of the most famous and iconic attractions in the world – from Big Ben and the red telephone box, to black cabs and Tate Modern. Tower Bridge is truly magnificent! It’s great to see the bridge open to let ships through, which happens more often than you’d think; around 900 times a year. Walking across the bridge, you see amazing views of London.
There are lots of exhibitions in the White Tower, the Amouries section is the first part you go into and very impressive. There are a lot of displays and not much space to walk around them so felt very busy. I also enjoyed the wall walks and views inside and outside of the Tower.
A perfect and marvelous work of art from top to bottom. It’s breathtakingly beautiful and majestic without being presumptuous. It doesn’t matter if you’re a spiritual and/or religious person, you’ll definitely love this place and take it in your mind and soul forever!
It embodies the spiritual life and heritage of the British people. St Paul’s Cathedral acts as an important meeting place for people and ideas, as a centre for the arts, learning and public debate.
St Paul’s is the Cathedral of the Diocese of London. The Diocese is made up of five episcopal areas: Willesden, Edmonton, Stepney, London and Kensington. Crypts are a must visit with the tombs of Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington and Sir Christopher Wren amongst many
Westminster Abbey
It is the place where every King and Queen has been crowned since 1066, and it’s also the final resting place for many sovereigns, politicians and artists: it has to be one of London’s greatest icons. If you do not mind queing for many minute,then this place is going to become one of your deareset memories. The audio guide offers you the superb voice of mister Jeremy Irons. The exterior of this fine building is imposing with its magnificent stone walls, fine windows and intricately carved statues at elevated positions around the walls. The colour, adornments, finely carved marble & stone tombs are astounding. The high vaulted ceilings and the enormous dimensions of the church are breathtaking.
It stands on the site of the old Palace of Westminster. It’s a really stunning building: a real London icon. The clock tower is home to Big Ben.
It is an amazing place with incredible art work.
So many paintings, huge rooms and incredibly famous painters. This is what the free of charge museum offers us.This place is amazing not only is the art work breathtaking but the building its self is incredible, they are constantly having very interesting exhibits.
If you are in London this is a must see.
