The British capital belongs to those cities that need no presentation. The megacity, founded by the Romans, offers millions of tourists not only a wide variety of tours, but also a variety of entertainment that meet your every need – from shopping to nightclubs, from museum visits to mini-cruises along the Thames. Not even a month is enough to see all the London attractions. However, a good sightseeing tour with a well-experienced guide will allow you to see those that define the unique appearance of this city. Those include:
- Big Ben. Built in 1859, the 96-meter clock tower became one of the symbols of the city.
- Trafalgar Square. It is impossible to come to London without going on a tour here: this square with the Nelson's Column is the true heart of London.
- Tower. Built in the 11th century, the castle at various times was a kings' residence, a mint, a main treasure house and a prison. It keeps memories of almost all the key events of English history in the 12th–17th centuries, so the guide has many things to tell to the tourists.
- Westminster Abbey. It has been a place of coronation of British monarchs for centuries, and many great men of England from Queen Elizabeth I to Darwin are buried there.
- Buckingham Palace. If you go on a tour of the royal residence and are accompanied by an English-speaking guide, you will learn a lot about the past and present of the British monarchy, and at the same time you will see a spectacular ceremony of the changing of the guards.
- Tower Bridge. The beautiful bridge seems to be a monument of the Middle Ages, although it was built more than a hundred years ago.
- Saint Paul's Cathedral. This Baroque architectural pearl is attractive not only for the majestic beauty of its interiors, but also for the city panorama from the dome gallery.
After exploring these attractions, it's worth taking a tour of Covent Garden and South Kensington, where a tour guide will tell you all about London's theatres and museums, and then take a ride on the London Eye panoramic wheel.
