London Attractions: Top 35

Trafalgar Square
The main square and the geographical center of the city, in the middle of which is built a 50-meter column of G. Nelson. It is worth coming here, for example, for the sake of visiting the portrait and national galleries. Here you can also take great memorable photos - Big Ben may be in the frame. On Trafalgar Square, temporary exhibitions of paintings by contemporary artists are organized and all kinds of folk celebrations are held, including Shrovetide.

Buckingham Palace
Even today, Buckingham Palace is home to representatives of the royal family of England. The complex, with an adjacent territory of 20 hectares, should be called a mini-city: it has its own police station, pub, post office. The main building has just under 800 halls, employing 700 workers. Please note: tours of the palace itself are held only in August-September. However, all year round and completely free of charge, you can watch the process of changing the royal guard.

Tower Bridge
Another correct option of what to see in London in 1 day is required for every guest of the city. The attraction is only a hundred years old. However, it is also considered the true symbol of the capital of Britain. By purchasing a ticket, you can visit the upper level of the structure - here guests are invited to watch a documentary film about its construction.

London Eye
Such sights of London cannot be ignored. The height of the giant Ferris wheel is 135 meters. Each of the 32 cabins, made entirely of glass (except for the floor), has air conditioning. The number of booths, in the shape of an egg, was not chosen by chance. It symbolizes the number of London Boroughs (excluding the City Borough). The wheel makes one full circle with stops every half an hour. During this time, you will have time to look at many of the main attractions of London (we will briefly list them for you).

St. Paul's Cathedral
If your trip to London is connected with the desire to get acquainted with unique architectural monuments, take a trip to the city center to this majestic cathedral. The impressive dimensions make the church of St. Peter, made in the Baroque and Renaissance styles, one of the largest in Europe and the world. The date of construction is the 7th century. Of great interest is the dome of the building, lined with lead plates.

Tower of London
Like many of the best attractions in London, this one has a long history. The construction of the fortress, towering on the banks of the River Thames, began over 900 years ago. The building was intended for the conclusion of influential prisoners, including representatives of the royal families. Mary Tudor, Anne Boleyn, and Thomas More have been here. In certain years, it was also used as a royal residence. The fortress lost its main purpose only in the middle of the 20th century
