London Attractions
Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
One of the most recognizable yet misidentified landmarks in all of the United Kingdom, Big Ben is an attraction that most tourists to London are adamant about seeing. Indeed, the famous clock Tower of the Westminster Palace is a wonderful sight to behold, but calling it “Big Ben” is a mistake. In fact, Big Ben cannot be seen as that name refers to the bell inside the clock tower and not the tower itself.
Buckingham Palace in London
The Palace stands in about 40 acres of garden and whilst the west facade of the palace building remains virtually as Nash designed it, the East Side facing the garden which had been added to in 1847 was replaced entirely in 1913. The interior houses the Throne Room, Music Room, State Dining Room, many beautifully decorated apartments, and a gallery of paintings and other works of art.
Hyde Park in London
Hyde Park, together with Kensington Gardens to the west, is the largest of the three royal parks. Hyde Park is home to a lake called The Serpentine. You can hire boats or even take a dip in the water. The lake has two cafe/restaurants, the Lido cafe (Next to the Diana Memorial fountain) serves fantastic homemade style hamburgers. If you fancy a walk, it takes approx 1.5 hours walk around the Serpentine.
London Eye
This is a great way to see a lot of London at one time. It is the now familiar Ferris wheel across the Thames River from Westminister Abby, Parliament. It is a 1/2 hour trip from beginning to end. Each is capsule is huge, able to hold 20 or so people and there is very little vibration. The view is spectacular.
London Zoo
With over 12,000 animals to see, the Zoo is well laid out with many childrenÂ’s attractions.
St James Park in London
The acres known as Green Park were added to St. James's Park in the late 17th Century by Charles II. Charles II preferred early morning walks along the Hyde Park Corner, an area now known as Constitution Hill
