Big ben (london's attractions):
Big Ben is the name given to the large bell on top of the Palace of Westminster Clock Tower. However, the English use this term more generally to designate the tower. This monument is one of the symbols of the British capital, and a must-see for tourists. The 96-meter-high clock tower was built between 1843 and 1859, and renamed "Elizabeth Tower" in 2012 in honor of Queen Elizabeth II, who celebrated her Diamond Jubilee.
Westminster Abbey:
Westminster Abbey is London's best-known religious monument. It is there that the kings and queens of England are buried, as well as certain personalities. This abbey was also the place of coronation of almost all the monarchs of the country. Its construction began in the 13th century, and lasted almost 300 years. Since 1985, the building has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a must see tourist spot for history lovers.
The London Eye:
The London Eye is a 135 meter high Ferris wheel located on the banks of the Thames. It was inaugurated to celebrate the year 2000, which also earned it the nickname "Millennium Wheel". If you want to see London from a different perspective, take a seat in one of the attraction's gondolas. With the district of Westminster and Big Ben nearby, the London Eye offers an exceptional panorama of the London capital. And to benefit from an illuminated landscape, the wheel is illuminated at night.
Soho neighborhood:
The district of Soho is the smallest of the British capital. Known for its social mix, it is home to London's Chinatown, a stone's throw from the main square of Trafalgar Square, and many gay establishments. Ideal for going out, the area is full of bars and nightclubs, as well as concert halls and cinemas. To enjoy a lively London night out, this popular area is the best option.
Picadilly Circus:
Picadilly Circus is a very touristic place, also popular with locals. This road junction has a square where is located a fountain with an angel of Christian charity. And above all, the originality of this place is the set of illuminated advertising signs that recall the famous Times Square in New York. The neighborhood is dynamic. It is home to Oxford Street, a long adjoining street known for its many shops. The shopping paradise !
The British Museum:
If there was only one museum in London to be chosen, this would be this one. The British Museum is England’s most visited tourist site, with more than 6 million admissions per year. Open to the public since 1749, it is a veritable gold mine dedicated to the history and culture of man. Its collections are made up of more than 7 million objects from all continents. This museum is free for everyone, so not to be missed. Plan a day to visit the entire site.
Buckingham Palace:
What would England be without its royal family, a true symbol of the country? Buckingham Palace, home to British rulers, is a must-see when visiting London. Countless tourists flock to the palace daily for a chance to spot a member of the Royal Family and to witness the Changing of the Guard at 11:30 a.m. (daily from April to July, and every other day on rest of the year).
Hyde Park:
It is the largest park in London, covering an area of 140 hectares. Hyde Park is one of the 9 Royal Parks in the city. Take a breath of fresh air by walking or cycling the paths of the park, and enjoy a romantic boat ride on the Serpentine. You will meet swans, ducks and squirrels. And there you can find a Speaker's Corner, or "speaker's corner", a place where everyone is free to speak in front of the audience.
Tower bridge:
Tower Bridge is a 65 meter high and 250 meter long bridge crossing the Thames. Its architecture is special since this bridge consists of two large towers connected by two high pedestrian paths and by a platform that opens to let boats pass. If you want a good angle to take a picture of it, stand by the Thames, both during the day and at night when it's lit up.
Camden Town:
Camden Town is London's alternative and trendy district. During your visit to the capital, plan at least half a day to wander the alleys of this district. You will be able to observe street art and soak up the surrounding punk and gothic culture. This colorful underground district is also filled with markets where you will find all kinds of rock-style clothes, and where you can eat at low cost thanks to the great variety of food trucks.
