Things to Do in London

If you've ever been in New York City, you will notice that London has many similarities, including the Theater District, the tube (subway) system and Trafalgar Square, which is reminiscent of Times Square. When you are in an area, you will find that most of the main points of tourist interest are Within 4 to 5 miles apart. One of the best ways to get around is to take an Open Bus Tour, where you can get on and off all the main sights of the city in the entire city. The cost is approximately $ 24 million, which is currently around $ 34 U.S. dollars. Spend time around the area of Hyde Park, and you can walk to Kensington Gardens, the famous department store Harrods and the Victoria and Albert Museum. InHyde park, you can enjoy time at the lake with boats for rent. You can also pay to ride in the park, orwalk to see the Marble Arch, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus and St James' Park are all close together. Trafalgar Square is a 18-foot statue of Lord Nelson who was standing on top of a column of 171 ft. The square was built in his honor after his victory over Napoleon 1805th A short walk from Trafalgar Square, you can shop in Covent Garden area, eat in Chinatown, go to Parliament Square and Buckingham Palace. At Piccadilly Circus is the state of Eros. Piccadilly is very similar to Time Square in New York with neon signs, and is the entrance to the city's nightlife. There are lots of restaurants, shops and bars. Planet Hollywood and Hard Rock is in this area, if you get home sick for American food. Buckingham Palace was built in 1705th Between 1824 and 1831, George IV commissioned to extend the house into a large building, which was occupied first by Queen Victoria 1837th More work has been done on the front of the building by Sir Aston Webb 1913th The palace is now home to the current queen. State Rooms are open to the public until August and September. To see the changing of the guard takes place to 11 Monday to Saturday and 10am on Sunday. It costs nothing. Take a trip to Westminster Abbey. Westminster Abbey is a church, and a splendid example of medieval architecture. Coronation of Queen Elizabeth was held here in 1953, and the funeral of Princess Diana 1997th You can hear the choir sing at services each day at 5 or all services on Sunday. Jump back on the bus and next stop is to see is Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Big Ben huge departs the Palace of Westminster Clock Tower. In Parliament Square, you also see a statue of Winston Churchill. Come back on the bus and go more to the British Airways London Eye. The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel that allows you to fascinating view of parts of London. There are 21 enclosed capsules each with 25 people, and offers visibility in all directions. Arid at the London Eye takes approximately 30 minutes. On a clear day you can see about 25 miles across England. Nextyou canvisit theTower Bridge, Tower of London and The Monument. Tower of London is a fortress along the River. It takes about 2 hours to visit the area and see the crown jewels. The collection date back to1661 jewel. Coronation Jewels are on display also. The Imperial Crown has 2868 diamonds, sapphires, 17, 11 emeralds, 5 rubies and 273 pearls. It was designed 1937th Another thing you must do, in my opinion, is to take a cruise on the River Thames. Departure from Westminster Pier, London Eye and Pier Tower Pier. It may take a short boat trip from 20 to 30 minutes, or you can make an entire round trip, which lasts about 3 hours. Like buses, you can jump on, jump off all day. London is easy to get around, but if you do not feel comfortable trotting lingonberry subway, via thebuses or alongthe river, you can take a full day motor coach tour of London, that most visits Ihighlighted areas mentioned above. I recommend a package to London with at least 3 nights to enjoy the city, the more time if you plan to take some day trips to interesting areas of the Cotswolds, Warwick Castle, Stonehenge, Oxford and Bath.
