Top Ten Things to Do in London

Have you ever wanted to visit one of the world’s most historical places but didn’t know where to go? I have just visited London and have some

great suggestions.

Big BenThe Clock Tower in

London. It is the largest and tallest

4 faced clock tower in the world.

Every hour you can hear its six

bells ring. On New Years Eve I

watched London count down to

midnight by Big Ben and hear the clock tower ring.

Tower Bridge

A Victorian Gothic style bridge over River Thames It is bascule and suspension bridge combined and

was first designed and built around 1876.

Houses of Parliament(Palace of Westminster)

Built in 1265 it was and still is a meeting place for the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

This is a very grand and majestic sight to see across the water.

The London Eye

The world’s largest observation wheel at 135 meters high, it offers a fantastic view of London.

You can see it from almost everywhere in London!

Buckingham Palace

Buckingham Palace is the Queen's official London residence and has 775 rooms. This is where you

often see the famous guards who don’t flinch.

Tower Of London

Initiated by William the Conqueror and constructed in 1070 to celebrate his victory at Hastings. The tower of London has become

London’s symbol.

Windsor Castle

Was a castle also built by William the Conquerer in the 10th century to protect London from its

enemies. It was rebuilt by Henry II in 1170. This castle is amazing because it looks like the ones

you see in storybooks.

Westminster Abbey

The Burial Place of English Kings and Queens and where many Coronations take place. It was

constructed in 1503.

Trafalgar Square

The largest square in London and it is 200 years old. It was built for the victory in Trafalgar Battle and is the setting for most celebrations. This is a great place to get away from the crowded streets

of London and go for a walk.

Stonehenge

A mysterious giant stone alignment that works as a calendar. Scientists believe it was constructed

in 3000 B.C. This is the second time I have visited this amazing formation. On the summer solstice in June the sun lines up perfectly with

the stones and it looks really cool.

The End!

Happy Travels!
