London is one of the most visited cities in the world and the nerve center of sectors as important worldwide as fashion, cinema or music. Big and with a lot to see, no matter what corner you visit, everyone has something to fall in love with, from narrow streets to immense gardens, in this city you will never be bored. Of all the monuments of London, which are many and would give to write for months only about it, I would highlight five, which are also an essential visit if you are going to travel to London:
– Tower Bridge: The Tower Bridge, over the River Thames, is one of the best known in the world and also one of the symbols of the city. Its floor is raised in less than a minute so that boats can pass. From there you have spectacular views of London and you can also visit the engine room, which is where the original steam engines that moved the arms of the bridge are. The Tower Bridge also has 3 rooms where everything from company activities to weddings are held.
– Tower of London: The Tower of London, an impressive place that was once a royal palace and fortress. There is the Royal Armory and you can also see the extensive collection of jewelry and clothing that have been used for the coronation. You can take a guided tour with the popular Beefeters, who will tell you all their history, imprisonments, executions and various anecdotes.
– Palace of Westminster / Big Ben: The famous clock tower is the most recognized image of London in the world, and to anyone who asks about the london landmarksIt will probably tell you Big Ben first. It is in the Palace of Westminster, which is where the two houses of the United Kingdom Parliament meet. Big Ben weighs about 8,700 tons, measures 96 meters and its four clocks are at 55.
– Buckingham palace: If you are traveling to London it is almost mandatory to go to Buckingham Palace (residence of the Queen of England) and see the changing of the guard. You can also take a guided tour inside and see the most important rooms and rooms of the Palace.
– London eye: It is my favorite attraction. A giant ferris wheel from which you can see the entire city at 135 meters high. If you can do it at night, much better. It was made to use it only for 5 years, which was the permission they granted, but seeing the incredible success they have continued to open it.
