If you are visiting London, then there is no end of places to visit. This vibrant, bustling city has something for everyone, whether you are looking to experience the culture, do some shopping, or simply relax by the River Thames. However, there are some tourist attractions you should definitely think about visiting while you are in the area.

London is, of course, famous for Buckingham Palace, located next to St James’s Park. You can see the palace from the park, and the daily Changing of the Guard ceremony can be witnessed from outside the front gates every morning. However, admission to some areas of the palace is also available for a price, and this is something you may want to consider.
The Tower of London is one of the city’s unmissable sights. It is the home of the Crown Jewels, which are on display here, and was also one of London’s most famous prisons for many years. Keep a look out for the ravens in the tower – tradition says that the kingdom and the tower will fall if the ravens ever leave.
Built for the Millennium celebrations, the London Eye has become one of the city’s most popular attractions. It can be found on the banks of the River Thames, and the thirty minute ride offers unrivalled views.
There are also a large number of museums located in London, the majority of which offer free admission. The Natural History Museum and the Science Museum, located next door to one another, are always popular, and both will usually have, in addition to the permanent displays, a range of temporary exhibits.
Of course, no trip to London would be complete without a visit to the West End to see one of the famous theatre shows. There is always a wide selection, and ticketscan either be prebooked or purchased on the day, though availability may be limited.
