London, the capital of both England and the United Kingdom, is one of the most important cities in the world.
Big Ben, the massive bell inside the clock tower in the Houses of Parliament, which was renamed Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to commemorate Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee, is perhaps the most iconic monument in the United Kingdom. Piccadilly Circus and Trafalgar Square are the two most famous public spaces. The English royal family is a tourist attraction itself, as Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the reigning monarch, and Westminster Abbey, where the British coronations occur, are some of the most visited places. If you got curious, the city cams will take you there.
Cross the Tower Bridge over the Thames River, visit the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral, and try the London Eye for amazing panoramic views of the whole city. For entertainment, choose one of the many events that take place in The O2 Arena.
