See Westminster

Home to the world-famous Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, Westminster is known as the political hub of London. Here you will find Westminster Abbey, and the iconic clock tower, which chimes at the turn of every hour.

 

You can also take some time to relax in Parliament Square, where you will find such statues of political individuals like Winston Churchill and Mandela.

Hyde Park

One of the largest and possibly the most famous park in London, Hyde Park is significant for hosting quite a number of protests and demonstrations in the past, including ones during the time of the Suffragettes. The park is a must-visit for tourists, with its memorial features and lakes, which include The Serpentine, where people watch swans and enjoy paddle-boating.

 

The park also hosts a Speaker’s Corner where protests, debates and performance artists are hosted every week.

London Eye

A giant Ferris wheel which offers fantastic views of the city; the London Eye is an iconic structure which was first constructed to mark the turn of the millennium. The Eye is the location of London’s annual New Year’s fireworks display and at night, it is bathed in bright and beautiful seasonal colours.

 

Visitors can opt for a private pod, or choose to share a spacious pod with other visitors and enjoy the views. Just across from the Eye is the London Aquarium, which is home to aquatic creatures from all around the world and well worth a visit too.

Thames Cruise

England’s longest river, The popular Thames River leads into the North Sea, and has been significant since prehistoric times. It served as the base for multiple settlements and was of much import to English and Roman Kings, and also during the first and second World Wars.

 

A cruise across this lifeblood of the city, is run at 30 minute intervals from several key points in the city. Enjoy the views as you pass by a number of sightseeing locations like the Houses of Parliament, the London Eye, and the Tower Bridge. The night cruises are especially beautiful when these locations are all lit up and brought to life in colour. A visit to London is incomplete without a cruise on the Thames.

London Cuisine

Be sure to try the famous London fish and chips, or a true English breakfast, which consists of bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, baked beans, black pudding and fried bread. Other tasty foods you could try are bangers and mash, a Yorkshire pudding, roast beef or a Ploughman's Lunch.

 

It will be difficult to find Welsh rarebit with sprinkled baked cheddar. But if you do find it, get also Old Specled Hen beer. Or cider with rich, sweet taste. By the way, takeaway food is cheaper thus more common in London.

 

Portions are usually large. For breakfast, you can have beans or mashed green peas with toasts. On weekends farmers gather on market sqaures and cook food on the streets. Here you can try Asian or Turkish cruisine, mushroom pies and baked potatoes, Spanish sausages, cottage cheese and even dandelion lemonade. Also, you haven’t truly visited London until you’ve had English tea or a beer at a pub. Many delicious feasts await those who buy tickets to London.
