the famous attractions
in London
Founded
in 1753, the British Museum’s remarkable collection spans over two million years of human history. Enjoy a unique comparison of the treasures of world cultures under one roof, centred around the magnificent Great Court.
Elizabeth Tower
The Houses of Parliament and the clock tower, commonly called Big Ben, are among London's most iconic landmarks. London's Big Ben clock tower is to be renamed Elizabeth Tower to mark the queen's 60th year on the British throne. Technically, Big Ben is the massive bell inside the clock tower, which weighs more than 13 tons. Big Ben's timekeeping is strictly regulated by a stack of coins placed on the huge pendulum. Even after a bomb destroyed the Commons chamber during the Second World War, the clock tower survived and Big Ben continued to strike the hours. A special light above the clock faces is also illuminated, letting the public know when parliament is in session.
Tower Bridge
Over 100 years ago, the Victorians built a bridge that has become one of London's most famous landmarks. High level walkways were built to allow people to cross the Thames whilst the Bridge was lifted to let tall ships sail past. Inside the Tower Bridge Exhibition you will learn all about how the World's most famous bridge works and the history behind its creation. Enjoy the panoramic views from the walkways situated 45 metres above the Thames and visit the original Victorian engines.
No other area of Britain is as rich in history, tradition, and cultural associations as London. Throughout the capital there are great mansions, venerable old buildings, quaint houses, unrivalled collections of art treasures, tremendous sweeps of glorious parkland and colorful ceremonies to suit every possible taste and mood. History is from there and ,of course, it is worthwhile visiting London.
