This historical monument was built in 1843 as an addition to the Palace of Westminster after the old building was destroyed by a fire in 1834. The idea to construct Big Ben was that of Charles Barry, but the design itself was created by the architect Augustus Pugin.

The internal ticket with guided tuor cost is  £25.50

This attraction serves as a public park for visitors on top of a commercial building. Since the Garden is located on the 43rd floor, you will get a fantastic view of London at the top. You can pass by the Darwin Brasserie on the 36th floor if you want to grab a quick bite to eat before or after visiting the Sky Garden.

Before the museum was moved to Trafalgar Square, all the art collections were in Angerstein's former townhouse at No. 100 Pall Mall. Although the museum began with 38 paintings, it needed a change of location because of its increasing art collections.
Today, the National Gallery is home to some of the largest and most diverse painting collections globally. The museum also hosts several temporary exhibits annually.

Since the museum is free, it is usually crowded, so I recommend planning your day around the crowds. If you have no problem getting up earlier in the morning to explore, then this would be the best time to head to this attraction to skip the large groups.

The Globe is a near-perfect reconstruction of the former Elizabethan Globe playhouse. Those who visit can explore the theatre and participate in guided tours.

Go wild and climb atop one of Trafalgar Square’s enormous bronze lions. The big cats guard Nelson’s Column, a memorial to Admiral Horatio Nelson who died in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. With its glorious fountains and close proximity to the National Gallery, the square is always buzzing with activity.

Hyde Park covers a ground area of about 350 acres, serving as the habitat for over 4,000 animals alongside ornamental flower gardens and a large lake. When you travel to London for the first time, you will probably notice that the city is highly developed with not that many green spaces.

The park is a nice contrast to this and provides the most outdoor space in London - a great break from the concrete structures of the rest of the city.

With several activities being held at Hyde Park, ranging from festivals and shows, the park is always active with many tourists. This is the perfect place to be in London if you want to relax and enjoy nature after a stressful day.

One everyday activity done by tourists who visit the Tower Bridge for the first time is to walk across it while taking pictures along the way. The Bridge spoils you with a fantastic view of the River Thames.

If you are lucky enough, you might even get the opportunity to witness the lifting of the drawbridge when a large ship passes through it. Visiting the Tower Bridge introduces you to its history and provides you with beautiful panoramas of London.

Madame Tussauds London is a wax museum that was founded by the popular artist in 1835 on Baker Street, one of the most famous streets in London, to exhibit her wax masterpieces. She later moved the museum to its current location in 1894.

The wax museum is divided into sections like the Chamber of Horrors, areas for religious leaders and political. You can check out the wax sculptures of notable people like Justin Bieber, the Beatles, and even Queen Elizabeth II.

The Chamber of Horrors contains wax life-like sculptures of icons like Adolf Hitler and Vlad the Impaler from Transylvania. This is the place to be if you want to take pictures with the wax version of your favorite personalities.

After plans to build the 92-storey Millennium Tower were dropped, 30 St Mary Axe was designed by Norman Foster and the Arup Group. It was erected by Skanska; construction started in 2001.

The building has become a recognisable landmark of London, and it is one of the city's most widely recognised examples of contemporary architecture. It won the 2003 Emporis Skyscraper Award.

Originally known as Buckingham House, the building at the core of today's palace was a large townhouse built for the Duke of Buckingham in 1703 on a site that had been in private ownership for at least 150 years. It was acquired by King George III in 1761 as a private residence for Queen Charlotte and became known as The Queen's House. During the 19th century it was enlarged, principally by architects John Nash and Edward Blore, who constructed three wings around a central courtyard. Buckingham Palace became the London residence of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837.

The last major structural additions were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the East Front, which contains the well-known balcony on which the British royal family traditionally congregates to greet crowds. A German bomb destroyed the palace chapel during the Second World War; the Queen's Gallery was built on the site and opened to the public in 1962 to exhibit works of art from the Royal Collection.

The original early-19th-century interior designs, many of which survive, include widespread use of brightly coloured scagliola and blue and pink lapis, on the advice of Sir Charles Long. King Edward VII oversaw a partial redecoration in a Belle Époque cream and gold colour scheme. Many smaller reception rooms are furnished in the Chinese regency style with furniture and fittings brought from the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and from Carlton House. The palace has 775 rooms, and the garden is the largest private garden in London. The state rooms, used for official and state entertaining, are open to the public each year for most of August and September and on some days in winter and spring.

Construction of Belfast, the first ship in the Royal Navy to be named after the capital city of Northern Ireland and one of ten Town-class cruisers, began in December 1936. She was launched on St Patrick's Day 1938. Commissioned in early August 1939 shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War, Belfast was initially part of the British naval blockade against Germany. In November 1939, Belfast struck a German mine and, in spite of fears that she would be scrapped, spent more than two years undergoing extensive repairs. Belfast returned to action in November 1942 with improved firepower, radar equipment, and armour. Belfast saw action escorting Arctic convoys to the Soviet Union during 1943 and in December 1943 played an important role in the Battle of North Cape, assisting in the destruction of the German warship Scharnhorst. In June 1944, Belfast took part in Operation Overlord supporting the Normandy landings. In June 1945, she was redeployed to the Far East to join the British Pacific Fleet, arriving shortly before the end of the Second World War. Belfast saw further combat action in 1950–52 during the Korean War and underwent an extensive modernisation between 1956 and 1959. A number of further overseas commissions followed before she entered reserve in 1963.

In 1967, efforts were initiated to avert Belfast's expected scrapping and to preserve her as a museum ship. A joint committee of the Imperial War Museum, the National Maritime Museum, and the Ministry of Defence was established and then reported in June 1968 that preservation was practical. In 1971, however, the government decided against preservation, prompting the formation of the private HMS Belfast Trust to campaign for her preservation. The efforts of the Trust were successful, and the government transferred the ship to the Trust in July 1971. Brought to London, she was moored on the River Thames near Tower Bridge in the Pool of London. Opened to the public in October 1971, Belfast became a branch of the Imperial War Museum in 1978. A popular tourist attraction, Belfast received over 327,000 visitors in 2019.As a branch of a national museum and part of the National Historic Fleet, Belfast is supported by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, admissions income, and the museum's commercial activities.

Covent Garden falls within the London boroughs of Westminster and Camden and the parliamentary constituencies of Cities of London and Westminster and Holborn and St Pancras. The area has been served by the Piccadilly line at Covent Garden tube station since 1907; the 300 yard journey from Leicester Square tube station is the shortest in London.^[6]

This monument serves as a way of remembering how the city survived the effects of the fire. The 202-foot structure was completed in 1677. Christopher Wren and Dr Robert Hooke did the design of the monument.

The museum has more than 15,000 science-related objects on display, including the famous Apollo 10 command capsule and Stephenson's Rocket.

Whether you like or dislike science, I think the Science Museum is a must-see tourist attraction in London. You don't necessarily need to know about physics, chemistry, or biology to be impressed with the collections housed by the museum.

The Science Museum is a major museum on Exhibition Road in South Kensington, London. Like other publicly funded national museums in the United Kingdom, the Science Museum does not charge visitors for admission, although visitors are requested to make a donation if they are able. Temporary exhibitions may incur an admission fee.

The design of the fountain was made in a way that reflects the lifestyle of Princess Diana. Water flows from the highest point of the fountain in two directions as it cascades, swirls up and then bubbles before it meets the calm pool below.

Regent's Park was not opened to the public until around the 1930s, and it has been popular ever since. The beauty of the 395-acre park is enough for you to visit it. It is home to many wildlife creatures, boasting of 200 species of birds and more than 650 waterfowl.

The park has an outer ring road called the Outer Circle and an inner ring road called the Inner Circle , which surrounds the most carefully tended section of the park, Queen Mary's Gardens. Apart from two link roads between these two, the park is reserved for pedestrians .

In the Middle Ages the land was part of the manor of Tyburn, acquired by Barking Abbey. The 1530s Dissolution of the Monasteries meant Henry VIII appropriated it, under that statutory forfeiture with minor compensation scheme. It has been state property since. It was set aside as a hunting and forestry park, Marylebone Park, from that Dissolution until 1649 after which it was let as small-holdings for hay and dairy produce.

^{FOR WHAT CONCERS THE COST,THE REGENT PARK IS FREE FOR EVERY TUORIST OR LOCAL PERSON WHO GOES TO VISIT IT.}

Imagination is overrated. Why try to envisage the corridors that Henry VIII once wandered when you can wander the very same halls yourself? That’s one of the coolest things about London’s Historic Royal Palaces, because you can stand in spots where British history was made, for instance, where Catherine Parr and Henry VIII were wed (Hampton Court Palace) or where less fortunate wife Anne Boleyn was beheaded (Tower of London).

While Kensington Palace isn’t as large as the likes of Hampton Court or the notorious Tower, it has a lot going for it. For one, the modest (in comparison) Jacobean architecture and impeccably groomed grounds are absolutely stunning, but it also boasts a love affair with some of the nation’s favourite princesses. Queen Victoria was born and raised here, and in fact you can see the bedroom in which she was awoken on June 20 1837 and told she was to be queen. The Queen’s sister, Princess Margaret lived at Kensington Palace for 42 years, and Diana the Princess of Wales took up residence at the palace with Prince Charles.

Both Diana and Margaret were renowned for their forward-thinking fashion sense, which not only aped the trends of the time, but also influenced the outfits of those, well, less royal. It’s no surprise then that Kensington Palace has come to be known as the most glamorous of all the royal residences. And, fittingly, it's currently hosting 'Diana: Her Fashion Story', a celebration of Diana's life but also a major new exhibition at the palace, showcasing famous dresses including the velvet gown she wore when she danced with John Travolta at the White House.

The Fashionable Palace is a fitting reputation. When George I ascended to the throne he had the Palace lavishly decorated and during the reign of his son, the king and Queen Caroline entertained London’s in-crowd and were at the heart of eighteenth-century salon culture. Their apartments are included on any tour of Kensington Palace, as are the Queens’ State Apartments from the time of William III and Mary II. You can wander around the grounds and the entrance areas of Kensington Palace for free (the café is a lovely spot on a sunny day and the Orangery does a fabulous afternoon tea), but there are also formal gardens included in the main Palace entry ticket worth wandering if you have time.

The museum was founded in 1754, with the collections provided by Sir Hans Sloane. Sir Hans Sloane was the same man responsible for establishing the British Museum. He later realised that the natural history collection at the British Museum was not impressive enough, so he decided to fund a second one. 

The Natural History Museum was moved to its current location in 1881. It is one of the places in London where you can take the whole family to have fun.

Whether this is your first time visiting or are a frequent visitor, the tours at the museum always have something to offer. Take note that every tour takes about two hours to complete.
entering the natural history museum is free

Family activities here are strong points, too. 'Digital Missions' are interactive routes around the palace, powered by an app, but for more traditional meanders follow the 'Family Trail', where Queen Mary will guide intrepid kids, discussing her pet pugs, pastimes and favourite flowers.

the park has a small lake, St James's Park Lake, with two islands, West Island and Duck Island, the latter named for the lake's collection of waterfowl.

 Looking east, the view includes the Swire Fountain to the north of Duck Island and, past the lake, the grounds of Horse Guards Parade, with Horse Guards, the Old War Office and Whitehall Court behind.
To the south of Duck Island is the Tiffany Fountain on Pelican Rock; and past the lake is the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, with the London Eye, the Shell Tower, and the Shard behind.The park has a children's playground including a large sandpit.

^{THE HISTORY OF THIS PARK BEGAN IN 1552 WHEN} HENRYN VIII purchased from Eton College an area of marshland through which the Tyburn flowed.

It lay to the west of York Place acquired by Henry from Cardinal Wolsey; it was purchased in order to turn York Place, subsequently renamed Whitehall, into a dwelling fit for a king. On James I's accession to the throne in 1603, he ordered that the park be drained and landscaped, and exotic animals were kept in the park, including camels, crocodiles, an elephant and exotic birds, kept in aviaries.
The 18th century saw further changes, including the reclamation of part of the canal for Horse Guards Parade and the purchase of Buckingham House (now Buckingham Palace) at the west end of the Mall, for the use of Queen Charlotte in 1761.

Further remodelling in 1826–27, commissioned BY PRINCE REGENT:

Buckingham House was expanded to create the palace, and Marble Arch was built at its entrance, whilst The Mall was turned into a grand processional route. It opened to public traffic 60 years later in 1887.
The Marble Arch was moved to its current location at the junction of Oxford Street and Park Lane in 1851 and the Victoria Memorial was erected between 1906 and 1934.
