London, England: Top Sights
London is packed full of thousands of tourist attractions but there are some sites which most visitors would not want to miss.
Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the Queen, draws huge crowds, especially for the daily Changing of the Guard which takes place at 11.30. Note that it is only in August that the Palace actually lets tourists in.
The Westminster area is always popular as it hosts the Gothic splendours of the Houses of Parliament including Big Ben plus Westminster Abbey, which dates back to the 11th century, while over in The City financial district, the classical beauty of St Paul's Cathedral is held by many to be London's most attractive building.
The UK capital is world famous for its museums, the most impressive of which are the British, Victoria and Albert, Natural History and the two well stocked art galleries, the Tate and National.
Recent attempts have been made to boost tourism on the South Bank, culminating in the mighty Millennium Wheel, which is just around the corner from the restored Shakespeare's Globe and the Tate Modern.
