„Must see“ in London

If you don't have time for all the sights, you should not miss the iconic Big Ben tower and the House of Parliament. You can find them on all photos and postcards from London. Perhaps the second most photographed monument after them is the Tower Bridge on the River Thames, near which there is a well-known fortress and the Tower of London Royal Jewellery. A huge wheel - the London Eye - has also become a symbol of London.

Your next steps should be directed towards the seat of Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace. If you are interested in where Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton spend their free time, take a walk in Hyde Park, at the end of which you will find their residence, Kensington Palace. Another attraction is Trafalgar Square with a statue of Admiral Nelson and the National Gallery. From there, you can take a short walk to the famous Westminster Abbey, the temple where the coronation of the king or queen has taken place since 1066. However, there is much more to London - you can watch street performers in Piccadilly Circus, you can find the prime meridian in the Greenwich observatory, you can go also for mass in the Cathedral of St. Paul, or for typical tea and fish and chips in one of the restaurants. If you want to catch the sales in the shops at the end, be sure to head to the most famous shopping street, Oxford Street.
