Top 10 Things to See and Do in London

Visit the Tower of London and Tower Bridge – The Tower of London is a great place to spend the day. It is here you can view the Crown Jewels, see a fantastic view of the Tower Bridge and take a picture with a guard. Admission fee is 24.50 GBP, or 23.10 GBP if you purchase tickets online.

Visit Buckingham PalaceBuckingham Palace can only be visited from the inside during the summer but you can join the crowds taking photos outside any time of year. You can watch the changing of the Guard at 11:30am from May until the end of July.

Big Ben and the House of Parliament – Although you can’t go up the bell tower, you can view its Gothic structure from the street. You can do tours of Parliament. Get there early as the line can get very long. The best view of it is from the opposite side of the river near the London Eye.

Visit a wide array of museums – London has more museums than you could see in one visit and they are all free. From the Tate to the City Museum to the National Gallery to the Historical Museum, you’ll be able to spend days here without spending a penny!

The London Eye – The London Eye is almost 500 feet high. The London Eye has become the most popular paid-for UK visitor attraction. It’s across the street from Parliament and gives you great views of London, especially on a clear day. But honestly, for the 20 GBP it costs (or 23 GBP if you buy in person), you could use that money for far better attractions.

The London Dungeon – The London Dungeon calls itself “the world’s most chillingly famous horror attraction.” It covers 2,000 years of London’s gruesome history. It’s a gruesome but morbidly interesting museum to see about England’s past. After all, torture was a popular thing to do for awhile, especially in old England. They loved torturing people! Ticket prices are high at 25 GBP (at the door), but tickets can be found for 19 GBP online (ahead of time).

St Paul’s Cathedral – A great cathedral with a world-famous Dome. Inside has glittering mosaics and elaborate stone carvings. You can also climb the Whispering Gallery or higher still to the Stone Gallery or Golden Gallery for the amazing views of surrounding London. Entrance is 18 GBP (cheaper than the London Eye and with similarly breathtaking views).

Trafalgar Square – In many ways this is center of London. There is no cost attached to spending some time avoiding the pigeons while looking at some of the famous monuments such Nelson’s Column. Lots of people just hang out here so it makes for a good place to people watch. Trafalgar Square is also a good starting point for a walk along The Mall to Buckingham Palace.

 Convent Garden – A great place to just hang out: lots of quirky stalls, musicians busking, an arty market and selection of more unusual pubs and coffee shops that break the Starbucks mold. Covent Garden is also walking distance to all the big musicals so is a great place to spend a few hours before catching a show.

Camden Market – For some great shopping and people watching, this market has consistently been a top attraction. It is busiest on the weekends, particularly Sunday, drawing crowds all the way from Camden Town. It is composed of many separate markets, so there is lots to check out.
