London is home to many beauties of the modern, and not so modern, world. A cosmopolitan city where people from all over the world live, this is home to the Buckingham Palace, the London Bridge and numerous pubs at the same time. Beyond that though, London is amazing from so many points of view that a book would probably not be enough to describe it.
If you are planning to visit London soon, you should definitely make sure not to leave home without a list of must-see locations there. Otherwise, you will easily get lost among the million wonders this city has to offer and you may miss out on the best of the best ones. It can be a great idea to look into Heathrow airport car hire to ensure you can easily get around London and the surrounds at your pace. Stuck for things to see? To help out, I have put together a list of some of the very best London attractions to check out. Here it is:
The British Museum
It doesn’t matter if you’re not a HUGE museum lover, this museum will impress you. The British Museum has gathered items from all over the world and the oldest ones date as far back as…prehistoric times, which you will surely find fascinating. You’ll get to see the Egyptian mummies and the amazing Ancient Greek Pantheon sculptures, but a wide range of other things as well. Considering most of the exhibitions are free and that this is such an amazing place, you should definitely not miss out on the British Museum when you get to London.
Also, you can visit any of the other London museums because they are all amazing at what they do: the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum, the Royal Museums Greenwich, Tate Modern and so on.
Madame Tussauds
This is another museum as well – but it’s not like your regular history/science/art museum. The exhibitions here are consisted of real-life sized wax sculptures of the world’s most famous people. From Lady Gaga to Her Majesty the Queen, everybody is present here. And the best part about this is that these sculptures are just perfectly made – it will be nearly impossible to tell the difference between them and the real people!
The Kensington Palace and Gardens
While we can’t become royals overnight, we can still take a walk in the amazing Kensington Palace (the official residence of Prince Harry and Duchess Kate). Parts of the palace and garden are open for visitors at particular times, so you will definitely want to take this chance. Everything here feels just amazing: from the artificial lake to the beautiful plants offering you an escape from the buzz of the city as well. Definitely a must-see for anyone who steps foot in London!
Westminster Palace
UNESCO has classified this place as a world-heritage one – and not without any reason. Everything here is splendid and mesmerising at the same time. This is the kind of place that will amaze you with its stunning architecture and with the very “historical” aura surrounding it – an absolute must-see whatever your goals in London may be!
