Pillar-box red buses, dazzling department stores and a skyline studded with world-famous silhouettes – London is so much more than just a city. As the capital of the UK and a hub of cultural wonder, it’s no surprise tourists fly in from all corners of the globe to visit this iconic city.

The roll call of world-famous landmarks in London is incredible. Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben are all top of the list for must-take photos. Down by the Thames, it’s all aboard the London Eye for the best views in town, and make a stop at the Globe Theatre – a replica of Shakespeare’s old stomping ground.
A city in the spotlight
London has been in more films and TV shows than you can count, with many of the city’s top landmarks making a starring appearance. For a glam night out, buy tickets to a West End show or head to Soho’s cool cocktail bars. The options are endless in this glitzy city.

Top local attractions in London
Big Ben
Did you know that “Big Ben” was originally the name given to the bell itself, and not the tower? It’s true. And you’ll learn that and more when you go to see this time-honoured London landmark. You’ll really feel part of the city when it chimes on the hour.
Buckingham Palace
Wanting to wave at the King? The monarch’s royal London residence is a wonder to behold, where you can watch the Changing of the Guard ceremoniously, and even book to tour the State Rooms on one of the limited dates per year. If there’s one quintessentially English must-see, it’s Buckingham Palace.
London Eye
The huge, dominating Ferris wheel-like structure whirling around is the London Eye. You can enjoy a typically touristy journey, or even hire a capsule for private use. It makes a great venue for an event, and you can even opt for a champagne package while you witness the panoramic sights.
