Anyone who wants to have a great time travelling
with their family will want to visit London at some point or
another. If you have never been before, then you might find yourself feeling a
little bewildered by which parts of the city you might want to see most of all,
or you might want to try and plan for something a little out of the way. That
being said, it’s also valuable to ensure that you are going to see the must-see
sights at some point or another, at least so you can say you have seen them. So
what are those? In this post, we are going to take a look at some of the
must-see sights of London which you should not overlook.
Essentially of course, this is a way of seeing the city as a whole, and
for that reason it has to be the top of the list. If you have never been on the
London Eye before, then you are in for a treat. It is a wonderful way to see
the city’s skyline and its outskirts, and it often acts as a great means of
seeing just how sprawling and vast London really is. If you are keen on going
on the London Eye, you should bear in mind that there are often queues, but
they tend to go down quickly. You will need to get a ticket before you queue - either
online or at one of the booths which are slightly removed from the Eye itself.
Beware of ticket touts trying to scam you. If you want to make this all easier,
stay somewhere local like the Dorsett
Hotel, City, so you can just walk over there on the day.
The Crown Jewels
For anyone with even the slightest interest in royal history, seeing the
crown jewels is going to be a top
thing indeed. These are an amazing sight, and they really are one of those
bucket list things that you will want to consider. When you go, prepare to be
standing on a travelator that goes around the room, and not being allowed to
move - as you might expect, the security around the jewels is extremely high,
so they are always very strict about how much you move and so on. However, it’s
a wonderful experience, and it’s something that you are going to want to do if
you have never done so yet, or if you want to take your kids.
Houses Of Parliament
The seat of parliament itself, and the oldest
parliament in the world that is still in operation, is one of
London’s more fascinating sights. If you go in the summer during the
parliament’s recess, you can take a full tour of the houses, including being
allowed to view the actual chamber where the Prime Minister and the rest of the
parliament sit. This is a fantastic sight, and you will learn a lot along the
way from the guide, too.
