Top London Sights and Attractions
Here we'll list some of the more famous of
London's attractions, which are must-sees on your visit to London!
Houses of Parliament St. Margaret
Street, Westminster W1 Underground: Westminster
Website: www.parliament.uk
The beautiful buildings of the Houses of Parliament (or the "Palace of
Westminster" to give it its official name) sit alongside the Thames and
contribute much to London's architecture and design. The buildings are just
as impressive viewed close up or at a distance. It is in fact possible to
take a tour of the Houses of Parliament (although you need to purchase
tickets for this - price £7), and overseas visitors can only do so during
the summer opening of Parliament (approximately late July to early September
and mid-September to early October).
Big Ben Westminster W1 Underground:
Westminster Website: www.parliament.uk
Actually the clock tower of the above Houses of Parliament, so not
technically a separate thing! Completed in 1858, it has now become one of
the main (if not the) symbols of London. Big Ben's famous hourly
chimes are synonymous with London.
