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.

Piccadilly Circus Piccadilly Circus, W1 Underground: Piccadilly Circus
Home to the Eros statue (which isn't actually a statue of Eros at all, apparently - see the Wikipedia entry for Piccadilly Circus) and the neon signs which occupy a space used by firms for advertising since the early 1900s.

London Eye Westminster Bridge Road, SE1 7JB Underground: Waterloo/Embankment/Westminster Website: www.londoneye.com
A ride on the London Eye isn't free, but you can still admire this wonderful structure from the outside - even from quite away along the river! If you do want to treat yourself to a ride - they're actually called "flights" - book online and you'll save 20% on the normal ticket price.

Tower Bridge Tower Bridge Road, SE1 2UP Underground: Tower Hill Website: www.towerbridge.org.uk
Opened in 1894, Tower Bridge has become one of London's iconic landmarks. Be sure to view it from a distance, as well as crossing it - and try and time it so you're there for when it opens; it usually opens several times a day, with exact timings on the website. (Don't try and cross the bridge at that time...of course.) You can also visit the Tower Bridge Exhibition, which is housed within the towers of the bridge, its high-level walkway and the engine rooms of the bridge. Tickets cost £7.
