Things to Do and See in London. London is home to many modern and historical attractions, from the London Eye to the
Tower of London.
| The British Museum | The Dungeons | The British Monarchy | Tower Bridge | Covent Garden Houses of Parliament | Visit Their Website | ![]() The first buildings on the site of the Palace of Westminster date from the reign of William Rufus (1087-1100), including Westminster Hall which still stands today. Building of a new palace began after a fire in 1834, and was finished by 1870. It was designed in the gothic style by Charles Barry and the interiors were decorated by Augustus Pugin. The Palace now houses offices, dining rooms, meeting rooms, libraries and committee rooms. Greenwich | Visit Their Website | ![]() When you come to visit us, we’re sure that you will agree that Maritime Greenwich rightfully stands among the most important sites in the world, alongside places like the Taj Mahal, Versailles and the historic centres of Venice, Florence and Bath.Greenwich is recognised for its cultural heritage:
The ensemble of buildings set in and around the oldest Royal Park in London and bordered to the north by the River Thames reads like a who’s who of British architecture. Sir Christopher Wren, Inigo Jones, Sir John Vanbrugh, Nicholas Hawksmoor and Joseph Kay all have important and beautiful examples of their work here, which together constitute the World Heritage Site. Hyde Park
| Visit Their Website | ![]() One of London's finest historic landscapes covering 142 hectares (350 acres). There is something for everyone in Hyde Park. With over 4,000 trees, a lake, a meadow, horse rides and more it is easy to forget you're in the middle of London. Imagine when King Henry VIII and his court were thundering across Hyde Park in 1536 in pursuit of deer and wild boar, it would have been difficult to visualise that years later the noble art of tai chi would be peacefully performed among the trees in the early morning, and the Italianate tenor of Pavarotti would echo across the park, applauded by vast audiences.
