The Best Places to Visit in London
Buckingham Palace
- Buckingham Palace is well-known worldwide as one of London's most recognisable landmarks.

Big Ben
- One of London's most well-known tourist destinations is the Big Ben Clock Tower, which is 150 years old. In reality, the 13-ton bell housed inside the clock tower is known as Big Ben, and Sir Benjamin Hall, who placed the original order for the bell, is credited with giving it its name.
- The 16-ton first bell, which had irreparably cracked two years earlier, inspired the construction of the current Big Ben bell in 1858.
- The clock is now a well-liked attraction and has been in numerous movies.
- For instance, a UFO attack in the movie Mars Attacks! Destroys the Big Ben.
Tower Bridge
- London's Tower Bridge is perhaps the most recognisable landmark in a city full of them.

- Two eye-catching towers on the 1994-built Tower Bridge rise 213 feet (65 metres) above the River Thames.
