London in itself is one of the worlds leading tourist attractions and with so much to see and do its hard to know where to start once you’re there. The entertainment and activities are never ending and to make sure that you travel home knowing that you really have seen and done anything that London has to offer, there are a huge number of must-see sites.

The London Eye is among the first attractions to spring to mind, and one of the most recent additions to London’s back-catalogue of spectacles. It was opened up to the public in 1999 and faced criticism from sceptics, but then went on to become one of the world’s biggest tourist attractions.

Another main attraction of London is St Paul’s Cathedral. It is a monument to the renaissance style of architecture, redesigned and rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668, just after the great fire of London. The stunningly beautiful cathedral, located atop Ludgate Hill, stands today as Britain’s most iconic building.

Another historically fascinating spectacle of London is the Tower of London. It has served as a fortress, a prison and a death chamber for the people of London throughout history. It’s original purpose was to keep control over the raucus citizens of London in the 11th century under the rule of William the Conqueror.

Tate Modern (of course another main attraction) was converted from Battersea power station, and is the cities capital for believers of modern art along with the sceptical and the curious to view works of art from such celebrated modernists as Dali, Picasso, Matisse and of course Andy Warhol.

Possibly more famous than any other London attraction, Buckingham Palace is not only the official residence of the Queen of England, but it’s one of the most clearly recognisable buildings on Earth. Home to breathtaking works of art and open to guided tours, though not an official art gallery.

The Natural History Museum is the last sight that I will list here, but it is by no means the last to be seen. It was as somewhere to put all natural history items that the British Museum had (it was nearly over-flowing with them) and over time became the great museum we know it as today. It is a wonderfully spectacular building designed by Alfred Waterhouse in 1880-1881.

There are too many wondrous spectacles in London to list them all here, however, if you want to see them all, it will require more than just a day-trip, therefore, for your perfect trip to London, you will need the perfect hotel. There are hundreds of hotels in London, and finding the right one is as simple as finding a website that allows you to browse through them all.
