London Attractions

Historic Churches
Two churches stand out amidst London's historic landmarks; St Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, but aside from these two magnificent buildings there are scores of other intriguing churches in Greater London, many of them built by Sir Christopher Wren following the Great Fire of 1666.  Perhaps the most intriguing is Temple Church, which featured in the popular Da Vinci Code novel and film.

Historic Buildings
From famous buildings like the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament, to unknown pleasures like Dr Johnson's House, tucked away in a quiet courtyard near St Paul's, or Keat's House in leafy Hampstead, no matter where you turn there are historic buildings great and small to enjoy. MORE >>

Museums and Galleries
London boasts some of the world's greatest museums. Many of these are clustered together in South Kensington, including the Science Museum, Museum of Natural History, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, but part of the charm of exploring London is stumbling upon small, intimate museums like Benjamin Franklin House, Sir John Soane's Museum, or the Clink Prison Museum.  MORE >>

Parks and Gardens

Royal London
Where would London be without its royal connection? Buckingham Palace takes centre stage in Royal London, but there are so many other areas of the city with strong royal connections, from Queen's College, Greenwich, to Hampton Court Palace, built by a cardinal, and home to monarchs for generations. Then there's the former royal palace at Eltham, and Kensington Palace, remodelled by Christopher Wren for William and Mary. MORE >>
