London gets visitors from all over the world and many take time out of their busy schedules to fit in some sightseeing. But with so many attractions on offer, which are the best ones to choose?
Lovers of history and the royal family will certainly want to make a visit to Buckingham Palace, one of the most impressive buildings in London.
The palace has 775 rooms which include 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices and 78 bathrooms. Although it is used for many important events by the Queen, the state rooms at Buckingham Palace are open every year to visitors and tourists (during the months of August and September.)
The opening hours and dates for 2010 are as follows: 27 July-1 October, 09:45-18:00 with the last administration at 15:45. It is an exciting experience and appeals to all. The admission prices are very low, charging only 17.00 for an adult, 15.50 for over 60’s and students, 9.75 for under 17’s and under 5’s are free!
Another fantastic attraction is The London Eye. Since it opened in March 2000, it has become the most popular tourist attraction in the UK. It’s the world’s tallest observation wheel with a height of 443 ft and is located in a brilliant position on the South Bank of the River Thames. The London Eye is perfect for views of London and on a clear day you can see for up to 25 miles. It is the perfect alternative to going and seeing all the sights individually. The wheel has 32 unobstructed glass capsules, which individually can comfortably carry 25 people.
The London Eye has disabled access so is accessible for everyone. The Eye takes 30 minutes to complete a full rotation and moves so slowly it’s hardly noticeable. It’s open from 10am-8pm 7 days a week with tickets for an adult at only 13.50. There are also many packages available when booking the London Eye which are all designed to help save you money. You can hire it for a party or for a romantic date with the other half!
