London

The great city of London is the place to go for a history tour of some of Western Europe.

Read on to learn more about the city of London, and some of the main attractions that most people want to sight see when in the one of UK’s most famous places.

Transportation in London:

The London Underground is one of the main ways that the people of London get around. It was started way back in the 1800s, and it’s grown today as the electric rails systems in the country. Don’t think though that all of its underground, only over a little of half of it is, so be prepared to take a famous Double Decker red bus, or a taxi. There are plays on the outskirts of the city that are world famous that appear at places along the London underground.

Another way to see London is to ride over 400 feet in the air on the London Eye, in London England. The neat thing about this huge observatory Ferris wheel is that it almost never stops. It runs so slow that you can just walk in the seat, and sit down to enjoy a magical show of the London skyline. You’ll see the Thames River, bridges, and Westminster from the London Eye. Be prepared for a long ride, and also know that at times it does stop for the handicapped to get on and off.

Historical Royal Sites:

The Tower of London is another way to understand the history of London. In this tourist destination you’ll see a tower that William of Normandy built. Its housed prisoners which included the kings and queens of England and at one time the royal jewelry of them. Make sure to go to Pudding Lane. This little lane in England is where the Great Fire of London started. The fire destroyed blocks of the city, and yes it was started accidentally by a baker. It’s ironic that it was started on a city street that was named Pudding Lane, by a baker.

Whether you want to visit the towers of London, or read a London Free Press or London Times newspapers, you’ll find so much more to capture your attention in the city. Pull out a London map and visit the London Stock Exchange, or stay at one of the London hotels, and eat with any of the London caterers, you’ll be happy you visit jolly ole London. Remember to drive carefully while you’re there in the London fog, so you can take home memories for a lifetime.
