A Guide to London’s Landmarks: Insiders Touristing

Interior designers say that if you leave a painting on a wall for a long enough time, you’ll forget it’s there. The same goes for the city you live in – live in London long enough and the allure tends to drift away…

It’s understandable, seeing as life goes on and not everyone spends their time in the centre of town. But if you find yourself on Oxford Street when the Christmas lights are up, or in a beautiful British park, you might remember why London is known as one of (if not the best) cities in the world.

If the endless groups of excited tourists on the underground tell us anything, it’s that London has a hell of a lot to offer when it comes to historic landmarks. So why not become a tourist in your own city and fall in love with London all over again?

A Guide to London’s Landmarks: Insiders Touristing

Big Ben

Currently in the midst of its four-year silence, but an undisputed London icon. Big Ben, in all its gothic architecture glory, sits at the end of the Houses of Parliament and has been our national timepiece since its opening in 1859. Big Ben, Westminster

Buckingham Palace

The HQ of England’s monarchy and the Queen’s home. If you can’t get an invite to a royal function, you can still go inside and look around the picture gallery, walk the gardens, and watch the changing of the guard. Buckingham Palace, Westminster

The Best Literary Festivals of 2020

The London Eye

A giant observation wheel with panoramic views over the city. Not great for those who dislike heights, but it’s not so bad due to the slow pace at which it turns. Overall, a great way to see the city from a bird’s eye view. The London Eye, Lambeth

The Tower of London

You probably learned about the Tower of London in history at school. An attraction for gore-lovers, the historic establishment is a fortress and an infamous prison. This is also the place to see the Crown jewels. Tower of London, St Katharine’s & Wapping

Tower Bridge

This landmark is notorious for being the site of many, many beheadings in London’s rough history, and now allows behind-the-scenes access to walkways that offer spectacular views across the Thames. Tower Bridge, Tower Bridge Road

London Restaurants with Breathtaking Views

Hyde Park

The place to be during Summer. Hyde Park is a vast Grade I-listed park located in the centre of London with a boating lake and the Diana Memorial Fountain within. Relax by the Serpentine in the waterside cafe and swim in the lake in the warmer months. Hyde Park

Westminster Abbey

Opened in 1090, Westminster Abbey is a World Heritage Site and inside its walls, you’ll discover thousands of years of London’s history. There are daily services, and you can also look around the new museum, The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Galleries, which holds over 300 objects and amazing views. Westminster Abbey
