2. London Eye

The London Eye isn’t just shaped like an eye — it gives you a spectacular bird’s-eye view of the city. From above, you’ll see London’s most famous landmarks unfold before you, including Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, the River Thames, and The Shard.

3. National Gallery

Second only to the Louvre in Paris (home to the Mona Lisa), the National Gallery is one of the world’s greatest art collections and an essential stop in London. Discover iconic masterpieces including Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, Monet’s Water Lilies, Leonardo da Vinci’s Madonna of the Rocks, Botticelli’s Venus and Mars, and Stubbs’ celebrated horse painting Whistlejacket.

4. Greenwich Observatory
 

Here, one foot stands in the Eastern Hemisphere and the other in the Western Hemisphere. The Prime Meridian may appear as a simple metal line, but it marks 0° longitude, dividing the world into east and west.

The Royal Observatory Museum houses the famous marine chronometer and the largest refracting telescope in the UK. At the foot of the hill lies the National Maritime Museum, free to enter and home to one of the world’s most important collections of British maritime history, including ship models, maps, manuscripts, navigation instruments, chronometers, and astronomical equipment.

5. Tower Bridge
 

In the late 19th century, London’s rapidly growing economy created the need for a new river crossing. The bridge had to span the Thames without blocking access for tall ships travelling to the busy docks upstream. The final design was a 244-metre bascule bridge — the iconic Tower Bridge we see today.

The bridge features two striking towers, each 65 metres high. When required, the roadway between them can be raised in two sections to allow ships to pass through — a spectacular sight and one of London’s most recognisable engineering feats.

Beside Tower Bridge stands the Tower of London, home to the world-famous Crown Jewels. The Jewel House displays the British royal family’s coronation crowns, sceptres, swords, and other priceless treasures, all exquisitely crafted and rich in history.
