London in itself is one of the worlds leading tourist attractions and with so much to see and do its hard to know where to start once you’re there. The entertainment and activities are never ending and to make sure that you travel home knowing that you really have seen and done anything that London has to offer, there are a huge number of must-see sites.

One of the first spectacles that springs to mind, and one of the more modern ones, is the London Eye. The vast ferris wheel of vision opened to the public in 1999 and despite a number sceptics that didn’t think it would catch on when it opened, it has gone on to become one of the world’s most popular tourist attractions.

Another main attraction of London is St Paul’s Cathedral. It is a monument to the renaissance style of architecture, redesigned and rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668, just after the great fire of London. The stunningly beautiful cathedral, located atop Ludgate Hill, stands today as Britain’s most iconic building.

Another historically fascinating spectacle of London is the Tower of London. It has served as a fortress, a prison and a death chamber for the people of London throughout history. It’s original purpose was to keep control over the raucus citizens of London in the 11th century under the rule of William the Conqueror.

Tate Modern (of course another main attraction) was converted from Battersea power station, and is the cities capital for believers of modern art along with the sceptical and the curious to view works of art from such celebrated modernists as Dali, Picasso, Matisse and of course Andy Warhol.

Buckingham Palace is possibly the most famous London attraction of them all. The official home of Queen Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, it’s one of the most instantly recognisable places on the planet. It is open for guided tours and is full of fantastic art works, although is not an official art gallery.

The last attraction that I will list here, but nowhere near the last thing to be seen, the Natural History Museum, built in 1881 to house the British Museums ever-expanding number of natural history specimens. The huge building, designed by Alfred Waterhouse and built using Victorian building techniques is a spectacle of wonder.

There are too many wondrous spectacles in London to list them all here, however, if you want to see them all, it will require more than just a day-trip, therefore, for your perfect trip to London, you will need the perfect hotel. There are hundreds of hotels in London, and finding the right one is as simple as finding a website that allows you to browse through them all.
