London is home to a huge number of fantastic tourist attractions and it can be difficult to know where to begin once you arrive. The sights are almost never-ending and to make sure you leave having seen everything London has to offer, there is a great deal of sight seeing to be getting on with!

Probably the one that first springs to mind is of course, The London Eye, also called the Millennium Wheel. It opened for business in 1999 and looks like an over-sized ferris wheel. It is now one of the worlds biggest tourist attractions, despite facing scepticism when it opened.

St. Paul’s Cathedral is another main attraction of London. Redesigned and rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren in 1668, it is a fantastic example of the architecture of the renaissance period. To this day St. Paul’s Cathedral is recognised as Britain’s most iconic building.

The Tower of London is a truly fascinating place to visit, is has been where the people of London have been protected, threatened, imprisoned and even executed for over a millennium. Originally built in the 11th century by William the Conqueror to keep the rowdy citizens of London under wraps.

For the artistic types, there is of course, the Tate Modern. The modern art capital of the country and home to works from such esteemed modernists as Picasso, Matisse, Dali and perhaps most notably of all, Andy Warhol.

Possibly more famous than any other London attraction, Buckingham Palace is not only the official residence of the Queen of England, but it’s one of the most clearly recognisable buildings on Earth. Home to breathtaking works of art and open to guided tours, though 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.
