the historic castle Tower of London from 11th century
and the remaining of the Roman Wall that was probably built in the 3rd century.

This former industrial economic base has been replaced by service industries
such as retail, tourism and entertainment.

Don’t forget to visit an amazing Camden Maket and Cyber dog store
with futuristic fashion, club wear, rave clothes and live dancers inside the shop.

segments of natural history.

NUMBER 4: Big Ben and Palace of Westminster
This British cultural icon was completed in 1859
and it lays at the north end of the Palace of Westminster,
which is the seat of the Parliamentof the United Kingdom.
The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower,
but it was renamed as Elizabeth Tower in 2012.
Unfortunately, Big Ben is being renovated and will not be completed for couple more years.
A few steps away is also an impressive gothic church, Westminster Abby.
NUMBER 5: London Eye
The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel on
the South Bank of the River Thames overlooking Big Ben and Westminster.
When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel.
The structure is 135 m tall (443 feet) and the wheel has a diameter of 120 m (394 feet).
NUMBER 6: Little Venice
Little Venice is a neighborhood centered on an area of decorative houseboats
and a partly tree-lined, three-way junction of canals.
Little Venice is one of London's prime residential areas
and contains restaurants, shops, theatres and pubs.
Definitely a refreshing site and something you do not expect to see in London.
NUMBER 7: Hyde Park
Hyde Park is London’s main park.
It offers both world-class events and concerts together with plenty of quiet places to relax.
In 2004 there was an opening of the fountains in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales.
NUMBER 8: Piccadilly Circus
Piccadilly Circus is a road junction and public space
of London's West End in the City of Westminster.
It was built in 1819 to connect Regent Street with Piccadilly.
It was named after a house belonging to a tailor famous for selling piccadills or piccadillies,
a term used for various kinds of collars.
The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner of the building.
We suggest to also visit it by night.

Buckingham Palace is the most iconic royal building in the country.
It is the London residence of Her Majesty the Queen
and is one of only a few working royal palaces left in the world.
Don’t miss the iconic ceremony Changing the Guard also known as Guard Mounting carried out
by soldiers on active duty from the Foot Guards who have guarded the Sovereign
