About London

London blander kongelig ceremoni, museer i verdensklasse og vartegn ved floden med særprægede kvarterer, markeder og parker, man kan gå rundt i.

Themsen binder byen sammen. På dens bredder ligger Parlamentet med Big Ben, Tower of London med kronjuvelerne, Tower Bridge og den lange gåtur langs South Bank forbi London Eye, Shakespeares Globe og Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral og Westminster Abbey forankrer den ældre skyline, mens glastårne trænger sig sammen i finansdistriktet.

Top-ranked sights in London: St. Paul's Cathedral, Stonehenge, Tower of London.
