About Londres

Londres combina ceremonial real, museos de talla mundial y monumentos junto al río con barrios distintos, mercados y parques para recorrer a pie.

El Támesis cose la ciudad. En sus orillas se alzan el Parlamento y el Big Ben, la Torre de Londres con las joyas de la Corona, el Tower Bridge y el largo paseo de la South Bank, que pasa ante el London Eye, el Globe de Shakespeare y la Tate Modern. La catedral de San Pablo y la abadía de Westminster anclan el horizonte más antiguo, mientras las torres de cristal se apiñan en el distrito financiero.
