1. This is one of the most prominent tudor facades in London. The original building from 1585 was once the wool staple, where wool was weighed and taxed. It survived the great fire of London, was refaced in the 17th century and restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. The hall was damaged by bombing in 1944.

About Londres

Londres réunit cérémonial royal, musées de rang mondial et monuments au bord de l'eau, avec des quartiers, des marchés et des parcs à explorer à pied.

La Tamise relie la ville d'un bout à l'autre. Sur ses rives se dressent le Parlement et Big Ben, la Tour de Londres et ses joyaux de la Couronne, Tower Bridge et la longue promenade de la South Bank, qui passe devant le London Eye, le Globe de Shakespeare et la Tate Modern. La cathédrale Saint-Paul et l'abbaye de Westminster ancrent la silhouette ancienne de la ville, tandis que les tours de verre se pressent dans le quartier financier.
