About London

London blandar kunglig ceremoni, museer i världsklass och landmärken vid floden med egna stadsdelar, marknader och parker att utforska till fots.

Themsen binder samman staden. På dess stränder står parlamentshuset med Big Ben, Tower of London med kronjuvelerna, Tower Bridge och den långa promenaden längs South Bank förbi London Eye, Shakespeares Globe och Tate Modern. St Paul's Cathedral och Westminster Abbey förankrar den äldre silhuetten, medan glastorn trängs i finansdistriktet.

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