7 Reasons to Visit London, England

London, England is a magical, cosmopolitan city. When I first traveled to the U.K. and explored the city, I didn’t want to leave. Why? Because I felt at home — some people thought I was British. Imagine that!

Here are seven reasons (in pictures), why you’ll want to visit London, England today. You may want to start thinking about London travel packages and which one is best for you.

Buckingham Palace

When I first saw Buckingham Palace in London, England, I was awestruck. It is, after all, where Queen Elizabeth II lives. Keep in mind that it’s popular with tourists and is often packed from end-to-end with people. Nevertheless, if you tour England, it’s a must-see attraction.

Big Ben

Big Ben is located at the end of the Palace of Westminster in London. The tower is now known as Elizabeth Tower, named to celebrate Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 2012. When I first heard the great bell strike, I thought that I had been transported into the pages of The Fall of the House of Usher by Edgar Allan Poe (one of my favorite writers). What can I say? I have an active imagination. By the way, you’ll want to see Westminster Abbey as it’s too far from Big Ben.

The Tube

If you’re used to riding the New York subway system (MTA), The “T” in Boston, or The “L” in Chicago, you won’t have a problem riding the Tube (Underground). If you haven’t traveled via a subway before, riding the Tube will be a treat for you. Why? Because it’s one the fastest ways to get around London, and you’ll meet all sorts of people (locals know the best pubs, restaurants and shops). Follow the Tube on Twitter, so that you can get updates about closures and service. If you’re apprehensive about riding the Tube, keep in mind that London train travel should be experienced at least once.

Tower Bridge

When I first saw Tower Bridge, I thought about the people who built and used it. It took several years to build, from 1886-1894, and crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London (another attraction you’ll want to see). Tower Bridge is an iconic London landmark that most people know, even if they haven’t traveled to London. When you visit London, it’s a must-see.

London Gardens

London travel includes visiting parks and gardens. You’ll want to see Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew (featured picture), St. James’s Park in central London (bordered by Buckingham Palace to the west), Kensington Palace Gardens, Hampton Court Palace Gardens (devised by Henry VIII – they’re magnificent), and others. Sit down on a park bench and people watch. You never know who you’ll meet.

Ride a Double Decker Bus

Not only is riding a double deck bus fun, but it’s a great way to see London, England. I recommend sitting on the top level. Why? Because the views are spectacular — you won’t strain your neck to see the city. Keep in mind that the top level may be open. Bring a light jacket or sweater to keep from getting cold.

Tour the Tower of London

As I mentioned above, you’ll want to visit the Tower of London. You’ll be greet by Yeoman Warders (detachment of the Yeoman of the Guard) also known as Beefeaters. Why are they called this? Supposedly they were allowed to eat as much beef as they wanted from the king’s table. When you visit the Tower of London, you’ll also be greeted by six ravens. Legend has it that England will fall, if they’re not present. You’ll also want to see the crown jewels, the Bloody Tower (I didn’t see this on my first trip to London. But I will on my next trip.), Tower Green (Anne Boleyn and Lady Jane Grey were beheaded here), and more.
