London, the capital city of England and the United Kingdom, with its rich history, aesthetic architecture and dynamic, multicultural present is a poet's refuge, a shopper's paradise and a lover's dream. Albeit, one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in, it has something to fulfill everyone's taste and there's little wonder as to why every soul should visit this constantly evolving and astounding city to visit at least once in lifetime.
No trip to London is complete without visiting the Buckingham Palace. Sadly, it is open to the general public only from July to September. It is however completely worth the wait. The public are allowed access to the Queen's Gallery and the 19 State Rooms including the Throne Room and the Ballroom. The queen's private apartments, swimming pool and garden are unfortunately off limits. The Westminster Abbey is one of Britain's finest gothic buildings. It has played host to coronations, funerals and marriages of British monarchs and is a must see tourist location. Other architectural landmarks that you cannot miss are The Clock Tower also called the Big Ben, Houses of Parliament, St. Paul's Cathedral and The London Eye, the world's largest observation wheel which allows you to view the city in all its glory.
