London

Churchill War Rooms is a museum in London that generally takes about 90 minutes to get through. It features the Cabinet War Rooms, which is an area underground that was home to a British command centre during the Second World War.

Kensington Palace is located inside of none other than the Kensington Gardens. Famous for being the birthplace and intimate childhood home of Queen Victoria, there are over 300 years of history within these walls.

The Museum of London features the extensive history of London, going all the way back to prehistoric times. Located on the London Wall with over six million objects to see, you’ll be visiting the largest urban history collection in the world.

The Natural History Museum is another great museum that is free of charge. Located on Cromwell Road, this place is open everyday from 10:00 to 17:50, except from December 24-26. Check out their website to see the latest events going on.

The River Thames flows through southern England and is actually the longest river in England and the second longest river in the United Kingdom. This river is famous for landmarks like the London Eye, Tower Bridge, and Shakespeare’s Globe. For a more adventurous view of these sights, check out some of their river cruises!

Oddly enough, St. Paul’s Cathedral actually reminds me of the Capitol Building in Madison, Wisconsin. However, this Angelican cathedral has been here for over 1,400 years. Sitting at the highest point in the city of London, Ludgate Hill, this place will truly leave you in awe.

The British Museum is dedicated to human history, art and culture. It comprises of over 8 million pieces and is free to all visitors daily from 10:00 to 17:30. Make sure to look online to see what to expect at their latest exhibits.

Located along the South Bank is a premier tourist destination: The London Dungeon. Using live actors, rides and special effects, you can relive historical events in a rather light-hearted way. It takes almost two hours to get through the whole attraction and you can book your visit ahead of time online.

Tower Bridge, often mistaken as London Bridge, is London’s oldest and most historic river crossing. Honestly, it reminds me a bit of something I’d see in Disney World, which isn’t a bad thing–I swear. This bridge is a must-see on anyone’s visit to London.

Maybe do this. Send to take a lot of time. It’s the one thing on my list that I have not done.
