Over 60 locations to visit in London 

Here is the list with all the classic Must Do’s in London - museums, religious sites, art galleries, theatres and even cinemas. 

I would definitely recommend sightseeing London by boat, as well. A cruise on the Thames can easily make your whole experience a great one! You can use the Oyster Card (valid for any means of transportation in London) to travel in between objectives by boat: from Westminster pier to Greenwich pier for example. So, using the Oyster Card on the Thames Clippers River Bus services: only touch in with your card on the yellow card reader when asked to do so by a member of staff and remember to touch out again at the end of your journey.

London, England, UK | An Experienced Guide

Palace of Westminster

It is a Victorian Gothic building, which houses the British Parliament and, inside, there are 1,200 rooms and also houses the seats of the two chambers of the English Parliament: the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
The Palace of Westminster can only be visited on Saturdays and in the summer months. Tickets can be purchased at the ticket office and I advise you to go early in the morning to avoid the long queues.

👣How to get there: reachable on foot from London Eye (420m, 5min). Metro stop:Westminster,Lines Circle, District and Jubilee.

🎟️Ticket cost:full price 29£ (33,60€)- reduced price 24,50£ (28,40€).

This is the location of the Houses of Parliament. You can tour this facility by booking online through the UK Parliament. There are a few types of tours including a multimedia guided tour, English guided tour, State Apartments of Speaker's House tour, and Big Ben tour. All of these tours need to be booked in advanced. 

If you're from the UK then these tour will be free but if you're not than the cost will depend on the type of tour and your age. 

Immerse yourself in the political heart of London as you stroll through Westminster, where the iconic Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament stand tall, creating a picturesque scene along the River Thames.

The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place for the House of Lords and the House of Commons. It’s important to note that you can only visit the palace on Saturdays during July or August.
