The history of London is long, harking back to the Roman Empire. These days, it’s the capital of England and the United Kingdom. You no doubt will recognize iconic landmarks, such as the Big Ben clock tower, Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Thames River, the London Eye, and Westminster Abbey.

See armor and crown jewels in the Tower of London before dining on fish and chips or a proper afternoon tea. Recreate the Beatles’ walk at Abbey Road or get in touch with your inner detective at the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

In fact, London has several amazing museums, including the British Museum, where you can see the Rosetta Stone and Greek sculptures from Athens’ Parthenon.

If you like to shop, London’s amazing Harrods department store, in which you can spend days perusing and dining. Plus, Oxford Street, Portobello Road, Camden Market, Covent Garden, and Burlington Arcade will keep you more than busy.
