One-day tour in London: it is recommended for peers throughout. This route is step by step, and every detail may enter a period of history without taking a step.

On this route, the classic scenery of London and even Britain is gathered.

Walking here, you will see: Parliament Building (Big Ben)-London Eye-Thames-Westminster Abbey-White House Hall (Royal Racecourse)-Downing Street 10 Prime Minister's Office-St James' Park-Royal Avenue.

-Buckingham Palace

The classic route of London's main attractions starts from Westminster Abbey:

Touch the heavy Westminster Gate, and your hand has pushed away the history of Britain. Entering the hall and another time and space, the light through the glass window becomes mysterious in a trance, and faces flow in the air. They may be Churchill.

Dickens Newton Darwin

Hawking's god is guiding you into their world. Watch your step. Be sure to walk in carefully and slowly. The land under your feet has been walked by successive British kings, queens, prime ministers and celebrities of all periods. . . Perhaps, suddenly you will find that at your feet, it is probably the epitaph of a person you admire.

. In particular, you can't miss the Poet's Corner in the south wing of Hall Hall, which is a famous cultural relics exhibition hall in Britain.

Listen carefully, the organ is playing in the church, and that kind of spiritual music is beating your heart. Whether you are a believer or not, whether you have religious beliefs or not. At this moment, you will feel that there is a mysterious force pulling you and you can't help but hallucinate. Are the fairy tales of Prince William and Cinderella really staged here? The tragic story of William's mother, Princess Diana, and the old Prince Charles' century wedding also began here. Reluctantly left Westminster Abbey, as if he had just completed a century crossing.

Walking out of the church, the cars in the street remind you to return to the earth.

Out of the door, you can see many ancient buildings falling around. Opposite is the White House Hall, where the British government is located, and the magnificent British Parliament Building in the north is also in sight.

Please note that it is forbidden to enter the parliament building for sightseeing. You can only enter in the form of audit, but you have to wait for the gallery to be free. Waiting for a vacant room in the tourist season depends entirely on your luck. In addition, in order to check personal belongings

The investigation is also very strict. Because, you can see the real scene of the meeting of British parliamentarians. Why do you want to participate in the deliberation in the name of auditing? Because members of parliament are representatives elected by the people by one person, one vote, the people have the right to supervise.

And the right to listen to the real working status of parliamentarians. Of course, there is no charge for entry and review. If you are interested in this democratic system, if you are a person interested in politics, you might as well give yourself a day to wait here. Otherwise, it is recommended to give priority to foreign visits.

It takes some time for a huge building to go around for half a week, but it is a good choice to cross the Thames Bridge and overlook the Parliament Building that seems to float on the water. Besides, the London Eye is waiting for you at the other end of the bridge. The so-called London Eye is a Ferris wheel. It is said that you can see a panoramic view of London. I'm not interested in this. I just passed by a few times and I'm not in the mood to go up and have a look. Besides, it takes almost a day to catch up with the tourist season, queue up to buy tickets, and then queue up to board the Ferris wheel. Go under the bridge, set foot on the Thames ferry and visit the scenery along the Thames.

Tip: The London Thames Ferry can sail to several scenic spots downstream. For example, Tower Bridge in London, Greenwich.

Whichever option you choose, you should choose to go back to the parliament building under Big Ben. This time is basically close to noon, and the pace can be stopped temporarily. Find a bench by the Thames to replenish energy, or choose a coffee shop by the Thames, watch the Thames while drinking tea and coffee, and enjoy the scenery along the river with the endless crowd.

Half an hour's rest, so we can't delay too much time here. This is only one-fifth of the journey, and there is still a long way to go.

After returning to Big Ben Tower, it is suggested that the first destination after lunch is Parliament Square, also called Freedom Square. In front of the parliament building, you may be interested in the ubiquitous protests of all kinds and names.

. Then, walk around the square quickly, and you will see Churchill facing the parliament building, Lincoln standing in the surrounding park, South African racial reconciliation leader Mande and other historical figures.

Special recommendation: many tourists who arrive in London ignore the direction of Churchill's statue. The posture and direction of this statue are very interesting. Seen from the north, he is watching the congressmen having a meeting in the building.

Next target: Downing Street 10. Walking on the road of the White House Hall, pay attention to the English red telephone booth on the roadside, the old English taxi shuttling back and forth on the street, and the uninterrupted sculpture in the middle of the street.

Of course, we can also see that the oldest red bus in Britain is still running.

It takes about ten minutes from the Parliament Building to Downing Street. Now that Downing Street has been attacked by Northern Ireland militants, an iron fence has been built, and the guards are ready. I can only stand outside at a distance and look inside. So, I took a few photos with three eyes and two eyes and left. The beautiful scenery ahead is infinite, why stay here for a long time?

Go, come, come!

In front of the royal exercise ground, there are always two royal soldiers riding tall horses. They can take photos with tourists. But when approaching horses and guards, try not to talk and approach slowly. Otherwise, it is easy to cause horse anxiety and bring you insecurity.

Then, go through the Royal Horse Training Ground, which is also the Royal Flag Training Ground, and continue walking.

St James Park (St James)

Park), formerly Deer Park,/kloc-In the 7th century, charles ii hired French designers to rebuild the landscape, and now it has become the most beautiful park in central London, which is the best place for citizens and tourists to rest and relax. On sunny days, sunbathing, walking and picnics can be seen everywhere.

There are many free-range wild animals in it, especially all kinds of wild ducks, so some people call it Duck Garden. Walking slowly here will definitely make you sigh. Why so many wild animals can choose to live here for a long time without any protection. You know, this is the center of London, and it is an open park full of tourists.

Why? Imagine that. If they think this is their home, and their home is here, will they leave home and travel far away? (Well, I seem to be talking about myself)

The Royal Avenue is next to St James' Park, and the end of the straight avenue is Buckingham Palace. The palace can only be seen from the outside because _ here, the current British monarch Elizabeth II. Buckingham Palace may not be the most beautiful building in London, but it is one of the most remarkable palaces in the world.

Curious about the British royal family, or want to watch the ancient traditional handover etiquette of the Royal Guard, this is the best place.

Friendly reminder: The handover ceremony of the Royal Guards is held at 1 1: 30 every year from May to July, and it is held every other day in other seasons. In case of rain or special circumstances, it can be cancelled at any time.

I'll tell you a little secret: to know whether the queen is in the palace, pay attention to the flag above Buckingham Palace. If the British flag is flying, it means that the Queen is not at home. If the queen's flag is flying in the air, it means that the queen is at home. As for whether the queen can receive you, it depends on who you are. However, according to legend, the queen often looks at the crowd outside the window. With luck, the queen or the prince and princess may appear in your sight. Looking at the balcony outside the main entrance window, maybe you can see the queen?

A day's journey will make you feel full and tired. However, on this day, you saw the essence of London scenery. A day's walk in London will surely make you glad you came.

Special reference: If you still have time and strength.

First of all, you can choose to continue traveling around Buckingham Palace, cross Green Park to reach the Arc de Triomphe in England, and after passing quickly, visit the legendary Hyde Park.

Second, go straight along the tree-lined road and come to Trafalgar Square. Please be careful not to imitate the legend of feeding pigeons in Trafalgar Square. Because it is forbidden to feed wild birds in Britain. You will be warned or fined!

Recommended, the National Gallery next to Trafalgar Square. The art gallery is large and rich in collections. It is the essence of world literature and art. If you are not interested in art, don't go in. If you are interested, then recommend the wall crack. The art hall that literary youth must worship!

It is recommended to visit London Chinatown, the largest in Europe. Starting from Trafalgar Square, turn a few corners and then turn a few more corners to get to the destination. How about visiting Chinatown, having dinner and trying English Chinese food?

Hmm! Chinese food in the country of dark cuisine tastes quite special (unpalatable)!
