Many young artists specially flew to London from all over the world, except dreaming of feeding pigeons in Trafalgar Square (feeding pigeons, of course, can only be a dream.

National Art Gallery (also translated as National Art Gallery). The National Gallery has collected as many as 2,300 paintings from13rd century to19th century. Since the government spent money on many paintings, their collections belong to the general public of British taxpayers. Therefore, the art gallery is open to the public free of charge.

This is a place where many western painters and artists dream of hanging around.

3. Parliament Building

There is no reason to visit here. If you go to England, you have never been to England.

Parliament building is located on the Thames next to Westminster Bridge. It is a classical Gothic building. It was founded by Edward in 1 1 century. After being destroyed and expanded by Uighurs, the original palace was moved to other places. Now it has become the seat of the British National Assembly.

Why do you want to participate in the deliberation in the name of auditing? Because members of parliament are representatives elected by the people with one vote, the people have the right to supervise and attend the real work of members.

One of the symbols of Britain-Big Ben.

Of course, we can't miss the protesters who are always in front of the Capitol.

Many visitors to London will ignore Churchill's statue, which has a remarkable posture and direction.

4. Tower of London Tower and Tower Bridge.

The Tower of London and Tower Bridge are basically close, but they are two places.

The Tower of London is actually Tower Bridge Castle in London.

History: 1078, King William built the White Pagoda on the original site of the Roman castle. Its real purpose is only to create some pressure on the City of London, rather than really using it as a fortress for actual combat. Later, it gradually evolved into a bloody prison in London, where many important prisoners were held. Among them, Queen Elizabeth I and Thomas Moore were imprisoned here. The young British King Edward V of England and his younger brother were also assassinated here, and several spies died here in World War I and World War II. Some people describe this place as a bloody tower.

Here you can see the legendary "Star of Africa" (weighing 530 carats), as well as the Ginel diamond presented by the East India Company to Queen Victoria, and so on.

Opening hours:

Adults 17kg, children 9.5kg March1-0 Tuesday-Saturday 09: 00- 17: 30 Sunday and Monday 10: 00- 17: 30.

Tower Bridge in London is another symbol of Britain.

Tower Bridge in London is the first bridge at the mouth of the Thames River in London, England (15 Bridge was built on the Thames River), and it is also a symbol of London, so it is called "the main entrance of London". The bridge was built in 1886 and opened to the public on1June 30, 894, connecting the north and south parts of London into a whole.

The traffic information is the same as the Tower of London.

There is no charge for the footbridge. Of course, there is no toll for driving through.

Highlights of Tower Bridge in London:

First, from the bridge or the river, you can see that the British warship Belfast is parked on the river not far away, which is the most intact warship in Britain since World War II.

Second, since the 1895 tower bridge was put into full use, the bridge deck has been opened more than 6,000 times, with an average of 10 times per week. Tower Bridge needs 25 people to be responsible for its operation and maintenance. Now once or twice a week, if you are lucky, you may see it in full swing.

Visitors can browse on foot on the tower bridge for free. When visiting Tower Bridge, you can take the elevator from the tower bridge in the north to watch the structural engineering of the bridge, and then walk across the Thames from the high-altitude passage of the bridge to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Thames and its banks.

Fourth, visit the guard room at the south end, which is the most notorious attraction in London: many traitors have their heads cut off, nailed to stakes and coated with asphalt to prevent corrosion. 1305, the head of the famous Scottish rebel leader william wallace was nailed to the door, which started a 355-year tradition. Other famous figures who were beheaded included Jack Cade in 1450, Sir Thomas Moore and Bishop John Fisher in 1535, and thomas Cromwell in 1540. 1598, a German tourist in London once counted the number of people crossing the bridge, and there were as many as 30. This tradition was finally abolished in 1660 after the restoration of charles ii.

Tower Bridge

The infamous Tower of London

5. St Paul's Cathedral St Paul's Cathedral

The seat of the British cardinal archbishop.

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 8: 30- 16: 00, and Sunday is Sunday.

Traffic information:

The bus is very convenient, get off at Westminster Parliament Building or Tower of London, and get off at St. Paul's Cathedral. There may be several trips a minute. Subway station: St. Paul's Cathedral Station

Fees: underground mourning hall 3.5, cloister 3, pass 6 (student 5)

St Paul's Cathedral is located in London, England, at the corner of Newgate Street and Newchanji Street on the north bank of the Thames. It is a representative of Baroque architecture, famous for its spectacular dome roof, and the second largest dome church in the world. It imitates St Peter's Cathedral in Rome and is a representative of English classical architecture. St Paul's Cathedral is a world-famous religious shrine, the fifth cathedral in the world and the first cathedral in Britain. Located in one of the five largest churches in the world.

6. Chinatown Chinatown

Transportation: Bus: 14, 19, 24, 29, 38, 176, etc. Leicester Square Subway Station

When China people arrive in London, they must go to China (Chinatown) in London. In the19th century, China City in London was originally located in limehouse Dock. In the 1950 s, many Hong Kong immigrants poured in. Since then, China City has taken root in Gerard Street and Lyle Street in Su He District. Now China City is no longer a place where immigrants live, but a food paradise with cheap bowls in London. China in London is probably the laziest city in China in the world. Don't try to come here for breakfast or tea in the morning, neither restaurants nor small restaurants will open until noon! The restaurants here mainly serve Cantonese food. Snacks are served until five in the afternoon, and dinner must be ordered. The most famous one in the local area should belong to "Jinlong Xuan". If you want to eat roast duck in the open-air stove, you must come here, although the price is higher. One? 15.00, but the taste and taste are better than others. "Lumingchun" is another Guangdong tea with a good reputation. And China City and New Dragon and Phoenix are also good. Please note that if you choose a Chinese buffet, you must not choose two Chinese cafeterias on both sides of Chinatown (the price is very cheap, but the taste is very bad). The food in it is terrible for me, who has no requirement for food. If you are new to China, you will vomit after eating.

7. Buckingham Palace (Handover Ceremony)

Buckingham Palace may not be the most beautiful building in London, but it is one of the most watched palaces in the world because it is the residence of the current British monarch Elizabeth II. This is the best place to be curious about the British royal family or watch the ancient traditional handover etiquette of the Royal Guard. When traveling here, you can also visit Downing Street 10, Royal St James Park, Hyde Park, and the famous Hyde Park, the Arc de Triomphe in Britain.

Schedule the best time of day.

It is recommended to walk all the way. Because the above scenic spots are connected, you can enjoy them step by step when you walk here.

Visit guide:

All parks and scenic spots are free except Downing Street 10 and Buckingham Palace, the Queen's official residence. Besides, the most beautiful St. James Park (with many strange wild birds) has no doors at all.

Royal Guard Handover Ceremony:

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

Special reminder: To know whether the Queen is in the palace, pay attention to the flag above Buckingham Palace. 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.

8. Windsor Castle Windsor Castle

Windsor Castle should not be regarded as an attraction in London, because it is located in the suburbs of London. I list it as one of the top ten must-see attractions in London, because it is a castle to visit. In addition, Windsor Castle is the largest, oldest and still-used royal palace in the world. It is located on a hill by the Thames, built in 1070, and has a history of nearly a thousand years. Windsor Castle has been playing an important role in the activities of the British royal family for 900 years since Henry I came to power in the12nd century. It not only condenses the 900-year history of the British Empire, but is still one of the Queen's offices. Special reminder:

At ordinary times, Windsor Castle is all open to the public. Whenever the queen comes, only the largest palace on the top of the mountain is left for her, and the rest are still allowed to visit. At the same time, it is the same as Buckingham Palace. If you want to know whether the queen is in the palace, you should pay attention to the flag above the castle. 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.

In addition, it is forbidden to take pictures inside the castle. Please pay attention to consciously abide by it.

You have to go through strict security when you get started.

Traffic information:

Train: From London Waterloo or Paddington to Windsor, Green Line: 700,701,702,703.

Opening hours:

3~ 10: 00 ~ 17: 00,1~ February 10: 00 ~ 16: 00.

Windsor Castle is the Queen's favorite castle. It is said that the Queen spent most of her life here, including her childhood.

9. London Olympic Park

Because it has just been completed, I have passed by many times and have come in person so far. However, from 2065438 to July 2002, it will inevitably become the focus of world attention. Of course, I will definitely arrive.

London Olympic Park is located in the east of London, adjacent to Stratford, London. 20 12 London Olympic Games will be held here, and the main venues have been completed. The park will be renamed Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park on 20 13.

10, Westminster Abbey Westminster Abbey

Traffic information:

Refer to the British Parliament Building.

Basic introduction:

Westminster Abbey is located in the southwest of Parliament Square in London, England. Its official name is St Peter's Union Church. It was originally built in 1050 by Edward I of England, the confessor of England, and completed in 1065. The existing church was rebuilt in Henry III in 1245, and was added in later dynasties, and was not built until the end of 15.

Westminster Abbey Appearance:

Built during the reign of King Edward in 10 century, the original Normandy architecture was transformed into Gothic architecture after reconstruction in Henry III, with a magnificent appearance. Westminster Abbey is the holy land of the coronation ceremony of the king. 1066, William I was the first king to be crowned here, and later kings held coronation ceremonies here. Westminster Abbey is also home to important people. In addition to kings and queens of past dynasties, there are monuments of outstanding talents or social celebrities, such as Newton, Darwin, Watt, Dickens and Churchill. Every year, a solemn religious ceremony is held in the temple, which attracts many believers and is also one of the famous tourist attractions.

Last year, there was another great event in Westminster Abbey that attracted the attention of the whole world. That is, the world-famous century wedding of Prince William of England and Kate, a civilian girl, was held here.

The full text of "20 12 Top Ten Must-visit Attractions in London" was finally used next to Westminster Abbey, and a tombstone was carved with a very famous sentence as the conclusion:

When I was young, I dreamed of changing the world; When I grow up, I find that I can't change the world. I shortened my horizons and decided to change only my country. When I entered old age, I found that I couldn't change our country. My last wish is to change my family, but it is impossible. When I was lying in bed dying, I suddenly realized that if I only changed myself at first, then I might change my family; With the help and encouragement of my family, I may do something for my country. Then, who knows? I can even change the world. ;
