Where to go and where to walk
Even if you rent a car you won’t be able to see everything in the capital of the United Kingdom in a short time - you need to come here for at least ten days. Let's try to identify the highlights of your future route:The symbols of Albion
- The most famous landmark of London is considered to be Big Ben - one of the three tallest towers in the world. Under the dome there are four clocks installed on all the four sides, which represent four sides of the world. The sound of a giant bell spreads to 8 km and it is heard everywhere.
- Another symbol is the drawbridge called 'Tower Bridge’. The bridge was designed by H. Jones and connects the banks of the Thames. The bridge was opened in 1894 by Prince Edward of Wales and his wife. The supporting towers located parallel to the carriageway are connected above the bridge by pedestrian galleries, which have become artistic. There is the opening of the bridge 4-5 times a week.
Buckingham Palace
It is impossible not to mention the very heart of London - the residence of the British monarchs, which today is the residence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.The palace was founded by the order of the Duke of Buckingham in 1703, but since then it has been rebuilt many times and has acquired its majestic appearance. It’s hard to believe but in real life the palace is even more magnificent than in the picture. There is a beautiful garden with waterfalls and a pond on the territory of the palace, but, unfortunately, you can get there only in summer.
Nearly the most popular attraction here is the changing of the Queen’s guard, which includes the regiments of the Foot Guards and the Royal Horse Guards. The rest of your London car trip will lose its charm if you miss this extremely impressive event!
