5 Things To Do On Your
Visit To London
Are you planning a travel
vacation to London? Even though your travels
will be worth the journey regardless of what you
do and what you see, here are five things you
must do when on an overseas European
vacation.
ONE: Visit Piccadilly
Circus
At the intersection of
five streets, you will find a well-known London
landmark. Even if you don’t know its name,
you have likely seen it before in movies or on
television. That landmark is Piccadilly
Circus.
It Really
IS A Circus
The Piccadilly Circus is a
section of London that is filled with so much
for you to do and see. Want to enjoy the
nightlife of London? This is one of the best
places to be. The area is lit with the night and
home to those looking for a fun or romantic
night on the town. If you aren’t a fan of
the nightlife, you can still enjoy the
Piccadilly Circus during the day. It is home to
many shops, restaurants, and cafes.
In the center of the
Piccadilly Circus, you will find the famous
archer statue. Be sure and view it while you're
there. Without this part of the tour, you just
haven't visited the UK!
TWO: The London Brass
Rubbing Centre
The London Brass Rubbing
Centre is located at St Martin in the Fields.
Although this activity is often geared towards
families, it is a stop that all can
enjoy.
Rub Your Own
Brass
Upon entrance in the
London Brass Rubbing Centre, you purchase a kit.
You can choose from replica brasses of medieval
knights, St George, and William Shakespeare,
just to name a few. A staff member can assist
you should you need help along the
way.
As you leave the brass
rubbing room with your artwork, you can visit
the onsite café and shop for a quick
snack and more souvenirs.

THREE: The
Third Thing To Do In London Is To
Visit The British Telecom
Tower
The British
Telecom Tower is located on Maple
Street in the Camden neighborhood.
Its size makes
it hard to miss. This landmark is an
important fixture in London, as most
cellular and internet service comes
from here.
|
Until a 1971 bombing, the
British Telecom Tower was a major tourist
attraction with a revolving penthouse
restaurant. That has since been closed. Even
still, if you are in the area, stop by the
British Telecom Tower. Its design, which
includes large satellite dishes, is unique, yet
eye catching
FOUR: You Simply
MUST Watch the Changing of the Guards On
Your London Vacation
Those who stand guard at
the Buckingham Palace are comprised of
ceremonial guards and serving soldiers. Since
many are still active in the military, the
changing of the guards is needed.
Bring Home A Picture Of
You And A London Guard
Guards can be photographed
before, during, and after the ceremony. If you
would like a picture of yourself and a guard,
visit St. James Place, where you will find a
silent guard standing alone for the sole purpose
of photographs.
The Changing of the Guards
does have varying dates, so verify this
information right before your trip or once you
arrive in London.
FIVE: Big Ben - The
Most Visited Attraction In London - Maybe In
England!
Big Ben is a well-known
landmark is London. It can been seen for miles
away. Despite the fact it is a well-known
attraction, many are unfamiliar with the history
behind it. If it weren’t for a 1834 fire
that destroyed a good percentage of Parliament,
it would not be here today.
Goin' Up? Not
Really!
Unfortunately, if you are
not a resident of the United Kingdom, all you
can do is look. At this time, overseas travelers
are not allowed inside the tower.
All Five Places To
Visit And Things To Do In London
- As a recap, a visit to
Big Ben, the British Telecom Tower, the
London Brass Rubbing Centre, and Piccadilly
Circus are all recommended. These attractions
may not all be on the top rated travel guide
lists, but they all are worth the
visit.

will help to enhance your London travel
experience. Take in the sights and enjoy your
travel vacation.
