Notes: Wellington Arch, also known as Constitution Arch or
(originally) the Green Park Arch, is a triumphal arch located
to the south of Hyde Park in central London and at the
western corner of Green Park. Built nearby between
1826-1830 to a design by Decimus Burton, it is based on a
smaller original which caught the eye of Edward VII at a
Royal Academy exhibition. The sculpture depicts the angel
of peace descending on the chariot of war. The face of the

Piccadilly Square
Rating:
Square
Visit Time: 30 mins

Also known as Picadilly Circus, Piccadilly Square is one of Londons
most iconic locations. This major street junction forms a large open
space with easy access to main shopping and entertainment areas.
Interestingly, this is not a location for an actual circus as we know it
today. Circus is the Latin word for circle, and this popular area is a
round shape.
Similar to Times Square in New York City, Piccadilly is famous for
neon lighting and advertising signs. Although every building in the
circle used to be pretty much covered with lighted advertisements,
there is now only one building that holds the tradition. And, most of the
lights have been replaced by LED bulbs, so the display is memorizing
day or night. Visitors to this center will also find a fountain monument
to Lord Shaftesbury who was a notable philanthropist in the Victorian
era. He was much loved and the statue is often referred to as the
Angel of Christian Charity. Atop this memorial is a statue of the Greek
god Anteros, although most people believe it is his mythological
brother Eros. Whatever god he is supposed to be, be sure you get
your picture taken in front of this memorable figure.
Just to the south of the circus is the Criterion Theater, which was
originally opened in 1874. To the east is London Trocadero which is a
huge six story indoor amusement park. Inside there are restaurants,
bowling alleys, movie theaters, and arcade games. Picadilly Circus
really is the place to go for everything; it is the center of it all. There
are restaurants, and entertainment for the whole family. There is a lot
of shopping, people watching, and is a great place to take
stereotypical tourist pictures.
Tourists can spend as much or as little time there as they want, but at
least walking through is a must. If you have more time, be sure to
check out all the venues this amazing place has to offer. This is a
great place for anyone whether travelling with small children, or
looking for more of a place to sit and have some beers. This place has
it all.

Abbey stands next to the Houses of Parliament on the edge of the
River Thames and parts of the structure have survived since 1050
although the building began as a shrine established here in 616.
Edward the Confessor had the Abbey built here in order to redeem
himself in the eyes of the Pope after the king failed to take a required
pilgrimage. The Abbey was completed in 1065. Christopher Wren and
Nicholas Hawksmor were responsible for the addition of the two
western towers in the 1700s. The original style was Romanesque but
between 1245 and 1517 it was redesigned in the Gothic style. Parts of
the King James Bible were translated here and later the New English
Bible was compiled here.
The building is famed for its medieval architecture and features like
the coronation throne. In the Abbey you can see the Poet's Corner
where the likes of William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and
Geoffrey Chaucer are buried. Among the royals entombed here are

Landmark
The building widely referred to as the Houses of Parliament is actually

called The Palace of Westminster. It is located on the banks of the
River Thames and is the place where Britain's House of Lords and
House of Commons convene.
The site where the Palace of Westminster stands today was originally
the site of an 8 th century Saxon church called West Minster (west
monastery). In the 10 th century the royals paid an interest in the site
and when Edward the Confessor came to power in 1042 he moved his
court to Westminster and had a Benedictine abbey and royal church
built.
Under William the Conqueror Westminster Hall was built, it is the
largest hall of its kind in Europe. Westminster gained importance and
grew as different kings made additions to the edifice. In 1265 the two
houses of parliament were created, the House of Lords met at
Westminster while the House of Commons had no permanent
location. In the 13 th century King Henry III made several alterations
including the Queen's Chapel, Queen's Chamber and the Painted
Chamber or King's Chamber which have survived. St. Stephen's
Chapel (1184-1363) was redesigned over the years with beautiful
glazed windows, a vaulted wooden roof and walls covered with murals
in scarlet, green and blue shades. In 1365 King Edward III had the
Chapel of St. Mary Undercroft completed; it was here that the royal
court and household prayed. In 1547 the House of Commons joined
the House of Lords also meeting at the palace thus Westminster
became the undisputed central seat of government.

medieval palace which survived are the Cloisters, Chapter House of
St. Stephen's, Chapel of St. Mary's Undercroft, the Westminster Hall
and the Jewel Tower which was built in 1365. After the fire a new
neo-Gothic structure was designed by Sir Charles Barry and Augustus
Welby Pugin and completed in 1870.
The parliament building has three towers, the octagonal Central
Tower; Victoria Tower and the most famous Elizabeth Tower. Victoria
Tower (1860) stands opposite Elizabeth Tower, here the records of
both houses of parliament have been kept since 1497. During the
parliamentary year the British flag is flown on top of the 98 meter high
tower.

Trafalgar Square is a traffic intersection in central London, the large
square at its center is used for many major events and celebrations in
London. During the 14th to 17th century the square was the courtyard
of the Great Mews stables for Whitehall Palace. In the 18th century
when the mews were cleared away, John Nash began designing a
new street connecting Charing Cross and Portland Place, this street
formed the open square in the Kings Mews area and in 1830 the
square got its present name. The National Gallery on the square was
designed by William Wilkins; in 1838 Charles Barry developed plans to
create an upper terrace by the National Gallery connected to a lower
level square by a sweeping staircase. In 1843 Nelson's Column was
designed by William Railton and in 1845 it was erected on the lower
level square. Fountains and statues on the square were designed by
Barry and Sir Edwin Landseer designed the bronze lions which sit at
the base of Nelson's Column.
Address: Westminster, London
Nelson's Column marks the center of the square, the Corinthian
column is 51.6 meters tall and at the top is a statue of Lord Nelson
who died in the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar.
Further renovations were made to the square in 2003 including
increased pedestrian areas, a caf and public toilets. Also on the
square is St. Martin-in-the-Fields and the Edith Cavel statue. The
square was once famed for its pigeons which would flock here to be
fed by tourists, today feeding the pigeons is illegal according to bylaws
as the birds were deemed a health hazard and threat to the square's
art work. The square is a popular venue for social and political
protests.
The square has 4 plinths (stone pedestals intended for statues) they
hold a bronze equestrian statue of George IV; a statue of General Sir
Charles James Napier; Major-General Sir Henry Havelock and the
fourth Plinth in the north-western corner of the square is used to
display commissioned art work.

St. Martin-in-the-Fields
Churches
Rating:
Visit Time: 1 hour
St. Martin-in-the-Fields is an Anglican church that is still an

active place of worship as well as a tourist attraction. This
beautiful cathedral style church is more than just a church; it
is also a venue for concerts and other events. There is more
to do there than just visit the chapel.
The congregation of this church community is both English
and Chinese. The Mandarin community adds to the cultural
aspect of the entire experience. There are regularly
scheduled worship sessions which are open to the public,
so if a spiritual encounter interests you, this is one of the
most notable places in England to experience that. At least
twenty different services at various times are sure to meet
the needs of any guest who wishes to join in the celebration.
The congregations welcome visitors gladly and receive over
700,000 people every year.
Under the church itself are centuries old crypts. Far from
being dank and dusty, these crypts are home to a famous
caf. The environment is obviously like no other, and the
food is remarkable. It is open seven days a week with varied
hours, so be sure to check the schedule. On Wednesday
nights there is Jazz music to accompany the dining
experience, but tickets are required for these events so plan
in advance. If the old crypt style dining doesnt interest you,
there is another caf in the courtyard which is managed by
the same staff so the food is held to the same high
standard. The only difference is that it is out in the open air.
As a concert venue, this location is one of the most coveted
and most enjoyed in all of London. Choral, chamber and
instrumental musical concerts are performed by candlelight
in the evenings. This is truly a memorable and enchanting
experience. Anyone who enjoys music and culture will have
a really pleasurable time here.
Although admission to the church and crypts is free, the
concerts and other musical entertainment require advance
ticket purchase for various prices. If attending around
Christmas time, there are very special music programs just
for that time of year.

Top Attractions

Today Covent Garden is a London district located between Martin's
Lane and Drury Lane; but Covent Garden is best known as the site of
the city's oldest market where there are now boutique stores, classy
restaurants, theatres, a place to see street performers and shop in
typically English markets. In the 13 th century a 40 acre kitchen garden
belonging to the Abbey of St. Peter at Westminster covered the
Covent Garden area, the garden provided fresh fruit and vegetables to
the city for over 700 years. In 1540 the land was slit up by the
monarch and given to a number of rich and powerful Earls. In 1630 the
Earl of Bedford commissioned Indigo Jones to build elegant homes on
the land and London's first public piazza. It was here that St. Paul's
Church was built and where London's first Punch and Judy Show was
staged. The Theatre Royal was built on Drury Lane and many famous
London actors were buried in St. Peter's Church; in 1732 the Covent
Garden Theatre was built. A regular vegetable market was established
on the Piazza which grew to be the most important market in the city.
In 1870 a glass roof was installed to cover the market, this roof
remains today. Many of the original historic buildings remain.

The Tower of London is in fact the oldest fortified castle in

Europe, it is located on the bank of the Thames next to
Tower Bridge and from the moment you are greeted by the
Beefeaters (Yeoman Warders) in their traditional garb you
will feel like you have stepped back in time. Within the grey
fortified walls are a number of attractions which can keep
you busy for a couple of hours at least.
The first fortress built on this site was a Roman fortress and
you can still see the remaining Roman wall. The Tower of
London began as King William's castle founded in 1078, and
the White Tower dates back to this period, later in 1240 King
Henry III moved in. He too made extensive renovations and
additions to the complex. With the White Tower as its center
more structures were added and the fortress became
multi-purpose. It was not only a palace residence but also a
prison, royal mint, zoo and treasury.
The tower's top ten highlights include:

Take advantage of the entertaining and informative Yeoman

Warder Tours which run every half hour and are included in
the price of your ticket. See if you can spot any of the 6
resident ravens which live on the Tower grounds. Legend
has it that if the ravens leave the Tower, the Kingdom will
fall and so 7 ravens (6 plus one spare) have one wing
clipped to prevent them flying too far away. To see some

Visit Time: 1 hour
Tower Bridge, London crosses the Thames River next to the

Tower of London, the stunning iconic drawbridge is often
confused with another Thames bridge referred to in the
children's song "London Bridge" is falling down. In the late
1800s Tower Bridge was one of the bridges constructed to
carry the masses of pedestrians and vehicles wanting to
cross from one side of London to the other. The City of
London Corporation needed an innovative design and so
they held a competition to which 50 designs were submitted.
The chosen design was devised by Horace Jones and John
Wolfe Barry, it took 8 years and 432 construction workers to
complete the bridge in 1894. To avoid disrupting the river
traffic the tower was to be a bascule or see-saw bridge
which could be raised to let tall ships through. Today the
bridge is still raised about 900 times a year to allow tall
vessels to pass by. The bridge can be raised 83 from its
horizontal position.
Address: Tower Bridge Rd., The City, London

Admission: 8
Opening Hours: Apr - Sep, daily 10:00 am - 6:00
pm. Oct - Mar, daily 9:30 am - 5:30 pm. Last entry

Tube: Tower Hill
Two piers were sunk into the river bed to support the weight
of the 11,000 tons of steel which formed the bridge
framework. The two towers on either side of the river were
joined together by elevated walkways. Finally Cornish
granite and Portland stone covered the framework making
the appearance more appealing and protecting the frame.
Originally hydraulics were used to raise the bridge using
steam power from the engines in the Engine Rooms within
the base of the towers. Today the hydraulics are produced
using electricity and oil rather than steam.
Visitors to Tower Bridge today can walk or drive across and
you can also visit the Tower Bridge Exhibition. A visit to the
Tower Bridge Exhibition begins with an animated video
explaining the bridge's history. Then visitors can walk along
the upper walkways which are 42 meters above the river.
From here there are spectacular views across London. The
East Walkway (there are two parallel walkways) is home to
the "Great Bridges of the World" photo exhibit which
features more than 20 of the world's greatest bridges. In the
West Walkway the "This is London" exhibition displays over
60 illustrations by the painter Miroslav Sasek from his
classic children's book This is London. Next visitors enter
the Victorian Engine Rooms where the original equipment
used to raise the bridge can be seen as well as a virtual
recreation of a bridge lift. The latest exhibition is shown here
called Art at the Bridge #4.
If you're visiting with children you can download the Guy Fox
Explore Kit which will enhance their experience at the
bridge. Families can save quite a bit on entrance tickets by
purchasing the family ticket for 12.5 instead of 8 for adults
and 3.4 for kids. The easiest way to reach Tower Bridge is
by underground train to the Tower Hill station.

London Bridge Experience

Activity
Visit Time: 1 hour

This attraction was inspired by the many gory and scary historic
events which London Bridge has witnessed. The site is located next to
the bridge itself and takes visitors through haunting and thrilling
experiences set in London's past. The attraction is similar to the
London Dungeons, costumed actors take groups of visitors through
the vaults beneath the southern abutment of London Bridge past
scenes that come alive depicting exciting historic events. Actors in
costume surprise visitors with unexpected appearances as visitors
travel back in time.
Among the tour's highlights are the scenes from Boudicca's battles,
the Great Fire, Viking attacks and more. Along the route through the
London Experience visitors cross rickety wooden bridges, stumble
through fog, see an executioner and run from Jack the Ripper. The
tour draws to a close as you go through the Terror Time Tunnel, after
that visitors can choose whether or not to visit the London Tombs. A
ticket to the London Bridge Experience includes free entry to the
London Tombs located on the site of a former plague pit. The London
Tombs are suitable for visitors over 11 years old due to the nature of
the attraction which could be too scary for younger visitors. The
London Experience is not only scary and exciting but also education,
visitors learn about London's history and about the bridges which have
stood on this site. There are recreations of the various bridges which
have stood in the same place as the present London Bridge.
Foreign visitors can use the attraction's "audio-wand" to experience
the site in their own language. If you visit during October you can see
a special Halloween show, "Phobophobia" which is performed each
year.

Avon, where he lived in London, the kind of atmosphere that
brewed around him, his marriage, his affairs, the person
William Shakespeare was. You even have guided tours
which span for 30 minutes. These guided tours are also
available in a variety of other languages apart from English,
such as German, French, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and

The Tate Modern is part of the Tate Museum family which
includes four major sites, the original Tate opened in 1897
and in 2000 the present Tate Modern was opened. The Tate
Modern is the most visited museum in the world and apart
from the fine art work the building which houses the
museum is an attraction in itself. Housed within the former
Bankside Power Station the gallery retains much of the
original building's character. The impressive entrance
through the Turbine Hall once housed the power plant
engines and is a massive 152 meters long and 35 meters
high, another distinctive feature is the tall central chimney.
The galleries are housed in the former boiler house and
further expansions are planned for the museum using the
plant's former redundant oil tanks.

journey through the significant stages of the development of
modern art. The art on display has been chosen for its
unique contribution to the history and development of art.
