London Attractions

If you are coming here for the first time, or returning for another trip, we have gathered hundreds of London attractions in one place and created walking routes.

We are travelers ourselves, and we know how much time trip planning takes: browsing dozens of websites, choosing the most interesting sights, and pinning them on Google Maps...

That is why we – Ever.Travel – created the mobile app “Travel Planner and Guide” for iPhone and Android.

If you do not have time to plan, the app will help you see the highlights with ready-made routes.

If you prefer planning everything yourself, you can choose the most interesting places from hundreds of attractions, build your own route, and then use it as your personal guide to London.

Read the detailed guide on planning your trip on iPhone or Android.

1. Big Ben – the famous clock tower that embodies British precision and punctuality. Together with the Houses of Parliament, it forms one of the most recognizable silhouettes in the world.

2. Buckingham Palace – the official residence of the British monarchs. This is where you can see the royal guards in red tunics and bearskin hats and, if you are lucky, catch the Changing of the Guard ceremony.

3. The Tower of London. Founded in 1078, this fortress has served as a palace, treasury, prison, arsenal, and even a zoo, and today it is one of the city’s top attractions.

4. Trafalgar Square, named after the British navy’s greatest victory, is surrounded by landmark buildings such as the National Gallery and St Martin-in-the-Fields. Nelson’s Column rises in the center of the square.

5. St Paul’s Cathedral, standing on London’s highest point, can be seen from almost anywhere in the city. It is as iconic a symbol of the British capital as the Tower or Buckingham Palace.

8. Hyde Park – central London’s great park, famous for Speakers’ Corner, where anyone can stand up and deliver a fiery speech. The picturesque Kensington Gardens adjoin the park.

9. Madame Tussauds. In this legendary wax museum, you can see nearly every world celebrity – not in person, of course, but in remarkably lifelike form.

10. The London Eye – one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world. From a height of 135 meters, roughly the equivalent of 45 stories, you get a wonderful view across the whole city.
