BANKSIDE

The bankside area on the Southern bank of the River Thames is a spot of  interest for any visitor. The Southwark Playhouse is a Dickensian courtyard  which can sit around ninety people, located on Southwark Bridge Road.
The Playhouse performs pieces that range from classic to contemporary masterpieces which also include learning activities for local children. The Bankside Gallery displays an impressive range of prints and watercolour paintings and it hosts the Royal Watercolour Society. Admission is free.
Opposite St. Paul’s Cathedral is  the Tate Modern.  Across seven floors the Tate Modern displays work of arguably unparalleled brilliance and originality. Linking the Tate Modern and St. Paul’s Cathedral is the Millenium Bridge. The infamous wobble with which it began has since been corrected, such that it now transports thousands of pedestrians over the Thames every day.
Fortunate visitors my also catch the annual Southwark Festival. The entire area of Bankside es easily accessed via the London Underground and via the regular bus service.

THE CITY

The City of London is a strange place. To a Brit, the ‘City’ doesn’t mean the whole of London but simply the ‘Square Mile’ (actually 1.08 square miles) as it is colloquially known.
Its boundaries encompass the financial heart of London: an area where 30% of the high-tech office buildings were built within the last ten years; an area which houses the London exchange market where a staggering $637 billion worth of trading (32% of global business) takes place every day. That’s more than the turnover of the next three largest centres, New York, Tokyo and Singapore combined.
280,000 ‘city gents’, stockbrokers, traders and shopkeepers pile into the City every weekday morning, and pile out again every evening. The average lunchtime will see the streets filled with a seething mass of dark suits; the health conscious scurry to find a quick bite from one of the many excellent sandwich bars, while the more choleric disappear into one of the countless dungeonesque wine bars or city pubs where daylight is an ugly word and a lunch hour can conclude well after sunset.

GREENWICH

The Millenium Dome does not stand out for its popularity nowadays.  But if it has undoubtedly served to place the spotlight on what is a place for the future.
It can be accessed easily via the  Docklands Light Railway, six stops south from Canary Wharf
Until now Greenwich’s main claim to fame has been that the world sets its clocks by their time. In the Royal Greenwich Observatory a simple line on the floor defines where east meets west and The Prime Meridian, a hypothetical line joining the north and south Poles, also signifies Greenwich Mean Time from which all other time zones are measured.
The National Maritime Museum is home to the world’s largest maritime historical reference library, as well as a wealth of nautical exhibits and artefacts. In the Old Royal Naval College, designed by Sir Christopher Wren, is the Painted Hall, a front runner for the title of finest dining hall in the world. Here, after the Battle of Trafalgar, the body of Admiral Sir Horatio Nelson was laid prior to his State Funeral at St Paul’s Cathedral.
Down on the waterfront the Cutty Sark, last of the great tea clippers, enjoys a new existence as one of London’s most popular attractions seen across the world every year as the London Marathon winds its past this historic ship.

HAMPSTEAD

The concept of London being made up of a series of villages is illustrated no better than in the delightful north London suburb of Hampstead. Georgian in character and adorned with 800 acres of rolling heathland, Hampstead has always been a centre for literary activity and the intelligensia. Hundreds of small shops, very good restaurants and smashing pubs add yet more allure. The place does become a little too crowded on Saturdays and Sundays, but a walk on the heath should relieve any sense of claustrophobia!
Hampstead is the perfect place to spend a day simply strolling around: traversing the heath with its glorious views over London, navigating the little lanes and streets, peeking at the beautiful architecture and supping pints of ale at historic pubs

Famous residents have included A.A. Milne, Peter O’Toole, George Orwell,  William Blake, Dirk Bogarde, Richard Burton, John le Carré, Agatha Christie, Sigmund Freud and even Charles de Gaulle.Despite its beauty, Hampstead remains quite unaltered by the tourist hoards and therefore a perfect spot for a day out of central London

PICCADILLY CIRCUS

Piccadilly Circus is something of a central hub in the West End and a common meeting place. At its centre is the statue commonly known as Eros but which is actually called the Angel of Christian Charity. A number of famous streets spring from the Circus including Piccadilly itself with its smart hotels and shops, including the elegant Fortnum & Mason department store that was founded in 1707, Hatchard’s (London’s oldest bookshop founded in 1797), The Ritz Hotel and The Royal Academy.
Travelling in the opposite direction from Piccadilly Circus is Shaftesbury Avenue with its many famous theatres. The largest road leading from Piccadilly however is the graceful Regent Street designed by John Nash in 1812 as a boulevard for shopping, and still used as such.
Further up Regent Street lies Oxford Circus across which runs Oxford Street. Despite drawing a constant flow of visitor’s, Oxford Street is unremarkable and filled with tatty bargain shops as well as the chain stores you would find in any big city. The best idea around Oxford Street is to venture down the smaller streets which often contain old pubs and interesting shops. For example, St. Christopher’s Place just opposite Bond Street station leads to an entirely different world of up-market boutiques, intimate restaurants and charming specialist shops. Otherwise, pop down Poland Street for a drink and snack at the excellent Porters Bar - a real relief from the crowds.

CHELSEA

Splendidly chic boutiques, exquisite antiques shops and hundreds of charming eighteenth and nineteeth century houses make Chelsea one of the most desirable areas in London. King’s Road is the main shopping area and provides a wealth of opportunity for the eager shopper. Most outlets (especially on the King’s Road) tend to be small, with smart fashionable bars and restaurants fighting for space in between. This quarter is floodes with glorious 18th and 19th century buildings that have lodged and still do  many artistic and literary names.
Chelsea is indeed one of London’s most delightful residential areas and the ideal place for a stroll on a summer’s day. What’s more, if you’re around in the evening you may well bump into the future King of England: Prince William has taken something of a shine to the exclusive restaurants and bars in the area!
Famous residents of Chelsea have included George Eliot, Sir Alexander Fleming, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Captain Scott, Bram Stoker, and Oscar Wilde.

OXFORD STREET

Oxford Street is one and a half miles end to end. Most shops open 10am until 6 or 7pm. Some open Sunday 12 to 6pm with late nights on Thursday. Oxford Street is best known for Selfridges and the other big department stores which are all found in the section from Marble Arch to Oxford Circus, along with most of the big-name multinationals. It’s more of the same as you continue towards Tottenham Court Road, but generally on a smaller scale. Oxford Street claims to be the busiest street in Europe. We can find reknown shops such as Dorothy Perkins, Mother Care, Selfridges, Top Shop, Clarks, Harmony, shops where men and women alike can find what they have been so long looking for.

CAMDEN TOWN

Camden Market is one of London’s largest weekend tourist attraction, offering fashions, exotic foods and a rich diversity of people. The areea of Camden has been described the literature of Charles Dickens, George Orwell and Mary Shelley-highlighting its importance to the culture of London.
Regents Canal was built through Camden at the end of the nineteenth century. The canal was a vital supply of produce for London-warehouses and production lines soon appeared in Camden where goods were processed before being sent further down the canal to the City.
Today Camden Market consists of four separate markets, hundreds of stalls and many permanent shops. The Market becomes a hive of activity every weekend and attracts shoppers from right across the Capital.

KNIGHTSBRIDGE

Knightsbridge is not only home to Harrods and Harvey Nichols but also home to other well known high street shops and boutiques. There are also a large number of top quality restaurants and bars here.

COVENT GARDEN

You could spend a whole day at Covent Garden as it has everything you could want from fashion boutiques and high street shops to street entertainment and a to world famous Opera venue. You can also find a number of different places to get food, from a cafe where you can enjoy live classical music, to top of the range restaurants where you can get a five course meal.

CHARING CROSS ROAD

For all those who love second hand or antiquarian books, the charming collection of old bookshops on and near Charing Cross Road is a must. Many can be found in Cecil Court near Leicester Square Station and have only survived as they are charged a miniscule (peppercorn) rent. They are certainly a welcome addition to the West End – and to find true bargains, spend a while scouting around their musty cellars! There are a number of new bookshops nearby too - Foyle’s is the biggest, with a stock of over 7 million titles.

CONCERTS

The Proms are a series of classical music concerts each evening between mid-July and mid-September at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Some of the concerts are shown on BBC television (BBC1 or BBC2) and most are broadcast on the radio (BBC Radio 3). You can also listen online even if you are not in the UK. These concerts have taken place since 1895 and have become a popular British tradition. The most famous concert is the Last Night of the Proms in mid-September. The traditional ending of these concerts includes Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1 in D major”, Wood’s “Fantasia on British Sea-Songs”, Elgar’s arrangement of the hymn “Jerusalem” and Britten’s arrangement of “The National Anthem”. It is an occasion famous for its patriotic atmosphere.
To be able to apply for tickets for the Last Night you usually need to buy tickets for 6 or more tickets for other Proms concerts. It is easier to buy tickets for a similar concert at the same time known as Proms in the Park. This takes place in Hyde Park (opposite the Royal Albert Hall) and in some other parks across the UK.

MUSICALS

Musical theatre is a form of theatre combining music, songs, spoken dialogue and dance. The emotional content of the piece – humor, pathos, love, anger – as well as the story itself, is communicated through the words, music, movement and technical aspects of the entertainment as an integrated whole.
The most famous location for theatre in the UK is in London’s West End (the British equivalent of New York’s Broadway).A typical price range for tickets to a West End show is £20 - £50 per person.Group rates may be available, typically for 10 or more tickets to the same show.Tickets can usually be booked several months in advance.  The cheapest seats are usually sold out earliest. Offers are most likely to be available in the few weeks before a performance, when some of the highest priced tickets may be sold at a discount to make sure that the theatre is full.

Here is a list of the most popular West End Musicals:
Chicago. Cambridge Theatre. Sexy jazz musical set in Chicago in the 1920s
Grease. Piccadilly Theatre. Based on the film about high school lovers Sandy and Danny
Les Miserables. Queens Theatre. Musical drama based on Victor Hugo’s novel, set in post-revolutionary France
Phantom of the Opera. Her Majestys Theatre. Andrew Lloyd-Webber musical: the story of a phantom at an opera house in 1880’s Paris.

THE THAMES ROUTE

Whilst the sightseeing services go no further downstream than Greenwich, the London Showboat continues past the O2 (previously known as the Millennium Dome) and on to and through (in normal circumstances) the Thames Flood Barrier which has protected London from the worst effects of tidal storm surges for over a quarter of a century. The London Showboat goes past the following places and monuments: the Houses of Parliament, the County Hall, the London Eye, the Royal Festival Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Millenium Footbridge, Shakespeare Globe’s Theatre, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, and the old Royal Naval College, in Greenwich.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE

Buckingham Palace is located in the heart of London, near Green Park and the Houses of Parliament.
Besides being the official London residence of The Queen, Buckingham Palace is also the busy administrative headquarters of the monarchy and has probably the most famous and easily recognisable façade of any building in the world.
Although Buckingham Palace is furnished and decorated with priceless works of art that form part of the Royal collection, one of the major art collections in the world today, it is not an art gallery and nor is it a museum. Buckingham Palace is one of the world’s most familiar buildings and more than 50,000 people visit the Palace each year as guests to banquets, lunches, dinners, receptions and the Royal Garden Parties
During the summer, the Changing of the Guard takes place at the front of the Palace and is a popular event for visitors to the capital from 1st April to Early July and on alternate days at other times.

LONDON BRIDGE

London Bridge is located near the City Hall in the South East of London. It took eight years to build and opened in 1894. For many years London Bridge had been the only bridge over the Thames. As London grew and developed so more bridges were built but these were west, or upstream, of London Bridge. Finally in 1876 it was acknowledged that the east side of London with its large and growing population needed a bridge. It took until October 1884 for a suitable design to be approved as it had been realized that any building work should not disrupt or interfere with the flow of shipping downstream from London Bridge. The towers and high-level walkway re-opened to the public in 1982 as part of a guided tour - “The Tower Bridge Experience”. There is no charge for crossing the bridge itself.

WESTMINSTER ABBEY

Tradition says that the Abbey was founded around the 7th century; however records show its origins lie in the Benedictine monastery which stood on this site circa 970AD. This was enhanced and enlarged by Edward the Confessor a devout Christian who ascended the throne in 1042.
The Norman Abbey built by Edward the Confessor survived until 13th century when Henry III had it demolished and rebuilt in a new architectural design. Over the next couple of centuries further additions and changes were made but it has largely remained the same for the last three to four hundred years though there have been minor alterations and additions carried out in the last two centuries.
There is so much to see at the Abbey apart from its design structure and stained glass windows like items such as the Coronation Chair which was used by Edward I in the 13th century and by every monarch since for their coronation, and also the organ first played in 1723, the tomb of the Unknown Warrior, the Abbey museum located in the Norman undercroft, the College Gardens dating back some 900 years, the Cloisters and Chapter Library. Services are held regularly in the Abbey whose function is dedicated to worship and prayer and visitors are welcomed to participate whenever able. The Abbey has over 3 million visitors each year whose entrance fees contribute to the upkeep and running of the Abbey which receives no state aid.

BIG BEN

Big Ben is not the name of the famous London Clock as many believe, it is, in fact the name of the 13-ton bell (named after a bureaucrat) which can be found inside the clock. The Bureaucrat that the bell was named after was Sir Benjamin Hall. The Bell can be found in St. Stephen’s Tower which is at the northern end of the Houses of Parliament. The bell itself is not very old compared to the houses of Parliament. When Parliament is in session after dark a light shines from the top of St. Stephen’s Tower.The clock is huge, the tower is a mere 320 feet high with the clock faces being 23 feet wide. The minute hands are 14 feet long and cover the distance of an average man every 5 minutes. The bell was completed in 1859 and at the time it was the largest bell in the United Kingdom. The tower which holds the bell is also referred to as the clock tower for obvious reasons. The accuracy of the Clock is controlled using old pennies.

HYDE PARK

Hyde Park came into existence in 1536 when the land was acquired for hunting. It has developed over the years in response to the wishes of the Crown and the public and has a tradition of events and public spectacles. There are links with the military through the presence of Knightsbridge barracks on its boundary and the continuing practice of firing Gun Salutes from the Parade Ground. The two most famous features of the Park are the Serpentine, a lake of some 11.34 hectares used for swimming, boating and fishing; and Rotten Row, the world famous riding track, which celebrated its tercentenary in 1990 and was the first public road to be lit at night in this country. Despite its heavy use the Park manages to convey an air of rural tranquillity much valued by both tourists and local users. There is a British tradition in Hyde Park at Speakers Corner, that anyone can speak to the crowd that is usually assembled, on any subject they wish.

BRITISH MUSEUM

The British Museum in London, England is a museum of human history and culture. Its collections, which number more than 13 million objects, are amongst the largest and most comprehensive in the world and originate from all continents, illustrating and documenting the story of human culture from its beginning to the present
The British Museum was established in 1753, largely based on the collections of the physician and scientist Sir Hans Sloane. The museum first opened to the public on 15 January 1759 in Montagu House in Bloomsbury, on the site of the current museum building. Its expansion over the following two and a half centuries has resulted in the creation of several branch institutions, the first being the British Museum of Natural History in South Kensington in 1887. Until 1997, when the current British Library building opened to the public, the British Museum was unique in that it housed both a national museum of antiquities and a national library in the same building. Since 2001 the director of the Museum has been Neil MacGregor.
As with all other national museums and art galleries in Britain, the Museum charges no admission fee, although charges are levied for some temporary special exhibitions.

LONDON EYE

The London Eye offers the visitor a spectacular view of the city of London. It has been described as one of the most striking structures in the world, with its 135 metres high. London’s famous streets, churches, palaces and monuments spread out below in a panoramic scene - and, on a clear day - views that stretch 25 miles to Windsor Castle. The Eye takes you on a gradual, 30 minute, 360 degree rotation that will give you the kind of panoramic views usually only accessible by helicopter or aeroplane. For Londoners and visitors alike, it really is the best way to see London and it’s many celebrated landmarks.
