Tower of London: Tower of Terror
  • Tip Rating:
  • No trip to London is complete without a trip to the Tower of London. To do this visit the right way, take a Yoeman ("Beefeater") tour. These guys give hillarious history lessons while walking the grounds.

    If pressed for time, don't miss the Crown Jewels and the site of the block where 3 of Henry VIII's wives were beheaded.

    HOURS: Open: 1 Mar-31 Oct Mon-Sat 0900-1800, Sun 1000-1800
    1 Nov-end of February Mon-Sat 0900-1700, Sun 1000-1700.
    Closed 24-26 Dec & 1Jan.

    Buckingham Palace: Changing of the Guard
  • Tip Rating:
  • Of the three visits to London, this is the first time I've seen the changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace. Not only is the palace spectacular, but so is the crowd (get there early for a decent view, before 10:30). The parade and antics are worth the wait.

    Westminster Abbey: Westminster Abbey
  • Tip Rating: [Not enough ratings yet]
  • Westminster just hosted the 50th Anniversary of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on June 2, 2003. Sadly, I'm not part of the Royal Family and was not invited to attend. But, I did get some beautiful pictures the weekend before.

    Piccadilly Circus: Piccadilly
  • Tip Rating:
  • There isn't much to do in Piccadilly Circus unless you're headed to the theatre. The main attraction is the corner of Times Square-ish neon advertisements.
