"Ageless London" London by pedersdottir

London Travel Guide: 23,063 reviews and 47,263 photos

Capstone of European culture, London surpasses every other city in global influence. The River Thames runs like an umbilical cord past its heart and out and away to its far-flung colonies. Some would be born into new nations. Many would grow to surpass their 'mother' in stature or fortune. But the memory of that early heartbeat echos on in cities as diverse as Toronto, Delhi, Washington and Sydney. That must explain why millions of us return each year to visit.

Timeless London. London universal. True to herself yet open to the world.

Major London Landmarks

There are over 800 London pages on VT with many suggestions of MUST SEE landmarks. I suspect if you are reading this page now, you already have a notion of your personal Top 10 favorites. By way of General Tips I will point out a few stops along the way that I found interesting, often because of historical associations.
