Tate Britain: Tate Britain
  • Tip Rating:
  • A gallery that contains the arts of over a 1000 years ago, there were several in particular that we couldn't get our eyes off, it was really interesting to see for sure! Changes occur at all times and you will be surprised at the beauty you'll see coming in every year, one of the things I liked about it was the changes they had made over the years and Dennis did bring that to my attention, you can learn much more prior to making out your plans about this amazing place on their website that is listed below

    Things To Do: London Eye
  • Tip Rating:
  • Wow the view you get here is like none other, well I gotta say it's one of the best, make sure to make it to this awsome place. There is lots of information on the website that you will find valuable for sure. You can book your visit in advance, it'll be worth it for sure, once again I was lucky that Dennis booked our visit. It may cost you just over 10 pounds or so but I am telling you it's an experience to remember, we definitely loved it and would do it again if we had the chance

    Things To Do: Saatchi Gallery
  • Tip Rating:
  • Be sure to make a trip down to eht Saatchi Gallery, the place that you will not forget once you have visited it, I know me and Dennis sure won't, this was one awsome display. The great art work of Charles Saatchi is here for all to enjoy, you'll find valuable information on the website but I can only say that the works of several other artists are also on display along with what is here from Saatchi!! The entry price is fairly high, but they do have samples so be sure that you have a high interest in art work if you intend to spend a good amount of time here.

    Madame Tussauds and Planetarium: Madame Tussauds and the London Planetarium
  • Tip Rating:
  • come and enjoy the royalty goods at this awsome museum, little ol' Dennis felt like a king, it was like he had never been in museum before. Well I couldn't blame him, he felt really happy about being there. It's nice though cause we got get a feel for some of U.K's idols and celebrities along with tons of other famous people, it's so interesting when you see one and you're "ooh there's Elvis" I love it!!! and we only paid about 15 pounds for our whole tour, it was just awsome to see so much that exists in England that we don't usually hear about. One of the guides there was really mean, I actually remmember his name still (Charles something), not only did he not give us any info but he shrugged poor Dennis away like he didn't even exist. I doubt he still works there but there are several nicer guides and they'll give you all the info that you need.
    Awsome place!

    Things To Do: Wallace Collection
  • Tip Rating:
  • Oh you didn't hear it from me or Dennis, but there is a funky smell just outside the Wallace Collection, me and Dennis had a laugh about it but well once you get in no need to worry just enjoy this fine exhibition of goods of fine arts collections, it was really close to the Bond tube station, so no worries there, easy to get to and enjoying the collections is one thing that'll keep you busy for hours perhaps even gets you coming back the next day, it was something to keep our diaries rolling.

    Westminster Abbey: Westminster Abbey
  • Tip Rating:
  • Westminster Abbey has so many parts that you can go into and see but the places changes its regulations and stuff so much, the website is so precise when it comes to that stuff so you guys can view it for info, I place it here for everyone's comfort as I know websites can bring you up to date detail at all times (http://www.westminster-abbey.org)
    But boy is it every amazing to see the history here and reading about it just gives me the chills, up and down my spine! There are events that occured here over 900 years ago! fantastic to read even most fantastic to visit.

    Whitehall and Downing Street: Whitehall
  • Tip Rating:
  • This was surely a place that me and Dennis both adored, we loved it so much that we came back again and again. British art and history that you read and see on television, you hear about it from so many sources yet when you see it with your own eyes, the thousands of years that have gone and the history that has been preserved. Be sure to check out http://www.number-10.gov.uk for awsome info and to know more about planning out your activities in the area.

    Buckingham Palace: Buckingham Palace
  • Tip Rating:
  • Awsome place but make sure you're there at the right time cause it opens when the Queen goes away to Scotland near the end of the summer and I do suggest booking your vist cause oh boy the last thing you want to do is wait and wait for no reason and get nothing at all, that almost happend to us but luckily Dennis surprised me and told me when we were waiting that he had booked a time, oh I was so happy I just wanted to kiss Dennis right there but then I was like well what if the ladies see this, can't do anything to make the ladies get the wrong idea here!! There is awsome info on the website about the Palace, it's a sure go if you got the time and are in the city in the right time period.

    Tate Modern: Tate Modern
  • Tip Rating:
  • Yet another awsome gallery, this is however very huge and I gotta say Woaaa Nelly!! That was probably the best use of "Woaaa Nelly" ever! You can spend hours and hours here and you'll still need more time, we decided to divide it up into two days because boy it'll take up your whole day and you really wanna do other things just as me and Dennis did so we made the plan out so that we can do a little bit of each and see the Tate Modern in more than one session. The lovely art is collected from all around the world, world beauties like no other and it gives you a feeling of excitement, which is the reason I think we never wanted to leave the gallery. Best of all is that there was no charge, however there are fees for activities that are not there at all times, however on a regular basis no charge will be there, so get on and enjoy cause this Tate Modern is a place you gotta put on your list!!
