London, situated in north-western Europe, attracts 27 million tourists every year!
From Hyde's Park legacy of protests (even featured in the board game monopoly), to Westminster, where parliament house sits, Big Ben rings and is home to Westminster Abbey! London has a full history with activities do do everywhere, the London-Eye is an example, being an enormous Ferris wheel, originally built in the millennium. As well as Tower bridge, which i might add, pails in comparison the Australia's, "The Habour bridge" but is still amazing to walk across and above no the less.

Other sites such as the Thames River and Baker Street, where Sherlock homes lived, are often very popular destinations and need good planning should you want to get there at not peak time. There is even a Sherlock museum, close to the underground there!

Talking more about museums, London has an amazing range, inducing the "National History Museum," "Science Museum" and the "National Art Museum" all on the same street! Now the BFI isn't a museum, but it's cool none the less. The British Film Institute is an awesome place to spend hours looking at new and old films and even visit a library attached to see their whole range of film should you want to take anything home!
Finishing up, London has some honorable mentions. ones which aren't 'that' exciting, but still nice to say you've been there. This list includes; Oxford Street, Bond Street, Piccadilly and Lester Square.
Lastly, i can't not go to London and not mention tow very important things!
Buckingham palace (changing of the guards and the lovey scenery) - is where the royal family lives! And did you know they don't even need ID! And to finish up the list and review, would be none other than platform 9 and 3/4 in kings cross station. This is a reference to the hit book series by J.k Rowling, Harry Potter!
