Cathedral, Lookout

St Paul’s Cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of London, and its 111-metre-high dome is one of the city’s main landmarks. A paid visit is well worth it, particularly for the combination of the monumental interior, the crypt and the view from the dome. From the highest point, the Golden Gallery, you can see the centre of London from all angles. [btn "Buy a ticket to St Paul’s Cathedral" https://www.kqzyfj.com/click-6486361-15065626?sid…

Park, Lookout, Monument, Museum

Greenwich is a borough in east London and a very popular place to visit, relax and have fun. You'll find several attractions together, but most tourists are attracted by the most famous one: nultý poledník - Prime Meridian of The World. It was here, at Greenwich Observatory, that the zero meridian was defined and it is from here that world time is calculated.

The Great Fire of London Memorial is located 62 m from the original site of the fire, 62 m is the total height of the monument. You can reach the top of the monument in the form of a Doric column by climbing 311 steps and enjoy a pleasant view. If you just stay on the ground at the base of the pedestal, you can see the relief depicting burning London as well as the allegory of liberty. Interestingly, not many people died during the Great Fire…

As the name suggests, the Sky Garden is a park in the clouds. You’ll find this public garden on the top three floors of a modern skyscraper built in 2014 at 20 Fenchurch Street.

In 2012, London gained a striking new landmark in the form of The Shard, a glass skyscraper over 300 metres tall.

Regent's Park and the adjacent Primrose Hill are among the most popular natural areas in the heart of London.

Lookout, Garden

Garden at 120 was ultimately the only one of the three free viewing points in the City of London that we visited. We only planned our trip to London four days in advance, and slots at both the Sky Garden and Horizon 22 were already fully booked. However, you don’t need a booking for Garden at 120, and entry is free. If you want to stay within walking distance of the viewing platform, the Motel One London–Tower Hill is usually a more affordable…

Department store, Lookout, Historic building

For me personally, Battersea Power Station is one of the most interesting attractions in London. This monumental former power station now forms the centrepiece of a new neighbourhood on the banks of the Thames. Inside, you’ll find shops and restaurants, whilst the surrounding area features a pedestrian zone, a park and modern buildings; one of the chimneys is home to the unique observation lift, The Chimney Lift. If you’re visiting London for…
