London's Tower Bridge
"It's a spectacular bridge built in the late Victorian era.
Tower
Bridge is truly magnificent! It's great to see the
bridge open to let ships through, which happens more often than
you'd think; around 900 times a year. Walking across the bridge,
you see the amazing views of London, although it can get quite
windy. It really gives you a sense of old London. |
 |
The London Eye
"I
love the big wheel at a fair ground, so I think the
London
Eye is a fantastic way of getting a bird's-eye view
of the city. On a good day you can see for miles and miles at
the peak, the whole of London is laid out for you, almost like a
game of Monopoly.
|
 |
Covent Garden
"It's a bit of continental Europe right in the middle of London,
with tables from restaurants and eateries spilling out onto the
piazza.
Covent
Garden is also where you'll find London's best street
performers, from singers belting out arias to mime artists
performing crowd-pleasing stunts. Whenever my family comes to
London, this is where I take them."
|
 |
Piccadilly Circus
"There's always a real buzz in Piccadilly Circus the buildings
are lit up with dazzling electric signs, and there are always
people standing by the
Statue of
Eros, waiting for friends. Eros is another great icon
of London, too! Piccadilly Circus leads you into Soho, Chinatown
and Leicester Square, areas where you'll find restaurants, pubs,
clubs, theatres and cinemas. It's where I spend my Friday
nights!" |
 |
St Paul's Cathedral
"I was only 10 when I
watched Prince Charles and Lady Diana's wedding on the
television. I remember the 25-foot-long (7.6m) dress train
trailing behind her as she walked up the aisle in
St Paul's
it looked so dramatic! I've been a fan of the cathedral ever
since: it's my nomination for the best London icon. You can walk
around the whole of the ground floor, visit the crypt, and climb
all 530 steps to the top of the dome." |
 |
Westminster Abbey
"For me,
Westminster
Abbey is more of a historic site than a religious
one. It's where every King and Queen has been crowned since
1066, and it's also the final resting place for many sovereigns,
politicians and artists: it has to be one of London's greatest
icons. I also love the choral concerts they hold here. Last
Christmas Eve I went Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve it was
amazing."

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
"The
Houses of
Parliament stand on the site of the old Palace of
Westminster, the main London residence of Kings and Queens. It's
a really stunning riverside building: a real London icon! The
clock tower is the main timepiece of the nation and home to Big
Ben (the bell). I took my son on a tour around Parliament during
the summer opening and he loved it! We even managed to climb all
the stairs to the top of Big Ben." |

Buckingham Palace
Visit Buckingham Palace, one of the world's few remaining
working royal palaces.
