London is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, this is partly down to the fact that it is the England's capital and partly that it is home to a number of world famous attractions. London has a great history which is reflected in some of its buildings and monuments but it also boasts some more modern tourist attractions which are just as popular.
The houses of parliament as it is sometimes known or the palace of Westminster is a popular sight in London due to its size. Before becoming the political building that it is today, the palace was originally used as a residence for royalty. As and when they were required, the palace of Westminster has had additional buildings added to it over the years as the original building became too small for the events it was being used for.
Possibly the most famous sight in London and one of the most visited is Buckingham Palace. Despite Buckingham Palace being the queen's official London residence, areas of the palace are opened daily for tourists to view. However even without entering the palace, the outer view of the palace and its grounds are often enough to leave visitors amazed at its sheer size and the immaculate way in which it is kept.
The London eye has become not only one of the most popular attractions for tourists to experience buy also one of the most famous sights in London. The giant Feriss wheel was formerly known as the millennium wheel, stands at an amazing 443 feet tall and is situated on the bank of the famous river Thames. A full rotation of the wheel takes around 30 minutes to complete and the wheel consists of 32 separate glass passenger pods.
The o2 or the millennium dome as it was formerly known is still one of the most breath-taking sights in London. The dome is the largest of its kind in the world previously played host to the millennium exhibition which lasted for the whole of the year 2000.
