Full Description
Tower London (Entry Ticket)
The Tower of London is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks, situated on the north bank of the River Thames. It’s also perhaps the one with the bloodiest history. Nowadays, this medieval castle is home to the Crown Jewels and its protectors, the Yeoman Warders – commonly known as the Beefeaters.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is a 127-year-old Grade I listed combined bascule and suspension bridge in London. The bridge was constructed to ensure better access to the East End of London. Built over a course of 8 years, between 1886 and 1894, the Tower Bridge is one of London’s most popular attractions, it was the most sophisticated bascule bridge in the world.
St Dunstan in the East Church Garden
This historic church gives you the chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of London and into a quiet, tranquil atmosphere. One where history stands still. The Church of St Dunstan was originally built around 1100 and is a Grade I listed building. A new south aisle was added in 1391 and was repaired in 1631. It was severely damaged in 1666 by the Great Fire of London.

Leadenhall Market
Leadenhall Market is a thriving Victorian covered retail centre with a wide range of goods on sale. Its cobbled walkways and glass roof make it an attractive place to shop, eat and drink or simply to relax. Leadenhall Market has a magical history dating back to the 14th Century, making it one of the oldest markets in London.
Gherkins
Formally known as 30 St Mary Axe, the building has become better known by its colloquial name “The Gherkin,” which comes from its shape being similar to a gherkin fruit. London’s first ecological tall building this headquarters designed for Swiss Re is rooted in a radical approach.
Borough Market
Borough Market has a history spanning over a millennium and is widely considered London’s oldest retail and wholesale food market. It’s been operating at its current site since 1756. With over 100 stalls covering about 4.5 acres, Borough Market is also one of the largest food markets in the capital.
St. Pauls Cathedral (Entry Ticket)
St. Paul’s Cathedral is a 17th-century Baroque structure that is arguably the most iconic landmark in London. It is the most recognised work in the career of Britain’s most famous architect, Sir Christopher Wren. The cathedral sits on London’s highest point, Ludgate Hill, overlooking the rest of the otherwise flat city.
Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Footbridge is a 325m long suspension bridge which crosses the River Thames. The design was chosen through open competition and was won by Foster & Partners and Sir Anthony Caro with Arup. It was London’s first new pedestrian bridge for over a century.
London Eye
The London Eye is one of the world’s tallest Ferris wheels, or cantilevered observation wheels, and one of the highest observation decks in the English capital. The London Eye was designed and constructed to commemorate the turn of the millennium.
Big ben & Houses of the parliament
Big Ben is one of England’s best-known landmarks. Some believe it got its name from Sir Benjamin Hall, famous for its accuracy and for its massive bell.
