London, United Kingdom
The capital city of both England and the United Kingdom has been a focal point of Western civilization for centuries. This amazing city in the British Isles is famous for places like Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey.
Big Ben(Outside Visit)
"Big Ben" is actually the name of the bell inside the clocktower located at the northern end of Westminster Palace. The tower itself is officially known as "Elizabeth Tower." It is one of England's most recognizable landmarks.
St. Paul's Cathedral(Outside Visit)
Sitting atop the highest point in London, this cathedral is woven deeply into the national identity of England. Figures such as Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher are buried here, and Princess Diana's wedding took place here, among many other occasions.
Buckingham Palace(Outside Visit)
One of the most famous palaces of the British monarchy, Buckingham Palace dates back to 1705. In addition to serving as a museum and art gallery, it has been the main residence of the royal family since 1837.
The changing of the guards
This world-famous ceremony takes place either at Buckingham Palace or at Horse Guards Parade, depending on the day. These guards will wear red tunics and unmistakable bear skin hats, marching to Buckingham Palace.
The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace currently takes place on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday (subject to availability), Where there is no Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace we will see the Changing of the Guard at Horse Guards Parade instead
Trafalgar Square
This large plaza in central London is a popular tourist attraction. The square is home to several monuments, sculptures, and fountains, but the one that features most prominently is Nelson's Column, a 170-foot-tall war memorial.
