London, the largest city in Western Europe, is a city of great importance both currently and historically. The capital of England and key city of the United Kingdom, this is a city that operates 24 hours a day and caters for every possible taste or desire. Because it is such an important city, there are a multitude of attractions to see, both modern and historical. The Tower Bridge was one of the engineering marvels of its day, while the Tower of London is a medieval treat that originally was the place where many important prisoners were imprisoned – and executed! But if there aren’t enough scary stories or tales of dangerous prisoner’s another great tourist attraction is the London Dungeon, a place that takes you through some of the worst moments of London’s history. Outside of being frightened to sleep, you can take the more relaxing option of the more typical site seeing options like a boat ride down the Thames, a ride on the London Eye, a visit to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, or even go see Buckingham Palace and the surrounding grounds. Open top buses and all night cafes are plenty, to allow you to have lots of energy for the sites and extensive shopping you can do!
