2. Take a walk in the parks You have probably
already heard all about the non-stop rain and fog
in London, and you expect to be stuck indoors all
the time. Well, the truth is that this is (more
or less) a myth. London has lots of sunny and
pleasant days during the year and you may well

landmarks For those of you who are interested
in popular landmarks and historical monuments,
you will NOT be disappointed! Lot of those have
entrance fees if you want to go inside, but whos
to say you cannot admire them from the outside?
The Houses of Parliament and the famous Big Ben
clock tower will leave you breathless with their
grandeur and magnificence. Tower Bridge, one of
the most beautiful bridges in the world, is
definitely a must-see, especially when magically
lit up at night or emerging from the early
morning mist. Then theres the iconic St. Pauls
Cathedral, the royal seat Buckingham Palace, and
more contemporary landmarks such as the
famous Tate Modern gallery and London Eye.

in London are to be had along the banks of the
River Thames. It is the longest river in England
and the second longest in the United Kingdom. Its
source is at the Thames Head in Gloucestershire
and empties into the North Sea at the Thames
Estuary but there is no stretch of this river
that is so highly populated with iconic buildings
and monuments as the stretch traversing the heart
of the London city.  5. See the street
performers at Covent Garden The former fruit
and vegetable market that was founded in Central
