Why London Should Be on Your Travel Bucket List

Not only is it a capital city, but it is also a history, culture and royalty museum of London. The tourists can enjoy the centuries old buildings, see the royal meanings, see the museums of the world standards and have a very rich shopping and dining experience.

London offers a wide range of attractions that appeal to different tastes and preferences of families, couples, and even the solo travellers. The London Family Tour Packages with WMTC Travel give the families the opportunity to have child friendly itineraries with a balance between sightseeing, leisure and fun activities.

A Royal Start: Buckingham Palace

No visit to London is ever complete without a visit to Buckingham palace, which is the official house of the British monarch. This great palace is a symbol of tradition and greatness of the British royalty.

Early arrival is advisable to see the renowned Changing of the Guard ceremony which is normally done during the selected days at about 11:00 AM. Seeing the guards in their traditional bearskin hat and red uniform is something one will never forget- on the part of the children and even first time visitors.

The State Rooms can also be visited by visitors during summer periods, and display royal art collections and gorgeous interiors. The advance booking of the London Tour Packages of WMTC Travel helps in cozy check-in and good coordination.

Having visited the palace, you can take a leisurely stroll in the nearby St. James park where you can see beautiful natural scenery and enjoy the natural environment.

Walking Through History: The Mall to Westminster

You may walk out of Buckingham Palace, as far as The Mall, which leads to Westminster. It is a scenic ceremonial road that has royal and political landmarks and provides amazing photo opportunities.

It will not take too much time before you arrive at one of the most symbolic images in London, which is Big Ben. Big Ben is formally referred to as Elizabeth Tower and it towers next to the historic houses of parliament.

Even though only a few people can enter the tower, its great Gothic design can be observed by visitors in the Parliament Square or the Westminster Bridge. The golden light is most effective at sunset when the tower is made lovelier by the use of the light.

Close by is the Westminster Abbey, a historic church where the kings of Britain have been crowned many centuries. When there is time, going inside will provide wonderful information on the royal and religious history of Britain.

The landmarks are commonly featured in the prime London Tour Packages so there are no chances of missing any historical attractions.

Exploring the Tower of London

During the afternoon, make your way to another historical place of interest Tower of London. This royal palace has been a royal palace, prison, and treasury during the centuries.

Within the building, one may see the shimmering Crown Jewels, the stone walls that were built long ago, and the Yeoman Warders (so-called Beefeaters) may tell them some interesting stories. The families especially love the interactive exhibits and the interesting stories that are told, hence it is a place to visit in the London Family Tour Packages.

Plan to spend at least 2–3 hours here to fully appreciate its historical significance.

Iconic Views at Tower Bridge

Beside the tower of London is the magnificent tower bridge. Confused with London Bridge, this is one of the landmarks in the city with the highest number of people taking photographs.

The walkers can take a stroll on the glass walkway at the high level to get a spectacular view of the River Thames. It is one of the attractions to families and photography enthusiasts in most of London Tour Packages that WMTC Travel provides.

A Relaxing Thames River Cruise

Once sightseeing is completed and it is time to take a river cruise along the Thames. It provides a different view of the skyline of London overtaking such landmarks as Big Ben, Tower Bridge, and the London Eye.

The river cruise is particularly advisable to tourists who are on London Family Tour Packages because it allows them to take a rest after a busy activity of walking yet visiting major attractions.

Evening in London: Food, Culture & Entertainment

London metamorphoses into a busy cultural centre as the evening sets in. Go to Covent Garden or South Bank to watch some street performances, dine by the riverside, and have entertainment.
