The London Eye
The London Eye cannot be overlooked. This ferris wheel is 135 meters high and is the largest in Europe. It was first opened in 1999 and is a fantastic way to enjoy the city from above.

The City of London
Walking through London was like walking through history. Although the core of the city had a modern look to it, it was surrounded by historical sights. It seemed that with every new corner there was some historical building, fountain or statue to be seen. This picture was made along the Thames, across from the Tower Bridge and shows the contrast of old and new.

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament
Probably the most famous icon of London is the Big Ben and at the Houses of Parliament. Some people believe the Big Ben to be the tower itself but actually Big Ben is the 13 ton heavy bell within the tower. Nevertheless, it is a sight worth seeing and looks even more impressive illuminated during the evening hours.

The Tower Bridge
Another famous icons of London is The Tower Bridge. Magestically overlooking the Thames River, it is a favorite sight for tourists to visit while in London. There are regular exibitions at the tower and tourists can choose to stroll across the walkways at the top of the bridge as well as next to the street at the base of the tower..

Paddington Bear
The most famous bear of London has to be Paddington Bear, created by Michael Bond. Who can resist that bear wearing a trench coat, rain hat and wearing the tag around his neck, “Please Look After This Bear. Thank You”. The books of his adventures are loved by young and old alike.

The London Underground or The Tube
We found a car to be unnecessary while visiting the city. The Underground and busses reached all corners of the city and it was easy to follow the public transportation map.
