Completed in 1708, Sir Christopher Wren's masterwork is recognized the world over by its large dome and classical architecture. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/along-whitehall-banqueting-house-churchill-museum-_-parliament-7.html 2008-05-01T18:10:00+02:00 2008-05-01T18:10:00+02:00 Redacción To many the name 'Whitehall' evokes 'British Government'. And, indeed, the Houses of Parliament are at one end of the road running north from Parliament Square. But there's much more along this major London artery than the Palace of Westminster, home to the House of Commons and the House of Lords. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/harrods-6650.html 2008-05-01T18:10:00+02:00 2008-05-01T18:10:00+02:00 Redacción Much of London, for the tourist anyway, is historical. Ancient buildings and centuries old monuments. Palaces and works of art from the ages. But not Harrods. Harrods, even while its origins are from over 150 years ago, is as up-to-date as the latest computer. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/the-west-end-4014.html 2008-05-01T18:03:00+02:00 2008-05-01T18:03:00+02:00 Redacción For the London traveler looking for variety, the West End is the place to be. Piccadilly Circus is next door, where antique book shops mix with the latest restaurants and Covent Garden is not far. And, then of course, there's the world-renowned theater - the rival (some would say tutor) of Broadway. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/westminster-abbey-4578.html 2008-05-01T18:08:00+02:00 2008-05-01T18:08:00+02:00 Redacción Church, burial ground, coronation site and much more, Westminster Abbey continues to attract visitors over 900 years after its founding. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/the-tower-of-london-6658.html 2008-05-01T18:03:00+02:00 2008-05-01T18:03:00+02:00 Redacción Few prisons can claim to be as popular as the Tower of London, an attraction - unpleasant for some - for over 900 years. Its twenty towers are filled with an ancient tradition of royal blood, armor and jewels and the history to match. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/buckingham-palace-3535.html 2008-05-01T18:05:00+02:00 2008-05-01T18:05:00+02:00 Redacción Though one of the most popular tourist attractions in London, Buckingham Palace is still the official residence of Britain's monarchy, as it has been since Queen Victoria's designation in 1837. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/10-thousand-things-to-do-4646.html 2008-05-01T18:03:00+02:00 2008-05-01T18:03:00+02:00 Redacción If you have five years for a vacation you might be able to see about half of what London has to offer. No matter your tastes - whether modern or classical art, monuments and museums, zoos and gardens, nightclubs, theater, music, and on and on - it's here in abundance. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/hyde-park-6690.html 2008-05-01T17:56:00+02:00 2008-05-01T17:56:00+02:00 Redacción Perhaps most famous for the Speaker's Corner, where citizens stand atop a soapbox and shout their views to the crowd, there's much more to see and do here than listen to political opinions. http://www.torrevieja.com/eng/specials/world-cities/london/kensington-palace-kensington-gardens-5740.html 2008-05-01T17:42:00+02:00 2008-05-01T17:42:00+02:00 Redacción Kensington Palace has been home to royalty from long before Queen Victoria's birth there in 1819 to Princess Diana's residence until her death to today.
