With its vast collection of artifacts, including the Rosetta Stone and the Elgin Marbles, this remarkable institution is a must-see for anyone interested in history and culture. 2. The Tower of London Delve into Britain's royal past at the Tower of London. This historic castle, which has served as a palace, prison, and treasury, invites you to explore its stone walls and learn about its many intriguing stories - such as those related to Anne Boleyn or the Crown Jewels. 3. Buckingham Palace As the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II, Buckingham Palace remains one of London's most iconic landmarks. Be sure not to miss the Changing of the Guard ceremony outside this beautiful building - an event that reflects centuries-old tradition and an unmissable spectacle for any visitor to the city. 4. The Houses of Parliament & Big BenStanding tall on the banks of the River Thames, the Houses of Parliament (also known as Palace of Westminster) is another essential destination for anyone exploring London.  Marvel at its stunning Gothic architecture, stroll along nearby Westminster Bridge for fantastic photo opportunities or join a guided tour to gain insight into British politics and see its famous clock tower - Big Ben. 5. The Tate Modern Located in a former power station on London's South Bank, the Tate Modern is an art lover's dream come true.
