For your next getaway, we suggest you go to London to visit its many attractions. And just as we featured Spain’s must-see destinations, we are doing the same for London. So, without further ado, here are some of the places you must see in the capital city of England.
Tower of London
When you visit London, make it a point to visit as many of the city’s landmarks as you can. You can start with the Tower of London, which is right next to Tower Bridge. It is an imposing fortress right in the middle of the city, and a visit here makes for a truly majestic tour. It has multiple towers as US News points out, and you can explore 12 of them. The Tower is also home to the most famous and expensive set of jewelry in the world: the Crown Jewels. Plan ahead to make sure you have at least an hour to take the Yeoman Warders guided tour so you can get a full appreciation of this magnificent fortress.

Part of Trafalgar Square
London is a city full of landmarks, and Trafalgar Square is a very famous one. This massive town square houses, among others, Her Majesty’s Theatre, The National Gallery, Nelson’s Column, and the Admiralty Arch. Then you can unwind at the Two Chairmen, one of the city’s finest pubs. If you visit London during the festival season this is where the city’s Christmas tree can be found.
Temple of Mithras
Part of the temple
Named by Time Magazine as one of 2018’s greatest places, the Temple of Mithras is the spectacular ruin of a Roman temple. It was discovered some 50 years ago under the streets of London, and is now one of the city’s understated attractions. It is relatively obscure internationally compared to London’s other landmarks, but for it to be honored by Time Magazine speaks volumes about why it is a must-see destination. The best part is that a detour to this temple won’t take up much of your time.

Inside Wembley
Soccer is invariably representative of British culture, and the best way to experience it is to watch an actual match — preferably at Wembley Stadium. Coral labels Wembley the home of soccer, as the national team plays their home games here, and the sport was, of course, invented in England. It is also currently the temporary home to Tottenham Hotspur, one of the best teams in the Premier League, which is the topflight soccer league in England. They’ll play in Wembley for the rest of this season, which means the next couple of months are the best time to catch a match in this iconic stadium. But even if you don’t get the chance to go to a match, you can still drop by Wembley as it offers in-depth tours of the venue and a museum on the history of the stadium and soccer in general.
The above attractions are only the tip of the iceberg in terms of what London has to offer. If you are planning to stay for a few days, and are traveling on a budget,follow our ‘20 Tips to Travel Cheaply and Find Affordable Deals’
