A trip to London is incomplete without strolling through Green Park to catch
a glimpse of Buckingham Palace. The palace has been home to the British
Royal Family since 1837. It features 775 rooms and the largest private
garden in London.
Some of the palace is open to visitors so you can see a little piece of the
royal lifestyle. From outside, watch the world-famous Changing of the
Guard. This procedure happens a few times every day and is a great
opportunity to witness a historic tradition and the utmost discipline of the
Royal Guard – who are all wearing the iconic London bearskin.Platform 9 ¾
King’s Cross is one of the city's busiest locations with a train station that has
been open since 1852 serving much of the country. Recent renovations have
given a sleek, modern look to the station – try to find the hidden tunnel with
walls that light up with art.
But for many people around the world, King’s Cross is known best for
something else: the station that Harry Potter uses to journey to Hogwarts.
Now you can visit Platform 9 ¾ in real life, in King’s Cross railway station.Baker Street
One of the cultural staples of London is Baker Street, best known as the
street that Arthur Conan Doyle’s infamous detective Sherlock Holmes lived
on.
Today you can find a Sherlock Holmes museum near the Underground
station, especially popular after the BBC revival ‘Sherlock’.Brixton Academy
For those on a hunt for live music, London has thousands of unique venues
to offer. Venues span every niche or you can just go to an open night at a
local pub and see some up-and-coming musicians. One of the best venues
in town, though, is Brixton Academy in south London.
The Academy was originally a theater and cinema called the Astoria,
opened in 1929. Fifty years later, the venue became the Academy and now
hosts some of the biggest rock and pop acts in the world.Want to know more? Scan the QR Code to read the
