London is an amazing city. It is one of me favorite cities in the world. I loved how big it was and how easy it was to get around. There is so much to see in London that I think you could be there for two weeks and not see everything. I am going to talk about the main things that I saw.
First I was lucky enough to get a tour of the Parliament building. This building was amazing and the history behind each room was intense. To know that the kings and queens of England had stood where you are standing was amazing. I could not believe the history that has taken place there and the tradition of everything that happens inside. If you have the chance I suggest you go and look at it because the amount of marble and gold inside is ridiculous.
Another site that is a must see in London is St. Paul’s Cathedral. I suggest getting a tour when you are inside because you will learn much more than just walking around. For example you will learn how it is the third Cathedral to be on that spot and you can learn how it was saved from bombs during the war. I also suggest that you walk all 435 steps, or however many there are. It is worth it because the view you get can not be beaten. The view of London from that high is amazing and you can see for miles. When you are on the inside and on the first platform on the way up you have to try and talk to someone on the other side. You can actually talk next to the wall and someone on the other side can hear you if their ear is against the wall. This is because the wall goes in a circle. It is a lot more fun than it sounds.
Something else that you need to do if you get the chance is see the Queen and or the Royal family. When I was there it was the Queens birthday and she had a parade. The amount of people that showed up was amazing and can not really be described. You and I don’t really think about this but some people live there life only wanting to see the Queen once. Also taking a tour of one of the castles is a must. Seeing how they lived along time ago and how they are still living in them today is just crazy. Learning how they used to use pluming or the lack of it is rather interesting also. Also how they used to protect the castle and how they still have to keep the castle in good shape. I learned that the family that owns the castle has one purpose in life and that is to make money to keep the castle in good shape.
