Tower of London and Tower Bridge
Tower is the only castle located right in the centre of London.It has a significant historical value.Many famous people were imprisoned and killed there,but nowadays the Tower of London is just a museum where the Crown Jewels and armor of the royal family's ancestors are kept.
The Tower is a very beautiful place to visit and special attention is focused on Tower Bridge,which must be one of the most famous buildings in London.A fascinating legend exists about the Tower and it's ravens.It is believed that if the ravens leave the castle ,the United Kingdom will fall.In this case six ravens are always kept there.
Well,if you want to spend a sunny day somewhere beautiful,then the Tower of London would be a great place.It isn't only a wonderful attraction,but it is also a symbol of Great Britain and a great part of the UK's history is connected with the Tower.

Tate Modern museum
If you want to see some famous paintings or find out something new about the modern art,you won't have any problems with searching galleries because there are plenty of them in London.But,of course,the most known ones are the Tate Modern and the National Portrait Gallery.
The Tate Modern near the Millenium Bridge and the St.Paul's cathedral.This is,probably,the worst museum in the whole city!Exhibitions there are really odd and strange and I can hardly name works which are on show there as the art in the common meaning of this word.Maybe I am wrong,but many people who've been there have the same opinion.The museum is unexpectedly dull.
As for me,National Portrait Gallery is much better because there are nearly 2000 masterpieces from many famous artists like Van Gogh or da Vinci and it is much more exciting to see this paintings.
Well,to sum up,you can go to the National Gallery in order to see some beautiful works or you can try to find small and not very popular which are located in London,like Whitechapel gallery or Dulwich Picture gallery.
Tate Modern: 1 star
National Portrait Gallery: 3 stars

National History Museum
Tired of wondering around London and looking at old buildings?Well,don't worry,because London also has two fascinating museums:the Science museum and the Natural History museum.
To my mind,both of them really are magnificent.I totally love the Science museum because it's very interesting and lots of important inventions are on show there.The great thing is that some of them are really simply explained.
The Natural History museum is also unexpectedly exciting.All the steps of evolution are easily represented and the amazing exhibition about dinosaurs is now opened there.
In my opinion, it's really necessary to go to these museums and undoubtedly it won't be a waste of time or money (because both of them are free to enter)!
Science Museum: 5 stars
Natural History Museum: 4 stars

Westminster
What's the most famous place in London?Well,many people would say that it is Trafalgar Square,or,perhaps,Westminster Abbey.But the most common opinion is that the most popular spot in London is Big Ben.
Honestly,that giant tower with a clock isn't "Big Ben".Big Ben is a bell inside of this tower,and the tower is a part of Parliament.The whole district,where the Houses of Parliament are located,is called Westminster and this is one of the oldest parts of London.The architecture of the buildings there is unbelievably beautiful and you can feel how old the district is.
Westminster is connected with the other side of Thames,where the London Eye is located,by Westminster Bridge and it is very symbolic.The London Eye is connected with the Houses of Parliament just like present and past are connected in London.
