London ‘2009

Londong is an amazing city if you know where and how to move around it. I visited London a few times at last and want to come back for more. Photos I am sharing with you they are from 2009 but even today they are relevant and I am sure you will enjoy seeing them.

TOP 8 most amazing places I visited in London

Buckingham Palace

One of the places in London which you must see!

Very popular destination around the world and tourists love to check it! Buckingham Palace is known around the world as Queens home, here also happens royal and national celebrations..Buckingham Palace get visited by More than 50,000 people each year. The London residence and administrative headquarters of the monarch of the United Kingdom. Located in the City of Westminster, the palace is often at the center of state occasions and royal hospitality. State Rooms which are open to visitors for 10 weeks each summer and on selected dates during winter and spring. This Summer Opening of Buckingham Palace in 2020 will be from 18 July - 27 September.

Coca-Cola London Eye

The Millennium Wheel, or people call it simply the London Eye, is a beautiful observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. From here you will see mesmerising London Panorama - Big ben, Thames river with all the little and big ships on it, bridges and much more.

Kensington Palace and gardens

Kensington Palace is a royal residence set in Kensington Gardens, in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in London, England.

Here you will see the current exhibits mainly focus on Queen Victoria from her early childhood to her Golden Jubilee. Different Clothing, furniture, toys, portraits, and other articles are for viewing.

When I was visiting I also saw Princess Diana dresses and some history about here, I suppose it is still there but not sure.

ZSL London Zoo

This zoo is the world's oldest zoo so I could not miss it.

It was opened in London on 27 April 1828, and was originally intended to be used as a collection for scientific study. It was eventually opened to the public in 1847.

Here you will find a lot of animals, bugs, birds reptiles and more, very cool place back in 2009 I hope now it is also nice. At last it looks like they take good care of animals.

BIG BEN

Clock Tower which is the main building in London and that is basicly how we recognize London city on picture and post cards. So guess what? You should see it in real life because it is as amazing as it is on photos just even better!

It was the largest bell in the United Kingdom for 23 years. Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell. The official name of the tower in which Big Ben is located was originally the Clock Tower but in 2012 it was renamed for Elizabeth Tower as gift for her Diamond Jubilee.

Tower Bridge

Another beautiful and important spot which became an iconic symbol of London is Tower Bridge!

I love this destination and I wish I was making more photos here but sadly I was getting very very sick after a cold windy weather that day. So make sure to dress up warm and maybe even some hat to wear because it can be very windy.

Tower Bridge is built between 1886 and 1894. This bridge also get often confused with London's Bridge that happens because it is located so close to the Tower of London.

Trafalgar Square fountain

This square known also as Charing Cross - it’s built in the name of Trafalgar Battle and British naval victory in the wars with Napoleon.

Beautiful and very busy central square, seems a lot of people love to hand out here for a longer time. Here you will see different sculptures of mermaids, titans and dolphins in the fountains and more.

The Guards Memorial at Horse Guards Parade

Also known as the Guards Division War Memorial. Guards Memorial Facing the Wellington Barracks which is a beautiful spot to check out.

The memorial will be listed as Grade I. It honours the 14,000 Guardsmen who died in the First World War. Five bronze soldiers, each representing a typical soldier from each of the division.

Interesting fact - the sculptures were made from guns captured in World War I and modelled on real guardsmen.
