Whether you are visiting the UK or immigrating to the UK to live, there is one place you must visit: London. As the capital of the United Kingdom, London boasts art treasures from all over the world, world-class museums, a dazzling array of international brands, and spectacular exhibitions and performances. So, when staying in London, what are the must-see places?
The Sherlock Holmes Museum and Madame Tussauds are both worth a visit. There are too many tourists at the London Eye; if you want to experience it, you can go up, but be prepared to queue. You can just view Big Ben and Buckingham Palace from the outside. You should prepare to spend a whole day at the British Museum, which is one of the must-visit attractions for traveling in the UK, as it houses many treasures that were taken from China in the past.
London has many markets, such as Borough Market (near London Bridge tube station), where various vendors sell snacks, fruits, vegetables, seafood, and all sorts of other things; it is quite fun to visit. Within walking distance, there is a place similar to a prison museum, and Tower Bridge is also within walking distance.
Additionally, there are three museums connected together: the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Natural History Museum, all located at South Kensington tube station, which can be visited together; the Royal Albert Hall is also at this station, but there is not much to see there. Hyde Park has beautiful scenery and is suitable for a stroll; if you are short on time, just passing by is enough.
London can be considered a shopper's paradise. Here are a few recommendations: Harrods is located at Knightsbridge tube station, turn left after exiting Exit 4; it is on the expensive side, and the afternoon tea at the Food Hall is very famous. Oxford Street (Oxford Circus tube station) mainly sells popular brands and can be a bit crowded with tourists. Bond Street can be reached on foot from Oxford Street and features more high-end brands.
