Saint Paul's Cathedral   Wren's masterpiece replaced the Old Saint Paul's which burned down in the Great Fire of 1666. See the Whispering Gallery, the Stone Gallery and the Golden Gallery which is at the top of the Dome. Well worth a view are also the tombs of Wren himself, the Duke of Wellington and Admiral Nelson - all in the Crypt.

Tower of London   The most perfectly restored medieval fortress in the country containing William the Conqueror's White Tower, the ravens and the Beefeaters, to the medieval palace of Edward I. Traitor's Gate and the Bloody Tower allow a glimpse into the medieval way of life which included torture, murder and executions. The stunning Crown Jewels are on view in the purpose designed Jewel House. Most famous exhibit is the Imperial State Crown, sparkling with a 317-carat diamond, a sapphire from a ring said to have been buried with Edward the Confessor, and assorted emeralds, rubies and pearls. Also on display is the legendary Koh-i-Noor diamond.

Westminster Abbey   Built by Edward the Confessor, the Abbey has been linked to British Royalty ever since. It has been the scene of all but two Coronations since the time of William the Conqueror and the site of almost every royal burial for some five hundred years, between the reigns of Henry lll and George XI. Many of the nation's most famous citizens are buried here too - though many of the stones commemorate people buried elsewhere. Inside monuments and stained glass windows to statesmen, politicians and poets abound.

The choice of activities facing the visitor is almost overwhelming - all the more reason to enjoy London at your leisure!
