Westminster Abbey:
Each year, Westminster Abbey hosts more than a million visitors – all of whom agree that the price and long lines are worth it. The 700-year-old building is home, as the official website states, “Kings, queens, statesmen and soldiers; poets, priests, heroes and villains.”
Piccadilly Circus:
Just like the buzz surrounding New York’s Time Square, Piccadilly Circus has the same level of jubilee. All of your shopping, clubbing or bar hopping can be done here. What’s most special is that here is where you feel all the energy of Londoners around you. And before we forget, Piccadilly Circus isn’t an actual circus, although there are many travelers who think it is. Instead, the name simply refers to the circle.
