    London x 2020!!
    Latifa S.

    London!! I had a few hiccups on my first 2 trips but third times always the charms. I'm starting to love it. Including my walk/ runs on this bridge. Just beautiful and very busy to walk on. Views of Tower of London, London eyes and so on. Very actively busy waterways with taxis, cruise and boats. It's just nice to walk on. My recent trip here in 2020, I stayed by the riverbanks: views of this bridge day and night from my room. I loved it!

    Always many tourists on this bridge, picture with Big Ben and London Eye. It's beautiful view standing on the bridge looking at the water. Many great places to check it out near the bridge.

    The Westminster Bridge is a lovely 820 foot long bridge in London that crosses over the River Thames to connect Westminster with Lambeth. The bridge was completed in 1750 and is open to cars as well as foot traffic. During our visit in London we took Rick Steves' "Westminster Walk". Our walk started on the Westminster Bridge, where we could spot several landmarks including, the Thames River, Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben), the London Eye, and Westminster Abbey. I highly recommend visiting this bridge for beautiful views of London. We took some beautiful photos here and best of all it was free, unlike the London Eye that costs over 20 pounds.

    Westminster Bridge is a road-and-foot traffic bridge over the River Thames, linking Westminster on the west side and Lambeth on the east side. Spectacular views of the Coca Cola London Eye, Big Ben, The Thames River and Parliament...Truly is breathtaking. This is the first tourist spot we visited...highly recommend going during the day and at night. You won't be disappointed...two different kinds of experience. And best of all, it's free and a great spot to spend time with family and friends. "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." - Saint Augustine

    7/20/17 We spent quite a bit of time in this general area because it is right in the middle of everything. The bridge has a large pedestrian zone that is absolutely littered with people. There are even some street performers trying to make a buck and some guys selling kitschy stuff at either end also. The views on the bridge are amazing and there are plenty of great photo ops. Best thing is its free! The view of parliament right along the river was my favorite of them all.

    When you're flanked by Big Ben on one side and the London eye on the other, it's already pretty cool. Though the walk over the water and seeing down stretches of the river on either side is the added bonus. It does get a bit crowded but we didnt have to really squeeze by anyone. Particularly during sunset this area is quite stunning. The only drawback is crossing any of the intersections on either end is a bit time consuming.

    The views onto the River are amazing as well as The Eye but foot traffic is insane so I would not recommend it to anyone with small children/strollers. I felt like my kids were going to be swept away with the crowds the entire length of the bridge.

    Selfie on the bridge!

    It's a bridge. It's historical and I do think that you should see it. There are great river views and you can look upon the London Eye.

    At night the London Eye has blue lights turned on, so it's worth seeing the view in the light and in the dark.

The best view of the parliament buildings can be had by crossing Westminster Bridge and looking back.

Since Prince Charles and Camilla do live here, Clarence House is only open 1 month of the year in August. However, if you buy tickets and sign it and get it stamped at the end of your visit, it's good for unlimited future visits for one year (though really, it's good for all of August next year because they're not open year-round). The tour is 45 minutes long and each tour is a bit different. Your guide will go over highlights that they're interested in, so if you get a different guide, you'll learn, hear, and see different tidbits and aspects of each room. Even though there are several stories, you only experience the rooms on the first floor. At the end of your tour, there is a gift shop for souvenir purchases. Beware of the condescending gentleman (if you can even call him that!) at the register who provides a snoot attitude when he deems you haven't purchased enough to receive a paper bag.

The 90 minute tour cost £15 plus general admission. We booked on-line two weeks in advance. We arrived early with our tickets stamped for opening at 9:30. Security staff scans and queues up visitors by ticket times and there was a line that had well over a thousand people waiting to enter. All general admission visitors are given a headset with a wonderful guided tour upon entering. There is a logical pathway to follow and learn about the Abbey. Hannah was our private tour guide. She was wealth of information about the history of the Abbey and the people that were important. As part of the tour we had access to parts of the facility that were not part of the normal tour route. We were also allowed to sit in the choir seating for a brief lecture. It was invigorating to sit where royalty had been. The tour is fabulous and very worth the money. The Abbey is mostly French Gothic, but a mix of styles as different King's added on sections and chapels during their reigns. Much of the Abbey was restored after the damage caused by looting after the Reformation and additional damage caused by the WWII Blitz bombing. Most of the stained glass has been replaced. The history dates back over 1000 years and we saw evidence of an ancient door and uncovered mosaics. There is a lot to see, including graves of many notable people and royalty. Restrooms are available towards the end of the tour (but expect a line). There is a cafeteria and several gift shops. Current renovations are adding additional guest restrooms. Wear comfortable walking shoes, expect uneven floors. Arrive a bit early to go through security. I highly recommend a visit. I wouldn't bring young children.

The gothic tower sits close to the Thames and attached to the Parliament building. The building was designed by Augustus Pugin and Charles Barry. We did not go inside for the tour which cost £35. Ordering tickets is complicated as tickets are only released on the second Wednesday of each month and can only be ordered on line. (I don't even understand what "released on second Wednesday" means. It makes planing complicated.) Anyway, tickets weren't available for 3 months out. Great views of the Tower can be seen from Westminster Bridge. In the mornings, it is a great experience to hear Big Ben ring, counting off the hours. The clocks are said to be the most accurate clocks and have far outlasted my watches. Elizabeth Tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Definitely worth a visit and if you can order tickets three months in advance, a tour!

Because this tower is right across the street from the Parliament, the exhibit inside the tower pretty much talks about the Parliament, the laws, and how the Parliament it is at the present time.

It was built in approximately 1365 to house the treasures of Edward III and its alternative name was the King's Privy Wardrobe. It is a small three storey building constructed of stone, which stands across the road from the current Palace of Westminster. The bottom floor of the tower features a 14th century ribbed vault. It was located at the far southern end of the palace complex, and was built into the palace's defensive walls but was detached from the main buildings, which explains its survival of the great fire of 1834 which destroyed most of the palace. It displays an exhibition about the history of Parliament 'Parliament Past and Present', and the second floor includes panels telling the story of this small but important building. The third floor continues with the more modern role of the tower as the home HQ of the British weights and measures. It currently costs £3.20 to enter (adults). This is a bit expensive, even for london, for what you actually get. Apart from a few display boards, albeit new, and a few artifacts from history, you will be in and out within 20 mins and onto your next site. The site contains a small shop but no visitor toilets.
