London has one of the most multicultural populations in the world. For visitors, it is packed with exciting things to do and see: from the stately walls of St Paul’s Cathedral to spine-chilling scenes in the London dungeons. It’s one of those cities that gets under your skin, so that you want to go back again and again, and every time you do, it’s exciting, entertaining and different from the time before.
One of the most unique things about London is its history, which not only involves some of the great figures of the world but which is bloody and tragic at times as well. The London Dungeons features various moments in the city’s past, including the Great Fire that began in Pudding Lane and engulfed most of the inner city, killing what is thought to have been around 80,000 Londoners. Other segments feature the mysterious serial killer, Jack the Ripper, and Bloody Mary or Mary Tudor I, who burned 280 religious dissenters at the stake.
If you’re eager for a change after the stomach-churning sights of the dungeons, pay a visit to the Tower of London, which is on the north bank of the River Thames. This castle has played a big part in the city’s history, having served as an armoury, treasury, menagerie, Royal Mint and records office over the years. Now home to the Crown Jewels, it’s one of the prime attractions for visitors to London. Look out for the Beefeaters, who are the guards wearing the iconic bearskin hats.
It’s no secret that London sightseeing can be expensive; save some money by searching for voucher codes that will give you discounts on your tickets. You can get up to 20 per cent discounts for London attractions simply by signing up to voucher sites and applying for saver codes.
