Buckingham Palace

At the end of the Mall is the palace of the famous Queen aka Queen Elizabeth II. Over 60 years of reign but the palace still remains older than the Queen Mother, be reassured. Open to the 18th century Buckingham Palace is the real core of the British monarchy. They say time than anything, a brothel was at Palace Square before its construction ... Despite the passage of time and sometimes even damage (9 times hit by bombings during the 2nd World War), the palace Buckingham is still there and the flow of tourists outside the gates to watch the Royal Guard or try to spot the Queen is still substantial.

London Eye

London's newest monument but is already recognized worldwide for the following reason: from the time Hollywood fart or something in a movie is that it's necessarily an icon. The London Eye is abused in Fantastic 4 Silver Surfer, and then that's it. Ok this is a little light I admit, but with 3.5 million visitors a year, the 32 capsules EDF wheel (representing the 32 London borough) allow you to enjoy a view of the surroundings up to 40 km to the round fine weather. And to be honest with you I never mounted, it might be time, right?
