London is where English tradition & modern eclectic urbanism collide. A blend of history, culture, trade, politics, architecture & immigration has created an ever evolving city. From pubs to palaces, history to hip, chivalry to chic - London is all.
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace has been the official town residence of the British monarch since 1837. Its interior is open to the public during August & September while the Queen vacations. The ceremonial Changing of the Guard takes place outside.
Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a prehistoric, mysterious circle of upright stones in southern England constructed 5000 years ago. The stones are aligned almost perfectly with the sunrise on the summer solstice. It is thought to be a sacred place of ancient worship.
Westminster Abbey
More a historical than a religious site, Westminster Abbey has held almost every royal coronation since 1066. 3000+ notabale politicians, sovereigns & artists are buried here including QEI, King Henry V, Darwin, Newton & Chaucer.
Notting Hill Carnival
An annual 3 day carnival in late August held on the streets of Notting Hill. Its the 2nd largest street festival in the world, with a million people celebrating London's modern multi-cultural identity with a decidedly Caribbean & Trinidadian flavor.
