London is one of those places that has so many different attractions, it really is hard to choose just one.  However, if you do have to choose just one – or two even, you have to make sure that you stop by the Royal Botanic Gardens.  The Royal Botanic Gardens is certainly one of the hottest places and I can tell you for sure that it is beautiful.

Spread over about 300 acres of land, the Royal Botanic Gardens are open year around and there is a ton of beauty, so many scents and certainly some sights to see here.  You can find all sorts of different sights to see!

So remember, if you go to London, you definitely have to make sure that you check this out!

One thing that you will notice whenever you go in London there are different views.  Take the London Eye for example.  This little ride certainly makes a ton of different views of the city and all of them are breathtakingly beautiful!

The wait is a little long most of the time; however I can tell you that it is definitely worth the wait.  Typically, on a good day, you can catch the wait at about thirty-minutes however; it can go a lot longer sometimes.

If you are looking for a fun and awesome ride, I can tell you for sure, that the London Eye is certainly the best option for you!

When I think about London, the first thing I think about is the luxury hotels that they have there.  There are truly some beautiful hotels in the UK and the Athenaeum is one of those brands that I think is not only beautiful – but five star and definitely the accommodations fit for a queen.  However, have you seen The Athenaeum that overlooks London’s Green Park?  This hotel in particular actually has a ‘living wall’ – for real!

This particular design was given to the hotel by Patrick Blanc and it is actually a vertical garden that covers the hotel’s eight-story façade with an exotic array of greenery that is rooted into an irrigated felt surface that was put down on this particular side of the wall.  This impressive garden is home to herbs and plants from all over the globe.

If you happen to get to stay in the rooms along that wall – you are a lucky one!  You can really reach out and touch the green for proof that it is real!

You have heard about it, you may have seen it in popular culture, but the only way to truly experience the beauty and excitement of Trafalgar Square is to visit it yourself. It is the biggest square in all of London, and ever since the Middle Ages, it has been considered a central meeting place.

There are so many cultural and historical sites to see there, you absolutely cannot and should not pass up a visit. Consider Nelson’s column, for instance, which is located right in the middle of Trafalgar Square. Originally it was built to commemorate Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson’s victory over the dreaded French fleet in the Battle of Trafalgar, which took place October 21, 1805.

The National Gallery is there as well, which contains over twenty three hundred paintings. There you can see famed works by Renoir, Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet, and Leonardo da Vinci, among many others.

London is one of those places that so, so, so many people immediately think of whenever they want to go to England as a vacation.  London is definitely a place to go and it is certainly the best place in the world to visit.  There are so many things to see and so many different things to do!  For example, did you know that there are bike tours that you can take all over London?  Well, I certainly did not until I took one!

Another thing that you absolutely have to check out whenever you are in London is the National Gallery.  This is one of London’s houses that actually has some of the greatest collections of the very best European paintings in the whole, wide world.  Entrance is free and for once, these pictures truly do belong to the public.  Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre is another must that you should see – it is, after all, where all of the Bard’s plays were first stages.

So if you are looking for something to do in London, I swear there really is something for everyone in this small piece of heaven!
