London is densely packed with tourists, residents, businesses, restaurants, landmarks, and culture. What's makes Central London an amazing part of the city? Central London is the innermost part of London. Most of the historic landmarks that tourists enjoy are actually located in Central London. Travelers in London are within walking distance to almost every activity they have scheduled. Here are some of the activities I'd recommend in Central London. All of these activities are close to each other, but if you prefer not to walk there's an amazing public transportation system. London residents call it the tube, but its official name is the underground. It's an underground subway system with trains running to each stop almost every 5 minutes. Here are the top attractions to visit in Central London.
Westminster Abbey
Westminster Abbey was constructed before the first millennium of this time period, just thirty years before 1000 A.D. Westminster Abbey is mostly famous for its role as a venue in coronations and royal weddings. Westminster Abbey is a terrific spot for any tourists who enjoy English history lessons or architecture. Inside Westminster Abbey, visitors will find coronation artifacts, wedding histories, and royal tombs. In fact, some of history's most famous kings and queens are laid here, resting in peace. The architecture uses a Gothic exterior facade. Westminster Abbey is closed on Sundays for religious ceremonies, but the church is open the other 6 days of the week for tourists.
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre
The current structure is open during the daytime for tourists to explore and learn more about William Shakespeare. This particular realization of Shakespeare's Globe is actually a reconstruction of the original Globe Theatre built in 1597. The original Globe Theatre burned down in a fire. This replica is incredibly accurate, using the same architecture techniques as the past. Don't worry though, safety hazards were taken into concern and this one is unlikely to burn in a fire.
London was William Shakespeare's home, where he wrote and directed plays for the enjoyment of London residents. Some famous works include Macbeth, Henry VI, and Taming of the Shrew, all three of which are currently being performed at this Globe Theatre. The globe's daytime tourist exhibit covers the history of William Shakespeare and his literary works. Shakespeare's plays are performed here, re-enacted by talented actors. It's also authentic plays. The cast won't use the technology of today, instead using the natural architecture of the globe to enhance acoustics. The sun acts as natural lighting for the play. You can learn more on their website, where you can also reserve a ticket to watch a show.
St Paul's Cathedral and Ludgate Hill
St Paul's Cathedral is often described as a photographer's dream come true, an accurate depiction of the church. Visitors are welcomed to enter inside St Paul's Cathedral and walk up 500 steps to go in the dome. Here, they'll have an amazing and unobstructed view of all of London.
During the 17th century, the original church built in 604AD was destroyed and the current St Paul's Cathedral took its place. You can also admire its beautiful facade while standing outside or go inside to admire its architecture. The dome shaped building provides amazing acoustics. Visitors standing on one side of the dome can hear faint whispers from the other side. The church stands on Ludgate Hill, the tallest hill in London. That's why you'll have terrific views at the top of the dome.
Churchill War Rooms
The Churchill Rooms, dedicated to Prime Minister Winston Churchill, offers an education experience ideal for history lovers and children. The other section of the museum teaches visitors about World War II. The Cabinet War Rooms was actually a command center back in World War II, where military decisions are made by generals. This museum acted as England's underground headquarters.
These days, the Churchill War Rooms hold historic war relics for visitors to view and learn from. It's a highly rated museum with plenty of interactive exhibits. Children have a fun time here because they can actually watch and hear history being re-enacted instead of just being presented with facts.
Elizabeth Tower, also known as Big Ben
You'll probably know Elizabeth Tower better by the name Big Ben. The nickname Big Ben started out as an affectionate name for the 13.5 ton bell at the top of the tower. Constructed in 1858, Big Ben is the iconic clock tower of London and is a must-see for any visitors of London. Be sure to take your camera along for a snapshot. The main bell rings once every hour while the side bells chime in every 15 minutes. Plan out your schedule accordingly so you won't miss the bells ringing. Visitors admire the huge tower while standing outside because they're not allowed in. Only UK residents are allowed to walk up the tower and they require an appointment. It's probably because the tower has a slight lean due to the uneven foundation.
