National Gallery is an art museum in Trafalgar Square in the City of Westminster in Central London. Founded in 1824, it houses a collection of over 2,300 paintings dating from the middle of thirteen to nineteen century.

I will show you some of the paintings painted by world famous artists such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Rembrandt and Van Gogh.

Buckingham Palace London

Buckingham Palace is the official London residence the and administrative headquarters of the reigning monarch of the United Kingdom. 

I will show you the process of the changing of the Guard(subject to availability and weather condition). 

Tower of London

Tower of London was built by the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078. It is also to emphasis to the public that he is in charge now.

 

The height of this tower relatively to all the low houses around it is like we are looking at The Shard(The tall glass tower) today.

 

It is one of the UNESCO World Heritage listed site.

 

It used to be used as a palace, fortress, prison, military barrack and Royal Mints to produce coins.

 

Today it is one of the most visited attraction in London. It is also the house for the Crown Jewels to the British Monarchy. I will show you one of the most famous diamond in the world "Koh-i-Nûr (Mountain of Light)". It is on the crown of Queen Elizabeth the Queen's Mother. 

Westminster Abbey London

Westminster Abbey is one of the UNESCO World Heritage listed building. It was used for three purposes which are Coronation for the Monarch, wedding and burial or funeral events for royal families and famous people. 

It is dedicated to Saint Peter as the story goes one foggy evening, a young fisherman called Aldrich on the River Thames saw a vision of Saint Peter near the site. This seems to be quoted to justify the gifts of salmon from Thames fishermen that the abbey received in later years. In the present was, the Fishmonger's Company still gives a salmon every year.

 

The proven origins are that in the 960s or early 970s, Saint Dunstan, assisted by King Edgar, installed a community of Benedictine monks here.

I will show you the shrine of Saint Edward the Confessor, Coronation chair, tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Queen Elizabeth 1 along with her sister Queen Mary Tudor and many more memorials. 

British Museum London

British Museum was founded in 1753 and is the oldest public museum in the World. The origins of the British Museum lie in the will of the physician and collector, Sir Hans Sloane. 

This museum is one of the greatest and third popular Art museum in the world with collection of over 80 thousand objects from all continents It is also the first museum in the world to be open to public. 

The current quadrangular building and the facade of the building with 44 ionic columns, closely based on the ancient Greek temple has been constructed in 1850. The pediment in the middle represent the civilisation of human. 

 

Among the great collections, I will show you a few of the highlighted objects from Ancient Egypt, Assyria, Greece, China and England including Rosseta Stone, Partenon Scupture and Mummies. 

St Paul Cathedral

St Paul's Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral, the seat of the Bishop of London located in City of London. It is dedicated to Saint Paul.

 

It was designed in the English Baroque style and built by Sir Christopher Wren in the seventeen century after the Great Fire of London in 1666.
