We're slightly wary when it comes to man-built tourist
attractions in London. After all, there are so many real sights that we
prefer to concentrate on those. However, 'The London Dungeon' 'London
Eye' and 'Madame Tussauds
Wax Museum' are big crowd pullers. A lot of money is spent
on promoting tourism in London and it's difficult to find an objective
source of information.
It's worth booking or getting tickets in advance for any major
attractions - including The Tower of London (Discovering
London) - which will save you a lot of
time - sometimes the queues can take hours.
Manmade Attractions
London Dungeon
Visit London Dungeon to travel back to a time when Jack the Ripper lurked the streets of London, bubonic plague was rife and the Great Fire was threatening to burn London to the ground. Relive London's dark, macabre and bloody history on this fun journey through the world's most chillingly famous horror attraction.

British
Airways London Eye
Paris has the Eiffel Tower, New York the Empire State and now London has the
British Airways London Eye - an extraordinary symbol for an extraordinary
city. The world's largest observation wheel offers a spectacular way to take
in over 55 of London's famous landmarks in just 30 minutes! See the Gothic
houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, The Tate Museum, Tower Bridge and
not to mention the longest and most intricately styled stretches of the
famous Thames River.
Cultural Phenomena
Kew Gardens
A spectacular site laid out over acres in a pleasant and wealthy London
suburb, it's a great place for a sunny afternoon - it doesn't work so well
in bad weather as the various hothouses and exhibits are somewhat spread out
over the site. Kew house, the smallest of the London Royal Palaces, is
currently closed for refurbishment, but the 'English' garden and the herb
garden are excellent.
London Zoo
See what's new at London Zoo! Indulge your senses and engage your mind and with so many exciting animals. A day at London Zoo offers the ultimate back to nature experience and supports the active conservation of many amazing species. It is among the best in the world and a visit is well worthwhile.
