Unique features include the iconic White Tower at its center and the Yeoman Warders—also known as Beefeaters—who provide fascinating insights into this historic site.
Buckingham Palace serves not only as the official residence of Her Majesty The Queen but also symbolizes Britain's monarchy to millions around the world. This grand building is significant for hosting state occasions and ceremonies while offering visitors glimpses into royal life through events like Changing of the Guard. One unique feature is its stunning garden—a rare green space in central London—that spans 39 acres and provides an oasis amidst urban hustle.
The British Museum houses one of the most comprehensive collections dedicated to human history across cultures from ancient times to modernity. Its significance stems from being a global treasure trove where you can explore artifacts such as the Rosetta Stone or Egyptian mummies that tell stories beyond borders.
