Exploring London's Historic Landmarks

The Tower of London, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has stood for over 1,000 years as a royal palace, fortress, and prison. Its significance lies in its role as the home of the Crown Jewels and its storied past involving infamous figures like Anne Boleyn and Richard III. Unique features include the iconic White Tower at its center and the ravens that are said to protect both the tower and England itself.

Buckingham Palace serves as both an official residence for British monarchs and a symbol of national pride. The Changing of the Guard ceremony attracts millions each year, showcasing not only tradition but also Britain's rich history in monarchy. One unique aspect is that it boasts 775 rooms—making it one of the largest working palaces in Europe—and offers limited public access during summer months when Her Majesty is away.

The British Museum houses an extensive collection spanning over two million years of human history from around the globe. It holds immense significance as one of London's most visited attractions; visitors can explore artifacts such as the Rosetta Stone or Egyptian mummies without any admission fee. A standout feature is its Great Court—a stunning glass-roofed space that connects various galleries while providing breathtaking views inside this architectural marvel.
