If you want to travel around London, this introduction may let you have a good journey during your travelling time.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is a bascule(悬索) bridge in London, UK. It crosses the River Thames and is named because it's near the Tower of London. It's the first bridge from the mouth of the Thames (there are 15 bridges on the river). It's also a symbol of London. The bridge was built in 1886 and opened to the public on June 30, 1894, connecting the north and south areas of London.
St. Paul's Cathedral
St. Paul's Cathedral is a landmark in London and the largest church in the UK. Known for its milky-white Baroque tower top, it's a great place to view London. After the 1666 fire, it was redesigned by Christopher Wren and took 35 years to complete. The interior is magnificent. There's a Whispering Gallery and many famous tombstones. It's a representative of British classical architecture.
Big Ben
Big Ben, a London landmark in the Parliament clock tower by the Thames, has kept time since 1859. A must-photo spot, it's grand and complex. After renovation, it's still a British pride and cultural symbol. People gather here on New Year's for fireworks.
