London is one of the world’s great cities with an extremely relevant and diverse cultural history. It is well known for being the primary or central location of the royal family, which has been in the world’s eye since the Middle Ages. Well, that’s a difficult statement due to the technological advances in recent decades, though the world has certainly been aware of this great city since that time and much of the political and social transitions has depended on it. Meanwhile, it remains one of the top tourist destinations for people from the United States and all over the globe. And of course The Globe Theatre is one of the main reasons for it and essential historical landmarks.
Meanwhile there are numerous other attractions and landmarks that intrigue and amaze the millions of people who visit London hotels every year. And while these people come from all over the world and have different interests and demographic backgrounds some of the main attractions, such as The Tower of London, West Minister Abbey and others are popular with everyone. And interestingly, one of the things almost everyone wants to do while they are in town is take a ride on the Tube, which is London’s underground subway system. Of course there is a transportation service that contributes to its popularity, but the majority of people simply want to take a ride.
The Tower of London is one of the most fascinating landmarks of the city and its history is at times controversial but also tracks the history of the city itself as well as England. Some of the prisoners in the Tower have been part of the royal family, including Queen Elizabeth for a period of time while she was a princess. West Minster Abbey is one of the oldest buildings in London and is estimated to date back to middle of the seventh century A.D. The building is one of the most beautiful in the city and was built and designed in the Gothic style. It is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Since 1066 the coronations of monarchs has been held at the abbey.
