Enjoy the fabulous spot with various activities and places to visit anytime
Here are some spots we recommend you check out if you prefer to hang around and enjoy the city’s beauty.
Experience Awe at Tate Modern!
Tate Modern, located near Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre on the south bank of the Thames, recommends public transportation or taxis due to limited parking. Unlike typical galleries, Tate Modern provides immersive, multisensory experiences with light shows, films, sculpture walks, and colour experiments. The Tate Modern Bookshop in the Turbine Hall is an excellent art bookstore ideal for gifts and souvenirs, and the Riverside Café serves family-friendly meals with picturesque views of the Thames. At Tate Modern, engaging, multisensory exhibits replace traditional galleries, offering visitors a fresh perspective on art.
The Fabulous View of the London Eye
The London Eye, an iconic landmark along the riverside opposite the Houses of Parliament, stands at 135 meters, providing breathtaking views across London. Offering a unique perspective of the city’s iconic landmarks, visitors can enjoy a leisurely 30-minute rotation in each capsule, either standing and gazing through the windows or relaxing on central benches. On clear days, the panoramic views extend over a remarkable distance of 40km. Catering to groups as well, the London Eye offers a distinctive and memorable day out for friends, adding to its status as a must-see attraction in one of the world’s most vibrant cities.
Marvel at the Gorgeous Lambeth Palace!
The Archbishop of Canterbury’s London residence, Lambeth Palace, is a medieval riverfront palace with restricted daily access. There are scheduled guided tours available for visitors to see the Crypt, Chapel, and the magnificent Great Hall, which has a lot of “wow” factors. Monthly garden open days throughout the summer also provide an opportunity to take in the exterior splendour of the palace.
