On our way back home we stopped at London to see its the most beautiful spots (well at least some of them because the time was running fast and we didnt get enough of it). You may ask now how much time is needed I would answer in the words of Samuel Johnson: "When a man is tired of London he is tired of life: for there is in London all that life can afford".

Enough of words, lets take a journey...

We dropped off the bus at the Westminster Bridge to cross it for the London Eye. It is the highest Observation wheel at 135m high. On a clear day it offers 360º panoramic views for 40 km. A flight takes approx. 30 minutes and provides spectacular views of London and its famous landmarks. It stands between County Hall and Hungerford Bridge and was built for the millennium celebrations.

The passangers in London Eyes capsules can see up to 40 km in all directions.
P.S. not into the Earth:-)

You will be taken up in a cabin made of glass and all you have to do is to enjoy the view.

This is the brain of The Great Britain...

Walking and passing by Westminster: Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben.

Every English monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned in Westminster Abbey and most from Henry II to George II, are buried here. It is regarded as being one of the finest sights in all of England.

Officially known as the Palace of Westminster, the Houses of Parliament contain the House of Commons, the House of Lords, Westminster Hall and the Clock Tower with its 13-ton bell, Big Ben, the sound of London.

Buckingham is the residence of the Royal family (of Windsor, the best known is probably handsome William and not so much prince Charles). If you want to know the Head of The United Kingdom is The Queen Elizabeth II.

Trafalgar Square - has been extended with the closure of the busy street that separated it from the National Gallery. Named after Nelson´s victory over the Spanish and French navies in 1805, this icon is famous for Nelson´s Column, the stone lions, ornate fountains.

You are looking at the Piccadilly Circus, a popular meeting place for both Londoners and visitors. At night all place is enlivened by many illuminated adverts, here are discos, bars, shops, places for spending your money at statue of Eros.

Piccadilly Circus is a busy plaza in the heart of London at the junction of five major streets: Regent Street, Shaftesbury Avenue, Piccadilly and Covent Street. The Circus was created by John Nash as part of the future King George IV's plan to connect Carlton House - where the Prince Regent resided - with Regent's Park.

The creation of the Shaftesbury Avenue in 1885 turned the plaza into a busy traffic junction. This made Piccadilly Circus attractive for advertisers, who installed the first illuminated billboards in London in 1895. For some time the plaza was surrounded by billboards, creating London's version of Times Square, but currently only one building still carries large (mostly electronic) displays.

After a short break we took our the longest walk through fashionable streets of London heading to even more famous museum Madame Tussauds.

Inside the museum you can mingle with famous, infamous, The Royal Family, politicians, popstars and actors, both known and unknown. Next door to the museum is The Planetarium with the night-time skies uses modern technology to reveal mysterious and dramatic movements of the heaven through history into space.

You are looking at the picture of The King Henry VIII (1491-1547) who unified the country and made the end of the War of Roses, but as well he is known for the death penalty for his wives and friends during his reign and establishing the English Church. And his daughter a very sucessful, briliant woman in a men´s world of those years, Queen Elisabeth I.

Something short from the history: she created her first wax figure of Francois Voltaire in 1777, she modelled J.J.Rousseau and Benjamin Franklin. She made many wax death masks of prominent victims. After traveling throughout the Great Britain she had her first permanent exhibition on Baker Street in London in 1835. Now, in the museum could be seen wax figures of historical and royal people, singers, sports stars and film stars…One of the main attractions is the Chamber of Horrors with exhibition of victims, murders and other criminals from the past while sitting in the famous black cab.
