MADAME TUSSAUD and other London tourist Destinations

Another iconic destination is the London Eye, the world’s tallest observation wheel when it opened to the public in 2000. Situated on the South Bank of the Thames, it offers panoramic views of the city’s skyline, including landmarks like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. A ride on this modern marvel provides a unique perspective of London, especially at sunset when the city lights begin to twinkle.

It’s a must-do for first-time visitors seeking a bird’s-eye view of this sprawling metropolis. Trafalgar Square, with its bustling energy and historical significance, is another essential stop. Anchored by Nelson’s Column, which commemorates Admiral Horatio Nelson’s naval victories, the square is a hub of activity surrounded by the National Gallery and St. Martin-in-the-Fields church. It’s a place where history meets contemporary life—street performers entertain, and visitors can admire world-class art just steps away. The square’s central location makes it an ideal starting point for exploring nearby attractions.
