London's oldest royal park. Small, but marvellous – go for a walk and meet the squirrels and pelicans!

Churchill Museum & Cabinet War Rooms

10 Downing Street

Holding the official residence and office of the the Prime Minister, this is probably the best known address in London.

Piccadilly Circus

A famous road junction crowned by the statue of „Eros“ in its middle. Also well-known for the electronic ads displayed on the buildings around.

Trafalgar Square

Could be called one of London's centres, with many cultural events taking place here. There's always something happening here.

Nelson's Column

The 50 metres tall column commemorates the famous admiral who fought to the death with Napoleon's fleet at Trafalgar.

National Gallery London

The gallery holds a collection of over 2,600 pieces – no wonder it is one of the most visited in the world. Come here for classic art.
