London is filled with so many wonderful attractions that it could take you a lifetime to explore the capital’s hidden treasures. Here are three picks for getting the most out of a day trip to this amazing city.
A History Road Trip Around London (Guest Post)
One of the best ways to enjoy a day out or two with the family in London is by taking a history-filled road trip.
First off, you might need a set of wheels to get around. There are a number of reliable car rental companies in London, such as this car hire Islington based.
Imperial War Museum and Churchill War Rooms
Sometimes it’s hard to imagine that round about 60 years ago our planet was embroiled in a world war and that elsewhere in the world, war is an everyday reality. The Imperial War Museum demonstrates the brutalities of war but also the different tales of bravery and humanity intertwined in wartime history.
The Churchill War Rooms inside the Imperial War Museum are the original Cabinet War Rooms, the wartime bunker that sheltered Sir Winston Churchill and his government during the Blitz.
The Tower of London
The Tower of London, otherwise known as Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress is a historic and iconic castle on the north bank of the River Thames.
This is the fortress in which King Henry VIII had three of his wives beheaded and where countless of other historical figures have been kept imprisoned.
A royal fortress that was also a prison that kept kings and queens and even Guy Fawkes locked up, the Tower of London is a must-visit!
British Museum
The British Museum is simply one of the most fascinating and prestigious museums in the world. Carrying approximately eight million objects which include mummies, marble sculptures from the Acropolis in Athens, Ancient Roman historical gems and a plethora of other artefacts, this museum is another essential stop on your history road tour.
The museum’s currently hosting a Shakespeare exhibition, which runs until November 25.
