Tourist attractions Tower Bridge 早在100多年前的维多利亚时代，人们修建了伦敦塔桥。如今，它已成为伦敦最著名的地标之一。这座横跨泰晤士河的大桥分为两层，上层是人行道，下层桥身可以吊起，让大型船舶在桥下通过。伦敦塔桥内部设有展览，带你了解世界上最有名的桥梁工程和它们的历史。快登上45米高的塔桥人行道一瞥泰晤士河全景，顺便参观一下维多利亚时代的桥梁操作引擎吧！

Tourist attractions Hyde Park 海德公园是世界最大的城市公园之一。占地142公顷（350亩），种植了400多株树木。园内拥有大型湖泊，草坪，观赏花圃，让你完全忘记自己身处伦敦市内。海德公园还是戴安娜王妃纪念喷泉的所在地。

Tourist attractions The London Eye 伦敦眼，又名千禧之轮，官方又称英航伦敦眼，或默林娱乐伦敦眼。伦敦眼是坐落在伦敦泰晤士河畔的摩天轮。整个建筑高135米（443英尺），轮盘直径有120米（394英尺）。它是欧洲最高的摩天轮，也是在英国最受欢迎的付费旅游景点，每年接待超过350万游人参观。

Tourist attractions The British Museum 大英博物馆创建于1753年，博物馆内的珍藏贯穿了两百多万年的人类历史。在位于博物馆中央的大中庭屋檐下，游客们可欣赏到世界各地的文化宝藏。罗塞塔石碑，帕特农神庙雕塑，埃及木乃伊等举世无双的博物馆展品，每年吸引580万游客到此参观。

Tourist attractions The House of Parliament 英国议会大厦及其附属钟楼，俗称大笨钟，是伦敦数一数二的代表性建筑。准确来说，大本钟指的是时钟塔内超过13吨重的大钟。为纪念英国女王伊丽莎白二世女王登基60周年，英国决定将“大本钟”钟楼更名为“伊丽莎白塔”。大本钟报时精确，全靠巨大钟摆上的一叠硬币装置。二战时炸弹摧毁了下议院会议厅，钟楼幸免遇难，大本钟的钟声依然准时响起。每当钟面上方被光照亮时，民众便知道议会正在召开会议。

Tourist attractions St. Paul’s Cathedral 伦敦最值得参观的两个教堂之一，附近为伦敦的金融区The City。圣保罗教堂是巴洛克风格建筑的代表，其圆形屋顶尤其壮观，是世界第二大圆顶教堂，英国第一大教堂。英国著名建筑师Sir Chris Wren呕心沥血45年才全部建设完成。1981年英国王子查尔斯与戴安娜王妃的盛大婚礼曾在此举行。爬上教堂的271级台阶可以登上顶端，俯瞰伦敦。还可以在教堂的咖啡厅享受英式下午茶。
