Buckingham Palace is by far the most famous Palace with a rich history and even though it’s not open all the time, people from all around the world come over to have just one glance at the huge palace which hides behind the gigantic golden and black gate.
The London Eye:
Also called the “Millennium Wheel”, this beauty was developed in 2000 and since then has enhanced the skyline of London. According to me, this is the best place to visit in London.
