Your first visit to the UK capital promises a diverse array of experiences beyond the iconic landmarks like Big Ben, the Tower, Buckingham Palace, or the Sherlock Holmes Museum. Consider exploring lesser-known but equally captivating destinations. For instance, Beatles enthusiasts can't miss Abbey Road, the famous crossroads immortalized on one of the band's album covers—recreate that historic shot! Art aficionados have nearly 300 museums and galleries to choose from in London. Don't forget to take a spin on the London Eye Ferris wheel, offering stunning vistas from 135 meters high. London also hosts a plethora of captivating events throughout the year. Celebrate the Queen's birthday on the first or second Saturday of June, complete with a Horse Guards parade, musical concerts, and the royal family's public appearance. In late June, the esteemed City Festival graces London with free concerts across the city's venues. And come September, witness the Thames Festival, featuring an exciting 36-kilometer rowing race among other festivities.
