Travel video about destination
London in
England.
London is an exciting and pulsating metropolis of the new millennium, a melting pot of both people and culture and a fascinating city of diverse contrasts.
The City Of London contains the
Tower, an historic landmark with a remarkable history. A mighty medieval fortress with 13 towers that throughout its 900 years, has served many functions and from the
Middle Ages, it was a heavily fortified prison.
After the medieval
St. Paul's Cathedral was destroyed by a devastating fire in 1666,
Christopher Wren was ordered to re-build it with a dome. During the 36 years of its construction, its design was frequently altered until finally a wonderful masterpiece of church architecture was created.
The Monument is the city's tallest freestanding stone column and a reminder of the
Great Fire of London that destroyed 80 percent of the city. In four days, more than 13,000 buildings were destroyed and the
Monument was built on the site of the bakery in which the fire began.
Since the reign of
Queen Victoria,
Buckingham Palace has served as
London's royal residence. A garden of mulberry trees once grew on the site of today's palace and the
Duke of Buckingham subsequently added a simple brick built residence.
Around 60 years later,
George II purchased the site for his wife and
George IV eventually began to design an extensive palace complex.
The highlight of any holiday in London must be the largest
Ferris wheel in the world, the
London Eye. Situated on the banks of the
Thames, it rises high into the sky, opposite the
Houses of Parliament and
Big Ben.
The former centre of the largest empire in the world, London is still a city of superlatives that attracts millions of visitors each year. Exciting both day and night, London is a modern city with age old traditions and a long and colorful history.
