It’s a perfect binding of the past and the present, a city with so many places to visit that one couldn't find the time to view them all! The Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace and on Horse Guards Parade, as well as the Buckingham Palace itself are must-see sights. Take a look at the Houses of Parliament and the famous clock tower that houses Big Ben. Other must-see London sights include the London Bridge and nearby Tower of London, the British Museum, the Princess of Diana's memorial and Madame Tussaud. Of course, you have to ride on the London Eye. London has also some of the finest parks in the world.
St John's Wood is a district of north London in the City of Westminster, near Regent's Park. It is approximately 2.5 miles north-west of Charing Cross.
