A great experience in London is the hop in and hop off buses, which qwe took on 1st June, 2019. These buses have a running commentary and take you around London in the bus and the cruise across Thames. London is so full of History that it is just not possible to visit each and every place. The buses is an easy way out and you can just relax, have a look at the different places and in case you want to explore any destination just get down and spend your time and take the next bus. The bus took us to Kensington Palace, the London Bridge, the Royal Albert museum, the St. Paul Cathedral,Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, the Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey and Trafalgar Square. The trafalgar Square attracts a large number of people and the streets were crowded with people of all nationalities . All these names sound so familiar to us and it was fun seeing them through the bus and then through the river ways. The Parliament House, the Big Ben and the London Eye are a major attraction. I could see a lot of scaffolds around some of these structures and repairs were being carried out.Both Paris and London were bombed during the second World War and major buildings were destroyed in both the places. While Paris built its structures exactly the way they were London, opted for modern building too. Hence London has a mix of traditional. Medieval architectural styles along with the modern. It is fun to look at some of these medieval buildings and their Gothic architecture that have stood the race of time and continue to dot the London landscape lending it an old world charm that remains unparalleled.
