The portal to London's buzzy West End, Piccadilly Circus lives up to its name.

Whether it's businessmen and women on their way to work in the morning, shoppers en route to the department store-clad Oxford Street (just a few streets north) or lively club and bar hoppers passing through at night, Picadilly is always buzzing with activity.Recent travelers highly recommend a visit to Piccadilly Circus for its proximity to restaurants, shops and nightlife spots and the energy and excitement it exudes. For the best ambience, some suggest you visit Piccadilly at night, when the neon lights of the billboards reflect off the Edwardian-era buildings and the Eros statue. A quick disclaimer – Piccadilly Circus is not an actual circus, as some travelers have expected; rather, the name refers to the circle (circus), off which a handful of major roads spoke.

The quality is some of the best in the UK, and the constant mix of new and classic productions with local and world-renowned (think Andrew Lloyd Weber, Benedict Cumberbatch) talent excites both visitors and locals alike. Even if you don't consider yourself much of a theater devotee, recent travelers said the atmosphere, specifically near the lively Leicester Square, where many of the theaters are concentrated, is worth a late night wander.To find ticket deals, head to the official discount booth (TKTS) in Leicester Square.

Along with Parliament and Big Ben, Tower Bridge is London's next must-see architectural marvel, not to mention the most famous bridge that crosses the Thames. Built a mere 120 years ago, the bridge not only stands out for its stunning detail but moveable roadways that lift up when large ships need to pass through. The views from the bridge are an added bonus. From the elevated sidewalks visitors get a prime view of the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral's iconic dome and one of the newest additions to London's skyline, The Shard.If you're interested in viewing the city from a higher vantage point (about 137 feet), consider a tour of the Tower Bridge Exhibition. This exhibit will take you to the top of the bridge, equipped with a glass floor, as well as to the bottom to the bridge's engine rooms. Adults pay 9.80 pounds (about $12.95), youths ages 5 to 15 pay 3.80 pounds (about $5.60), while children younger than 5 get in for free. Check the website for opening times. Keep in mind, most recent travelers recommend only doing this if you have time to kill or are extremely interested; a walk across the bridge is free and nearly as impressive. Hop off the Tube at Tower Hill to stroll across the Tower Bridge.

11.泰特美术馆
关键信息：开放时间是周日至周四上午10点至下午6点，周五至周六上午10点至晚上8点。免费， 特别展览费用额外。
Located on the South Bank along the Thames, the Tate Modern is a part of a group of four museums (all named Tate) that house the 70,000 artworks that comprise the national collection of British art. As its name suggest, this Tate holds the more contemporary-style pieces than its three other counterparts, making it more of a hit or miss among travelers. Dalí and Picasso, among many British artists, are represented inside this repurposed power plant – but you'll find the works are scattered. Art is grouped by theme rather than by artist.Recent visitors say if you're a fan of modern art, you'll enjoy the Tate Modern. If you're partial to antiquities or the more traditional works of art, you'll probably be better served at the British Museum or the National Gallery. Art aside, the eateries located within the museum may be enough of a reason for travelers to visit. Both the level 1 Cafe and level 6 Restaurant at Tate Modern afford stunning views of St. Paul's Cathedral, which is situated on the other side of the river.
Whether you're visiting for the art, architecture or vistas, the Tate Modern is open Sunday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The museum welcomes visitors free of charge (not including special exhibits), and is accessible off the Blackfriars and Southwark Tube stops.
泰特现代美术馆坐落在泰晤士河畔的南岸，是由四家博物馆组成的一组博物馆(全部命名为泰特美术馆)，收藏了7万件由英国艺术收藏品组成的艺术品。正如它的名字所暗示的那样，这个泰特拥有比其他三个同类更现代风格的作品，使它在旅行者中更受欢迎。达利和毕加索是众多英国艺术家中的一员，他们在这个被改造过的发电厂里有代表，但你会发现作品是分散的。艺术是按主题而不是艺术家来分类的。最近的游客说，如果你是现代艺术的爱好者，你会喜欢泰特现代美术馆。如果你偏爱古物或更传统的艺术作品，你可能会在大英博物馆或国家美术馆得到更好的服务。撇开艺术不谈，博物馆内的餐馆也许足够让游客参观。泰特现代美术馆的一级咖啡厅和6级餐厅都能欣赏到位于河对岸的圣保罗大教堂的美景。无论你是去参观艺术、建筑还是风景，泰特现代美术馆都是在周日从上午10点到下午6点开放。，周五和周六上午10点至晚上8点。博物馆欢迎参观者免费参观(不包括特别展览)，并可从黑修院和Southwark地铁站进行访问。

关键信息：成人18磅(约合23.75美元， 6-17岁的儿童，8磅(约合10.60美元)。星期一至星期六上午8:30至下午4:30。
Besides Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's Cathedral is arguably the second must-see church in London. With its imposing dome, one of the largest in the world, St. Paul's forms a predominant spot along London's skyline. It's also a survivor: Although an older incarnation burnt during the Great Fire of London, Sir Christopher Wren's dome (completed in 1711) survived numerous World War II bombings.Though some reviewers are put off by the pricey admission, most recent travelers agree that a peek inside is well worth the extra coin. To make the most of your visit, reviewers highly recommend climbing to the top of the dome to the Golden Gallery. You'll have to hike up 528 steps, but after catching your breath you'll enjoy far-reaching views of the River Thames, the Tate Modern, and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. And once you've seen the top, head below ground to the Crypt (the largest in Europe), which now houses a restaurant and cafe.
Similar to Westminster Abbey, you can bypass a fairly steep entry fee by attending a service. Various types of services take place throughout the week daily; check the website for hours. Sightseers can tour the cathedral Monday through Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., although tickets are last issued at 4 p.m. Adult tickets cost 18 pounds (about $23.75), students and seniors pay 16 pounds (about $23), while children (ages 6 to 17) pay 8 pounds (approximately $10.60). If you book online, however, you save 2 pounds and gain fast-track entry. The cost of admission grants visitors entry to the cathedral floor, crypt, and the three galleries in the dome. You can find the cathedral off the St. Paul's Tube stop.
除了威斯敏斯特大教堂，圣保罗大教堂也可以说是伦敦第二座必看的教堂。圣保罗大教堂是世界上最大的球场之一，是伦敦天际线的主要场所。这也是一个幸存者：尽管在伦敦大火期间，一个更老的化身被烧毁，克里斯托弗·雷恩爵士的穹顶(1711年建成)在多次二战爆炸中幸存下来。尽管一些评论家被这种高价收入推翻了，但是最近的旅行者都认为，偷看里面的东西是非常值得的。为了充分利用您的参观，评论家强烈建议您爬到圆顶的金阁。你将不得不徒步528步，但吸了一口气后，你会享受到泰晤士河，泰特现代美术馆和莎士比亚环球剧院的远景。一旦你看到了顶部，地下到Crypt(欧洲最大的)，现在有一个餐厅和咖啡厅。与威斯敏斯特大教堂类似，您可以通过参加服务绕过相当高的入场费。每天都有各种类型的服务。检查网站的小时。虽然门票最后在下午4点发放，但是观光者可以周一至周六从上午8:30到下午4:30参观大教堂。成人票价18英镑(约23.75美元)，学生和老年人支付16英镑(约23美元) (6至17岁)支付8磅(约10.60美元)。但是，如果你在网上预订，你可以节省2磅，并获得快速通道。入场费用使参观者进入大教堂的地板，地下室和圆顶的三个画廊。您可以在圣保罗地铁站下车找到大教堂。
13.英国国会大厦
关键信息：价格因旅游而异，开放时间因季节而异。
The Houses of Parliament, composed of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, fill the massive Palace of Westminster. Guided and self-guided tours come highly recommended by recent travelers, taking visitors through multiple areas of the building, including Westminster Hall (the oldest building on the Parliamentary estate), the House of Commons Chamber and the Royal Gallery, to name a few. If you're not interested in perusing the halls that make up the UK's governing body, many travelers say that simply admiring the iconic structure's impressive exterior is enough, and an absolute must-do for anyone visiting London.If you're one of many looking to snap your own photo of one of the most photographed buildings in the world, the best vantage point is from Westminster Bridge. But if you want a truly smashing shot, head on over to Lambeth Bridge or the Golden Jubilee Bridges on the South Bank for a view of Parliament and the London Eye together. Keep in mind that Westminster Bridge connects the city's two biggest attractions (London Eye to Parliament) together, and as a result is almost always very crowded. It's also important to know that merchants and (rather shady) gamblers set up along the bridge, so keep your personal belongings close and walk along the left side, as a higher number tend to concentrate on the right.
Guided, self-guided and tours that include afternoon tea are all available Saturdays year-round as well as most weekdays during Parliamentary recess. Self-guided tours take about 60 to 75 minutes and are 18 pounds (about $26) for adults and free for one child ages 5 to 15 years with a paying adult, then 7.20 pounds (about $10.50) for each additional child. Guided tours cost 25 pounds for adults and 10 pounds for children ages 5 to 15 years. All children under 5 are free. Be sure to check out Parliament's website for up-to-date information on tour dates and hours, as they are subject to change. To get to Houses of Parliament, hop off at the Westminster Tube station.
