Westminster Abbey

205***29

🏰 Westminster Abbey, it&#39;s really shocking! 📍 It&#39;s located in central London, close to the Parliament Building and Big Ben. The church is a prominent representation of British Gothic architecture, towering spires, exquisite carvings and beautifully painted glass windows, each detail shows an unparalleled artistic charm. Walking into the church, as if through time and space, is the holy place of the crowning of the British royal family, witnessing countless important moments in history. It is also a resting place for many celebrities, and great figures such as Newton, Darwin, Dickens have slept here, making people respect their contributions. Walking around, you can feel the solemnity of religion and the deep historical and cultural heritage. The church&#39;s Henry VII chapel is exquisite, with a fan-shaped arched roof and densely carved decorations, like a fairy tale fairyland. Whether it is an architecture lover or a historical and cultural fan, Westminster Abbey is definitely worth a visit. I believe you will be deeply impressed by its charm like me. 💕 highly recommend it to everyone! 💕

Buckingham Palace

Historic buildings

The Buckingham Palace changing ceremony is an iconic royal cultural event in London, and it is necessary to occupy a vantage point in advance. At the point, the guards wore red uniforms and bearskin hats, and entered the audience in the military band &quot;God Save the King&quot;. The new and old guards carried out the post transition, which was very shocking. A large number of tourists gathered outside the iron gates and scrambled to witness the changing of the guards of the Royal Guard.

Night view

The London Eye is one of the famous landmarks of London. Visitors can take the London Eye to the air and have a bird&#39;s eye view of London. The London Eye turns into a huge blue aura at night, adding to the dreamy temperament of the Thames. When the Thames reflects the blue aura, the London Eye is not only a viewing wheel. It is a revolving London Spirit Monument.

Windsor Castle

Anonymous user

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
