The South East England / London region
For a bird's-eye view of London, take a spin on the famous and breathtaking London Eye, the Ferris Wheel overlooking The River Thames.
Don't miss landmarks like the Tower of London, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Globe Theatre. Spend a day at the Tate Modern or shopping along Portobello Road in Notting Hill. See the Cabinet War Rooms that housed Winston Churchill's WWII bunker and watch the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Built up a thirst? Then have a pint in a pub or visit a famous London tea room.
