London, location of the 2012 Olympics, is a city of many ages with many stories to tell. There are hundreds of sights to see and attractions to visit from the old (Westminster Abbey, founded 1000 years ago) to the new (London Eye built in 2000). Many of the most famous sights and museums are free to the visitor. There are several key ways of looking at the city of London, as highlighted below, and many of the sights mentioned here are found on the interactive tour. The River Thames passes many major landmarks as it meanders through London. The most famous bridges across the Thames include Tower Bridge (often confused with London Bridge) and the Millenium Bridge linking St. Paul´s Cathedral to the Tate Modern. Ferry and river cruise services use the river transporting both business people and visitors alike. Westminster Pier, just over the road from Big Ben, is one of the main departure points for tour cruise. Just opposite this departure point are the London Eye and the London Aquarium. Next door is the Dalí Universe in the County Hall Gallery and some of his sculptures can be found on the South Bank. People travelling downriver will pass places like St.Paus Cathedral, under the Millenium Bridge and past the Tate Modern. Just before reaching Tower Bridge boats will pass the HMS Belfast and City Hall. Cruises will then continue on to Greenwich. Travelling in the opposite direction under Westminster Bridge one gets a great view of the Palace of Westminster and then continues past Battersea Park and on to Richmond. The Royal Parks and other squares also play a vital role in city life. The large parks often play host to concerts and events. Every year the Proms in the Park concert is held in Hyde Park for the Last Night of the Proms, the last of a series of classical concerts held in the Royal Albert Hall during the summer. Hyde park is also thelocation for music festivals and concerts like the Live8 Concert in July 2005 to raise the awareness of poverty in the world. It is possible to walk from Kensington Palace in Knightsbridge past to Downing Street only leaving the parks to cross the roads joining them. This walk would start at the west end of Hyde park, taking you past the Albert Memorial and Royal Albert Hall and then on to . Here one crosses over to Green Park and continues the walk down to Buckingham Palace. At Buckingham Palace you enter St. James' Park and continue past the ponds to finally end up at Horse Guards Parade, Downing Street and Parliament Square. At the North end of St. James Park traffic passes under Admiralty Arch to enter Trafalgar Square, which as been increasingly pedestrianised in the past years. The last great park in Central London is Regents Park which is also the location of London Zoo. Regents Park contains many sporting facilities and cricket pitches. It also has beautiful landscaped gardens, such as the Rose Gardens. In the Rose Gardens is the Open Air Theatre, where many plays are performed during the summer months. A fantastic way of getting seeing the layout of London is from some of the hills andtowers. Several vantage points have been photographed for this tour. In the City of London is Monument, built to commemorate the Great Fire of London in 1666. The top of this 61 meter tall tower is reached by a spiral staircase up the inside of the column. From here it is possible to see the City of London, with the 'Gherkin' Swiss Re building, and then swing round to see Tower Bridge and the striking rounded glass building which is London City Hall. Moving over to the West, another vantage point is fromthe top of the 83 meter tower of Westminster Cathedral . From here one gets a clear view of the area around Victoria, and far away in the North the arches of the new Wembley Stadium peek above the skyline. Finally, to the North of Central London an incredible view of the City is seen from the top of Primrose Hill. From here it is possible to make out many important landmarks including Canary Warf Tower well off to theEast, the dome of St. Paul´s Cathedral, BT tower and the London Eye.
