    So much history. The Beefeater tour was fabulous. The Crown Jewels were jaw dropping and the fact that you are standing by a 1000 year old fortress is mind blowing. Loved it all.

    Love the National Gallery, spent time in the main restaurant then looked at all the key exhibits. Mainly the rennaisance artists. Always a great visit and well worth a visit. Staff are very friendly and helpful too.

    The Tower Bridge tour gives an inside view to the history and construction of the Tower Bridge. the views from the sky bridge, including the glass floor, are stunning.

    Decided to try and look round not just the main exhibitions but places I hadn't explored, discovering an incredible pottery display in a circular formation and got a proper exploration of the Cast Courts which I had only seen very briefly, as well as the Asia, African and Middle-Eastern sections with the exception of China which I think was going through refurbishment at that point. The revamp of the Japanese section I think is not as interesting as the previous layout, and I really loved the video of the dyeing process for the kimonos, it was really beautiful even without a voiceover and just subtitles. Still overall a really wonderful time and there is definitely something for everyone if you know where to look!

    Interesting visit, and museum within museum, but thought you would be able to visit more of the tunnels / working areas. Took just under 2 hours.

    This is a must when you visit London. There is so much history to see. I was a little overwhelmed because of all the information so we took a break of 30 min after our first 2 hours in the church and then we resume the visit. The audio guide is all you need. Is very detailed. Videos are not allowed suiting your visit at least when we went. Pictures yes.
    If you get overwhelmed there is a nice area where the bathrooms are that you can take a little break and then continue.
    In general this was absolutely beautiful! I am planning of taking my kids to this amazing place next year. I strongly believe that everyone that visit London must visit this amazing place. I highly recommend this historic place.
