Lately, I’ve had the travel bug, and since I’m moving to Australia in less than a month, I’ve been thinking about all the other destinations in the world that I want to visit. London, England has always fascinated me with its long history of kings, queens, and iconic landmarks. It’s a place that seems to transport you back in time to the Medieval world. As a huge history buff, England is top of my bucket for countries to visit.

Whenever I think of visiting, my mind immediately races to four iconic spots that connect to the English royal history: The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and lastly Baker Street to appease the reader inside me.

The Tower of London is one of the most iconic landmarks in the United Kingdom and has a rich and complex history that spans nearly a thousand years. Located on the north bank of the River Thames, this historic fortress has served various roles, from a royal palace and military stronghold to a prison, execution site, and even a menagerie. The Tower of London is not just a single building but a complex of structures, each with its own story to tell.
