London’s sights are indeed exciting. If you want to see London from above, go to the London Eye, if you want to see world-famous personalities, to Madame Tussauds, if you want to examine the most valuable treasures of the world closely, to the British Museum or if you want to encounter dinosaurs.

2. Legendary City View
London’s impressive silhouette always preserves its beauty, even though it is constantly changing. The Shard building was last added to this view. Along the Thames, there are many places where you can watch the legendary view of the city from the top, but during your stay, make sure to go to a point that will allow you to have a panoramic view of the city.. The Vista rooftop bar at the top of the Trafalgar Hotel offers a great view overlooking the famous Trafalgar Square and other well-known landmarks such as Big Ben and the London Eye.. Vista is also the ideal place for lunches, intimate gatherings, a drink during the day, or a glass of champagne or cocktail as the sun sets over London.
