Regent's Canal at Camden Market

Highlight • Historical Site

Visiting Regent's Canal is like entering a hidden world. From the colourful collection of narrowboats in Little Venice, it continues through Regent's Park, where it is overlooked by the enormous aviary of London Zoo. In Camden Town, it passes the craft stalls and quirky clothing shops of the famous market, a centre of London's alternative culture.

Victoria Memorial at Buckingham Palace

Highlight • Historical Site

Impressive memorial in the roundabout in front of Buckingham Palace and probably one of the most visible objects on television broadcasts, hardly any other place has seen so much joy and drama - from the crowds at Victory Day at the end of the Second World War to the thousands of mourners after the death of Princess Diana .

Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben)

Highlight • Monument

Big Ben, or to give it its proper name, the Elizabeth Tower, is probably the most famous and iconic clock in the world, along with being the most photographed. It is also one of the most prominent cultural and parliamentary symbols of the United Kingdom. Completed in 1859, during Queen Victoria’s reign, it is 96 metres high. It’s said that its Big Ben nickname was derived from Sir Benjamin Hall, an elected Member of Parliament of the time; he was otherwise known as ‘Big Ben’.

Leadenhall Market

Highlight • Historical Site

Leadenhall Market dates back to the 14th century and is situated in what was the centre of Roman London. Originally a meat, poultry and game market, it is now home to a number of boutique retailers, restaurants, cafes, wine bars and an award-winning pub.

Starting as the site of a manor, Leadenhall has survived changes in use, rebuilding, and even the Great Fire to become a popular destination for city residents, visitors and workers.

Extensively restored in 1991, Leadenhall Market offers a spectacular Victorian setting with the roof, cobbles and buildings preserved. By the mid-20th century the shops are also being used for general retailing and leisure and by the end of the century Leadenhall Market has evolved into one of the City’s five principal shopping centres.
