A Hop on Hop off London Tour – the Tourist’s Mecca

You may be wondering what makes a hop on hop off tour of London so very special and unique over other tour experiences.

 

London, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/22/2012 -- Such a tour does give you immense freedom to uncover the very finest aspects of London in a relaxed and unfrenzied way, and this is why so many prize the experience. London can be an immensely busy capital; in fact, it can become overwhelming to many. Yet a hop on hop off London tour makes for an intensely memorable, notable experience that you are sure to treasure for years to come.

London’s attractions can certainly be explored in detail, yet at your own convenience, on a hop on hop off bus tour. A hop on hop off tour will most probably include stops near to the V&A, Science and Natural History museums and other entrancing cultural landmarks such as distinguished Shakespeare’s Globe, extravagant and historically potent Westminster Abbey, and, of course, intensely glorious, regal Buckingham Palace, arguably the most celebrated of all attractions in London.

The Tower of London Tour is a truly awe-inspiring landmark. Were you aware that, over the course of 1,000 years, the Tower has constantly changed in its purpose? It has been, at diverse points in its past, a prison, Royal Palace, a mint, and, possibly most strangely, a zoo.

The Tower has also been home to some appalling, brutal and altogether deeply controversial historical events.

Also visit Windsor tour, just on the outskirts of London, for a tranquil time you will not soon forget. Windsor Castle is an attraction that holds exquisite architectural charm as well as a tremendously intriguing regal past. As such, it is well worth exploring.

Perhaps hop off and explore some buzzing bars and pubs in the highly acclaimed Soho area. Soho is a thriving region of London with an exhilarating history. Especial hidden treasures worth discovering include The Royal George, a vivacious pub ornamented with fairy lights and relatively hidden away down an alley just by Tottenham Court Road Station, and The Crobar, a very small heavy-metal style bar. Soho is also prominent as a creative and sophisticated hub of London, from where many great intellectual figures have lived and been influenced by, and continue to do so.

Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House, the most celebrated doll’s house on the planet, is perhaps one of the most enticing highlights of Windsor Castle.

It was built with such strict diligence and exactitude that even its lavatories flush and it has running hot and cold water.

St George’s Chapel is a ‘Royal Peculiar’ and holds its own peculiar atmosphere. It functions as the place of entombment for a total of ten eminent monarchs, including the legendary Queen Jane Seymour, Henry VIII, and Charles I. It also holds repute as the sanctified home of the Order of the Garter.

Explore the UK’s majestic capital on a hop on hop off London tour, and you will not fail to be left enamoured.
