    Westminster Abbey is a must-see in London. It's where British monarchs have been crowned and buried, and many figures who made significant contributions to Britain, such as Newton, Darwin, and Hawking, are also buried here. This profound sense of history can only be truly felt by visiting in person.

    This is a well-deserved attraction, ideally allowing at least two hours. It's grand yet unassuming, and historical yet not outdated. Each step is incredibly difficult to take, and the scenery is breathtaking. You won't want to stop until you've seen enough. Photography is not permitted.

    The Tower Bridge has some history, but you can't walk around it for long. It's a landmark building, so you can take pictures. The bridge is not long. You have to climb some stairs to walk from the East Tower to the West Tower, but they are not very high. There is a glass path in the middle of the bridge, so you can see below.

    The second time I went, it was worth walking slowly and carefully. If you have enough physical strength, you must climb to the top. There are not many people on non-holidays, so you don’t need to make an appointment in advance. You can also buy tickets at the door. There are Chinese commentaries on the headphones, and the ticket price includes

    Arranging an opera during your trip is a good choice, after all, there are many musicals and theaters in the area, with a wide variety of options.
