London is ranked one of the world's top destinations with landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Tower of London. It is a mass of contradictions. On one hand, it's a royal city, studded with palaces, court gardens, coats of arms, and other regal trappings; but it's also the home of the world's second-oldest parliamentary democracy. A city that loves to be explored, London summons visitors with its impressive museums, royal pageantry, and quirky historical hideaways.
