St Katharine's & Wapping, London EC3N 4AB London United Kingdom

Description: Let's be honest - a tour of London's most historic buildings wouldn't be complete without a trip to the iconic Tower of London. Situated on the north bank of the River Thames in Central London, the tower dates way back to 1066 and the Norman Conquest, and has held some truly prominent prisoners in its vast and rich history. In some rooms, tourists can even see some of the grafitti and markings made by the prisoners, centuries ago. Although the queue may be long, seeing the impressive Crown Jewels is definitely worth the wait. The Tower of London provides a fantastic day out for all the family.

Tower Bridge Rd, London SE1 2UP London United Kingdom

Description: Situated just outside the Tower of London, the infamous Tower Bridge was opened to the public back in 1894. Not only does the bridge provide the perfect backdrop for photographs, but since the 1980s the public have also been able to walk above the bridge on a glass floor walkway, which provides stunning views of the city. The bridge also has an exhibition, which is fun for all the family.
