Tower Bridge is a world-renowned landmark. Crossing the bridge itself is free, but you can purchase additional tickets to go up into the towers and enjoy panoramic views of both banks of the River Thames.

It was great; taking the elevator up felt very ceremonial. We changed elevators twice to reach the 68th-floor observation deck, and looking north from the south bank of the Thames, there was a magnificent, commanding view! The Sky Garden complex on the opposite bank looked quite charming!

The breakfast was excellent, and the service was wonderful. After the meal, Sky Garden is also a great place to enjoy the London scenery. Since Sky Garden offers free admission, I think this is the best option if you can't get tickets. I plan to recommend it to my friends.

One of the most beautiful churches I've ever visited – truly breathtaking. Unlike Westminster Abbey, the crowds here are much more manageable, which makes the experience so much more enjoyable. Booking via Klook was very hassle-free, which made the whole trip smoother. I'd highly recommend setting aside at least 2–3 hours to fully take in the church and climb the 500+ steps to the dome. Yes, it's exhausting (and not for everyone), but if you're able to do it, it's absolutely worth it. A must-do when you're here!

We bought the London Pass on Klook, made a reservation for 12 PM on the same day, and when we arrived, we just showed the staff the QR code. We didn't have to wait in line and went straight in, which was really convenient.

It's okay. There was a queue but it moves fast. A nice way to spend the afternoon in an air-conditioned environment especially during hot summers in London.
