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!

We were delighted to visit the Tower of London on such a beautiful day! The stunning architecture, combined with the pleasant weather and scenery, made our visit very enjoyable.

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!

This was my first time visiting London, England for six days, and afterward, I'll be heading to Iceland for a 13-day self-drive trip. On the first day, I joined a tour led by Jia Hui to Cambridge University and the Greenwich Observatory. I finally got to see Xu Zhimo's memorial stone, but unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate, and it poured rain during the boat ride, leaving me soaked even with an umbrella. I also saw Newton's apple tree. The lovely Jia Hui thoughtfully prepared fresh apples for each tourist for our photos. Throughout the day, in addition to detailed explanations, she also took care of everyone's feelings and needs. Thank you, Jia Hui!

Easy to reserve on the app and was able to save some money. However, recommend to reserve your slots earlier as one of the attractions (Westminster Abbey) we wanted to book ran out of slots 2 days before so we had to book another attraction.

Great experience with many things to see. Recommend to join the Yeoman Warder Tour. I also enjoyed the Crown Jewels Exhibition. One of the best paid tourist attractions in London if you're into history.
