Enjoy a Vacation in England 1
An trip to England is your chance to discover the unique blend of the historic and traditional as well as the ultramodern that England has to offer. Going out of the capital of London, you can also experience quiet villages, picturesque countryside, and traditional English teas.
LONDON
The huge capital city of London is home to many world-famous landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, the home of the British Royal Family.
The ornate neo-Gothic architecture of the Houses of Parliament, and the spiritual presence surrounding Westminster Abbey, St Martin’s in the Fields, and St. Paul’s Cathedral are unforgettable.
In addition, the museums and galleries are second to none. Many of the collections specialize as well, so for example, the Army Museum near the banks of the River Thames is a must see for history buffs, just as the National Gallery is for art lovers.
And just around the corner from it is the National Portrait Gallery, not as well know, but with exquisite paintings dating back to the famous portrait of Richard III painted before his death in 1485, and ranging up to and past the famous portraits of Lady Diana, the Princess of Wales.
Just across the street is the Academy of St Martin’s in the Fields, which has a very inexpensive open air market, and the most fabulous crypt underneath, where you can do the very British brass rubbing, and have a fantastic lunch. All the proceeded go to support the homeless in the area. And more often than not, there are free concerts in the Church by the world-renowned performers there, well worth listening to.
Then there is the Tower of London, and the Soane Museum, as well as the British Museum. Any one of these attractions would take several days to go through to see everything. As a famous writer once said, if you’re tired ot London, you’re tired of life.
