| Changing
of the Guard |
There
is no greater display of pageantry in London
than the Changing of the Guard Ceremony at
Buckingham Palace. The 45-minute ceremony
takes place daily from April to July, and then
on
alternate days for the rest of the year. The
sheer pomp and circumstance of the event, along
with the spectacle of throngs of uniformed
police on horseback, make it one of the most popular
attractions in London. |
| British
Museum |
Founded
in 1753, the British Museum is the oldest
museum in the world. The museum is dedicated to world
history and culture, with some of the most
fascinating and important artifacts ever
collected. One of its prized possessions is
the Rosetta Stone, the tablet that explained
the meaning of Egyptian hieroglyphics.

| National
Gallery |
With over 2,000 works in its collection, the

emphasis on works from major artists.
Conveniently located off Trafalgar Square, the

Michelangelo, Rembrandt, Rubens, Goya, Monet
