Where to Go in City of London, london: Top 13 Attractions & Local Favorites

Andrew Hubbard A hidden gem in the heart of London! St Dunstan in the East is a stunning blend of history and nature – the ruins are beautifully preserved, and the gardens growing amidst the stonework create a truly magical atmosphere. Perfect for a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle. A must-visit for anyone who loves history, architecture, or simply a tranquil spot to wander and take photos.

Victoria Fossattxx A truly beautiful and memorable experience. The Sky Garden offers stunning views and is a great place to relax and enjoy London from above. The view is absolutely worth it, and there are seating areas where you can rest and take your time, which makes the visit very enjoyable. I highly recommend booking your ticket well in advance, at least one month ahead, as availability is very limited and tickets sell out quickly. Even with a ticket, the waiting time to enter was about 10–20 minutes, which was very reasonable. Security is well organized and efficient. Before entering, you go through a security check and scanner before taking the elevator up to the Sky Garden level. Everything felt safe and well managed. The staff were friendly, helpful, and professional, providing good service throughout the visit. Inside, there are places where you can buy food and drinks, and the prices are not expensive considering the location and the views. Overall, it’s a free experience, very well organized, and something I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting London. A beautiful place to enjoy great views in a calm and pleasant environment.

sam sunny I have experienced the cheery blossoms for the first time in my life was fully mesmerised by seeing them love the whole buildings and the vibes there.

Mike Day Now open again for strollers to enjoy the sunshine and views across to the South Bank and Tower Bridge. Snack shops remain closed but taking a picnic is still allowed. There is a coffee shop at the Tower Hotel via the underpass.

Steve P Its Londons smallest statue, and has a sad story behind it, but its worth a look, and its 2 mins from the Monument tower

Mickayla Stogsdill Worth the stroll around the castle and tower - lots of historical areas near the Tube entrance, including parts of the original tower (that they explored when building the Underground stop).

Mr. Jasper Nice walking area with great river views!

B Alv Very neat history and location all together! You can see the exterior of the gate after closing hours.

Alice Catarama In my neighbourhood, an oasis of light. Great place for meditation of meaning of life.

Noura Elshebbah Leadenhall Market is one of London’s oldest and most beautiful markets, dating back to the 14th century. It is famous for its stunning Victorian architecture, colorful painted roofs and elegant shops. The market has a lively atmosphere and is a popular spot for both shopping and sightseeing. During our visit, they had artificial snow running, which created a magical and beautiful moment. It made the experience even more special and enjoyable.

Paul S For sure one of the most unique pieces of street art in London. Hidden, off the beaten track and unbelievable. The short lane remembers the biggest events in Londons 2000 year old history, with street names such as Gropeconte Lane, Filth Lane, Dirty Hill or Love Lane, events such as the Great Stink, the Black Death or organisations like the Knights Templar and even the London Underground and churches and their associated patron saint. Complimenting it is a high definition close up photograph of the Moons lunar surface reminding us that it is the only thing which links us all together. You could spend a few hours just researching the events, the people and the places or walk down it for just the experience of knowing youve walked through Londons 2000 year old history in 30 seconds.

Diana Ogilvy Really enjoyed our time here. We did a self-guided visit and booked tickets online beforehand, which I would definitely recommend. There were queues but everything was well organised and we got in quickly. Set aside about three hours if you want to see everything properly. What makes it special is how the atmosphere changes as you walk through different sections representing various periods of history. It really brings the place to life. We arrived early on a Sunday morning and it was already fairly busy. It only gets more crowded as the day goes on, so an early start is worth it. Staff were friendly and happy to help whenever we had questions. A fantastic attraction that works for solo travellers, couples and families alike. Highly recommended.
