    Palaces, art galleries, museums, street markets, parks, national monuments... London has it all!

    London is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, and for a good reason. There is a huge amount to see and experience. Here are just a few of the highlights we think you should try to squeeze into a trip to London:

    Buckingham Palace


    A working palace that is home to the British Royal Family. The Family move to Scotland during summer and the most of the Palace is open to the public including the impressive State Rooms. Buy tickets in advance online. Watch the changing of the Guards outside the Palace everyday at 11:30am.

    Iconic buildings in Whitehall include the Palace of Westminster / Big Ben (Houses of Parliament), Westminster Abbey, HM Treasury, The Prime Minister Office at 10 Dowing Street, Horse Guards and many other state buildings. All located just a short walk from Trafalgar Square. Best photos are taken from Westminster Bridge.

    Sky Garden

     

    The Sky Garden is just across the River Thames from The Shard, at the top of a skyscraper known locally as the "Walkie Talkie" (due to its distinctive shape). Free entrance, but book online before visiting.

    The only full-time professional LGBT theatre company in the UK. This award-winning theatre focuses on LGBT-themed shows, including some original productions.

    The venue is relatively small, so shows are often sold out weeks in advance - performance schedules and ticket purchase are available on their website.

    The theatre has a fully stocked bar that is open one hour before/after the shows and during intervals. You can take drinks into the theatre.

    We are big fans of Above The Stag and highly recommend it as an great alternative gay night out.
