The Tower of London

　　It is impossible not to be drawn in by the history of the Tower of London.See the spot where Anne Boleyn was beheaded，the infamous White Tower where Richard Ⅲ imprisoned his young nephews，and，of course，the Crown Jewels，still proudly in place despite the best efforts of Colonel Blood in 1671.

　　Tower Bridge

　　Often confused with London Bridge—probably because it looks so much more impressive—Tower Bridge is one of the most ingenious examples of Victorian engineering.The lifting bridge was designed in 1884 to allow large ships to pass_unobstructed along the Thames.It is still raised and lowered two or three times a day.The bridge also houses an excellent exhibition about the history of the bridge and offers fantastic views of the city from its high－level walkways.

　　The Royal Observatory

　　Part of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich，the Royal Observatory is home to the National Meridian Line.This line officially separates East from West at Longitude 0°and is known as the “Prime Meridian”．It also represents the official centre of world time—Greenwich Mean Time.By placing your feet on either side of the line，you can stand in both the eastern and western hemispheres simultaneously(同时地)．

　　Buckingham Palace

　　If you have never been to London before，a visit to Her Majesty's place of residence is a must.Of the Palace's 775 rooms，only the 19 State Rooms—used by the Queen and her guests for official and state entertaining—are open to the public，between August and September each year.These are well worth seeing as they contain some of the greatest treasures from the Royal Collection，including paintings by Rembrandt，Rubens and Canaletto，sculpture by Canova and priceless pieces of porcelain(瓷) and furniture.
