Big Ben, royalty, double-deckers, red telephone cabins and a good cup of tea – these are most likely the things everyone thinks of when it comes to London. And yet, the heart of England does deserve more attention than that. There are a lot of other attractions worth visiting and if you are planning a trip to London you should definitely check out with the following ones:

The Science Museum
This is the Promised Land for anyone who is in love with science. Founded in the 19th century, the Science Museum in London attracts more than 2.7 million tourists every single year – and not without any reason. What can you see here? The oldest steam locomotive, documentation on the first typewriter, the first jet engine and another 300,000 items that are no less precious for every “geek” out there – all these things are well preserved in this museum, so it is definitely worth paying a visit.

The London Dungeon
Alright, dungeons may not be people’s favourite touristic attractions, but this one will definitely get to your own personal top things you have seen during your travels. The place gives life to macabre events in the well-known gallows humour style by bringing together actors, special effects and rides. This was initially a museum of macabre history but nowadays it is a completely interactive experience – which is precisely what makes it so special and so much worth visiting.
The National Portrait Gallery
Of course, nobody says you should miss out on the British Museum, but for a different approach on art and history that blend in together, the National Portrait Gallery should definitely get on your top must-see locations in London. The gallery displays an impressive collection of portraits made after famous people and it will certainly win the heart of any history enthusiast out there.
London is huge and with such a huge diversity there will always be something to do and/or see there. It is literally impossible to get bored in such a marvellous city and it does not even matter what type of tourist you are because there will be something for everyone: from geeks to landscape photographers and from history bookworms to sensitive art aficionados.
Before you leave for London, make sure that your stay there will be as comfortable as possible and that you will feel (almost) like royalty from the moment you set foot on the airport. Since London is a place where you can easily get lost, it would be a great idea to book a car service to pick you up from the airport. And if you want to feel truly special during your trip, you may want to hire a luxury car service. Blacklane Limousines can be a very good choice, for example. They are extremely well organized, you will have absolutely no surprises with them, they will be there on time and they will make your trip cosy and friendly as well. And even more than that, hiring a luxury car will not even cost as much as you imagine!
