With Big Ben and Westminster Palace on one side and the London Eye on the other side of the river, it's the best spot for the ultimate picture of the English capital. Among the lesser-known highlights of London is the British Library, where you may see a scribbled page of Beatles songwriting or a Leonardo da Vinci notebook. There are some stunning illuminated scripts and landmark-scientific items too. If you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, head to Hyde Park or Kensington Gardens.
