London...
Capital of the United Kingdom. One of the largest cities in the world.
The city of London is characterized by the vitality of its young people, and millions of them work day and night to keep this giant going.
The City of London It is the seat of the Royal family, and the center of the largest public administrations in the country, with its Houses of Parliament,
Courts of Justice, Commercial and Financial Administrations.
It is the focal point of the culture and politics of the entire nation, with a history spanning two millennia.
The modern era and time has not managed to uproot the old customs and traditions of its native inhabitants.
Wide and beautiful parks, they serve for the enjoyment of healthy recreation.
The city of London looks like a huge labyrinth split in half that stretches along both banks of the River Thames.
A cosmopolitan city, with more than 300 languages ​​and dialects.
It's wonderful network of subways, red double-decker buses and its traditional black taxi are part of its identity.
Cyclists enjoy an economical and fast type of transport with enabled cycle paths throughout the city.
Marble arch
Our point of interest is this triple marble arch, with its wrought iron gates. Next to it we see a gigantic equine bust.
Marble Arch It is near Speaker Corner in Hyde Park at the west end of Oxford Street.
This arch, modeled after the Arch of Constantine in Rome, Italy, stands near Tyburn, the site of public executions until the end of the 18th century.
Animals used in warfare
Near Marble Arch, we discovered a monument to the animals that served, suffered and died in the different warlike conflicts.
The monument consists of a bronze sculpture of a Horse, a dog and two loaded mules surrounded by a stone wall carved with representations of other animals.
Hyde park
Hyde Park, has provided fresh air and water to Londoners since the 11th century, when King Edward the Confessor granted the land and fountains of Hyde Park to Westminster Abbey.
Hyde park hosted the Great Exhibition in 1851 for which a Crystal Palace was built, designed by Joseph Paxton. It was the First Exhibition that received more than 6 million visitors.
Speaker Corner
Located at the northwestern end of Hyde park, we find public speakers trying to persuade crowds, as Karl Marc, Mahatma Gandhi or Vladmir Lenin once did.
Today the famous Speakers' Corner is still a forum for public speakers, but in the past military parades, exhibitions and even the representation of the Battle of Trafalgar on the Serpentine Lake were held here.
Kensington Palace and Gardens
As we crossed Kensington we arrived at the Palace that was the Cradle of Queen Victoria and the residence of Princess Lady Diana and her children.
Nearby is a fountain in memory of Lady Diana that illustrates her relationship with royalty, and affection for common people, as she was called the princess of the people.
Albert Memorial and Victoria and Albert Museum
Prince Albert was a visionary ahead of his time, educated and skilled in different branches such as Engineering, Agriculture and Commerce, he promoted the Great Exhibition of 1851, of England as part of the Industrial Revolution.
The influence that it reached as a nation in the Victorian era is reflected in the neo-Gothic sculptures of the African, Asian, European and American continents.
The Albert and Victoria Museum has a sample, of what it exhibited more than 160 years ago, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, were the hosts of the magnificent event.
The Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall. This oval-shaped building, in the style of a Roman circus, is one of the most prestigious auditoriums in London.
The world's most famous artists have performed on its stage.
London museums
Precisely to the right of the Royal Albert Hall is the Via Exhibition, at the end of which there are 4 popular museums, which highlight Science, Geology, Natural History and Industrial Art.
In south Kensington These museums, which apart from being tourist attractions, fulfill a research role.
An example of this is the Museum of London, which rediscovers its history through archeology on its own terrain.
Although many of London's museums are free to enter, there are special paid exhibitions, audio-guided tours in different languages.
What was life like in Britain during World War II?
You can experience the sounds, sights and even smells of a street turned into a trench during a bombing raid at the Imperial War Museum.
