How can the British capital impress experienced travelers who have already visited it in the past? Without a doubt, the prospect of making a walk on Tower Bridge or visiting museums mentioned in every tourist guide doesn’t sound amusing. If you plan to walk in the City area, reach London Bridge and find a monument located close to it. This monument was installed in the memory of the devastating fire that happened in 1666. It is possible to admire the symbolic monument not only from a distance. Only a handful of tourists and locals know that it is, actually, possible to go up the monument by using the spiral staircase inside it. The height of the monument is 61 meter, so the observation deck on its top offers fantastic views of the City and Southwark districts.
If you want to see something unusual, head to the Greenford metro station. The London Underground or The Tube is famous for its long escalators. In the 19th century, the escalators were made exclusively of wood. Naturally, later they were replaced with more modern models, but one antique escalator can be still seen in Greenford Station. Locals use the old wooden escalator every day, but for travelers, a ride on it is a true exotic entertainment.
