You can visit a place considered very unusual for a European city, that is, the temple of Shri Swaminarayan Mandir. The sacred place amazes with its splendor thanks to its size. This is not a historic temple. It was built only in 1995, but, despite this, it remains very impressive. For those who are addicted to “spy things”, a visit to the MI6 Building awaits them. Of course it will not be possible to get inside, but it is quite possible to look at the building where the fate of mankind was sometimes determined (and is still being determined). All that happened at 85 Albert Embankment.
London’s highest building is called The Shard or the Shard of Glass. It is definitely worth looking at by every tourist. Its futuristic image perfectly fits into London in spite of the abundance of historic buildings around the attraction and the protests of many people. Buckingham Palace, another permanent symbol of Byron’s and Mary Shelley’s hometown, is definitely worth a quick glance. It is especially interesting to look at the Changing of the Guard. Of the other palaces, one should pay a visit to Kensington Palace. This is another residence of the kings and queens, in which the most popular British ruler, Victoria, was born. Take an interest in St. James’s Palace as well, because it was built in the place of a lepers’ hospital by order of Henry VIII.
