Travel Around the World | London Tower Bridge
Before embarking on an aurora-chasing trip, it's common to stop in London first, as there are no direct flights from Taiwan to Iceland. This elegant city is delightful to explore for a few days. You can visit Big Ben, try on a Burberry trench coat, see mummies at the British Museum, and shop for Jo Malone perfumes. Adding Tower Bridge and the London Eye to your itinerary can easily fill a day. 🥰
🌟 Tower Bridge is a water landmark in London. It was the largest and most advanced bascule bridge of the 19th century. Its design complements the nearby Tower of London, which was once a royal palace. The bridge features a Victorian Gothic style, giving it a grand and ancient appearance. To get there, take the subway to 'Tower Hill Station.' Here are a few ways to enjoy your visit:
✔️ Take a leisurely walk along the Thames River, like I did, to appreciate the surrounding landmarks and learn about the history and architecture of the bridge.
✔️ Enjoy a Thames River cruise for a panoramic view of all the beauty England has to offer. The river silently flows, witnessing the rise and fall of London.
✔️ Stand on the breathtaking glass walkway, 42 meters above the Thames, between the North and South Towers, and marvel at the city's beauty.
Overall, I truly love the extraordinary elegance of London. Even though I didn't visit Buckingham Palace, you can feel the British sense of superiority just walking through the alleys. 💕 However, the food is quite ordinary (and the prices are exorbitant). Fish and chips and some pies taste exactly as you would imagine. 😂

The Thames: London's Lifeline and My Tranquil Escape
The Thames, London's flowing heart, weaves tales of the city's past and present.
Its currents echo centuries of history – from royal processions to modern-day bustle. I find solace along its banks, where the urban frenzy melts into serene waters.
Walking across iconic bridges, I'm greeted by the whispers of the past. The Tower Bridge's majesty, the Millennium Bridge's modernity – they connect more than just land.
The riverside promenades offer a refuge, a place to pause and reflect.
This river isn't just London's lifeline; it's my tranquil escape in the midst of the city's constant pulse.

London - the riverside
Amazing views by the river in the capital city. Nike had an exhibition of their shoes on the Southbank which sees the landscape of the city buildings behind it. The materials used were also great as it showcased the softness. PlayStation also had an exhibition recently by the river similar to it. This river walk is great as you pass all the London bridges such as London Bridge, Tower Bridge and Chelsea bridge.

London old and new living in harmony
There are many places in the world where you can find modern buildings. Sky scrapers that have taken the place of a life long past.
In London however you can find the most modern building next to one that has been there over a hunderd years. It is not far from the London City with the Shard, Loyds, the Cheese Grater and other fancy buildings to Tower Bridge, just east or st Paul's Cathedral west and about 5 minutes further one of the few remaining original pubs The Old Chesire Cheese.
The current pub was rebuild after the great fire over 300 years ago and well worth a visit, located at Fleet Street just minutes away from.st Paul's.
I recommend you stay near Tower Bridge in the Indigo hotel and after a good breakfast cross Tower Bridge and walk and cross the Thames again just after London bridge to see St Paul's, the West end, Covent Garden, Neals Yard and Westminster with Big Ben, the Wheel and the famous guards.
This is a good walk and will take you most of the day. Bus 15 at Charing Cross will take you back to just outside the hotel where you can relax before eating in one of the many restaurants. For Chinese try My Old Place about 5 minutes away, for Thai the restaurant next to the hotel or have one of the many other cuisines available.
If you arrive at Heathrow take the new Elizabeth line, and safe at least £18, on a quick transfer.

The Thames River Cruise In London
The Thames River isn't the most romantic river to have a boat ride o due to the very murky waters but I've to say it's a boat ride especially for travellers like us.
Due to the popularity of the Thames River cruise there are several company where some will take you on a 3 hour boat ride, where some just take you a 90mins boat ride pass the several iconic monuments like tower bridge, big Ben, Tower of London, London Eye and all the important monuments where travellers should see and head back to port.
Do make sure you plan your trip ahead, a recommendation is to go for the Thames rivercruise which was also said to be the original one. Do a night cruise if you have time, the view is a totally different setting where you will see the various lights being lighted up on all these iconic monuments.

Landmarks along the River Thames
There is so much to see and do in London. It has always been said that a trip to London is never complete without a walk down the River Thames. History lives and breathes along this river, so here are 3 main landmarks along the River Thames you HAVE to see!
Firstly, I recommend going on a stroll from the Big Ben to the Tower Bridge. Otherwise you may book an online cruise/tour or purchase a ticket at one of the stands by the river.
1. Big Ben - A true icon of London and spectular in person! Come close to the turn of the hour to hear the bells ring.
2. London Eye - If you have time, get a ticket and go up for a ride (£43 with a river cruise ticket!)
3. Tower Bridge - Built in the 1890s, this bridge makes a great background for a cool instagram post. (Cover Photo)
Overall, these 3 landmarks are the must-sees of the River Thames. They are not too far apart from each other, so dedicating the afternoon to this is enough. Check out my pictures from my latest trip! ⬆️
Getting There - Many underground stations along the River Thames. I recommend starting at Westminster Station.
Attractions - Big Ben, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Tower of London
Hotels - Many upscale and budget options nearby
Food & Restaurants - Choose a cafe along the river! Amazing views.
Shopping - Tons of cool boutiques and souvenir shops along the way.

These cities have the same European style but are remembered for their unique style
London Eye Red Telephone Booth is the Thames Riverside A unique British style said that the weather in London is so bad that London is more worthy of a reward under the sunny days
the morning sweating jogging and the rushing office workers are intertwined on the riverside; the couple walking the dog in the evening on the skateboard The teenager's street snack car has been dispatched, and everyone will casually hold a steaming pizza and sit and sit on the sunset.

In the Heart of London: Stories in Every Step
Experiencing the heart of London is like stepping into a story that’s constantly unfolding. You feel the weight of history at Westminster Abbey, where kings and poets rest, and the awe in St. Paul’s Cathedral, its dome towering over centuries of change. Trafalgar Square buzzes with life, filled with laughter and strangers who feel like friends.
Along the Thames, Big Ben chimes, a steady heartbeat in a city that never slows. Evening brings the warm glow of street lamps and the hum of life in Soho’s hidden alleys. In London’s heart, every step feels like being part of something timeless.

The River Thames, also known as the River Teme, is a famous "mother" river in the UK. It originates in the southwest of England, is 346 kilometers long, and crosses more than 10 cities in the capital, London, before finally flowing into the North Sea.
Take a boat trip and enjoy the scenery along the River Thames. Busy merchant ships, beautiful yachts, and ships shuttle on the river. The beautiful scenery on the river bank is presented from time to time, which is refreshing.
