I'm going to London tomorrow?

Question

Apart from the obvious places like Big Ben, London Eye, Piccadilli etc, where is good places to take exciting photo's? Also what are the best lit up places at night. It is for my art work and am in need of ideas as to where I should go

Answer 1

Try the new bendy bridge just outside the tate modern, the london eye close to (the structures on the wheel itself), and docklands, if you can manage it, although it is a bit of a ride out from the centre - lots of space age monorails around canary wharf.

Answer 2

Try Waterloo Bridge, from there you can see everything from Canary Warf to Westminster: the Tate Modern, St. Paul's Cathedral, London Eye, Big Ben, etc... :o)

Answer 3

I was just in London!! Go down Carnaby street-( think that is right) it is where the Beatles used to shop- there are some cool photo ops in there... Also- That bridge by the Tate is really cool- there are some great photo ops down along the Tate too- all of the street performers and graffiti(is really bright, colorful artwork). You can always catch something going on at Trafalgar Square that is exciting!! Also the older part of London is really cool- down by Covent gardens. Hyde Park on Sundays are cool- everything is photo- worthy in London! you will love it! Also- PUBS---- the pubs are fantastic place to photograph the people. safe travels

Answer 4

St Pauls Cathedral at the top gives you a fantastic veiw of the city and further . inside is also spectacular . Tower bridge south side looking north tha whole city can be seen in a multitude of lights and scenery , av a look and tell me im wrong

Answer 5

For landscape try the views from alexandra palace or greenwich observatory. If its a bit more modern your after try brick lane at night, the square at canary wharf, the battersea power station.

If its london life then you can't get better than camden market.

Answer 6

Don´t forget to visit the British Museum! It is very enjoyable. There you ´ll get to see a lot of object from Egypt and Greek (Parthenon´s frontis). It´s a must.

Answer 7

Well i live in london and maybe you should try boat ride at windser and feeding the duck there or you could stay in a hotel and do some intresting research so hang in there their must be somthing you could find.

Answer 8

You could always take a boat trip down to greenwich along the Thames

Answer 9

4 in good weather and 4 in bad weather!
There has never been a better time to think about visiting London. If you hunt around there are several cheap flights and accommodation available, making travelling to the UK an attractive prospect. But if you are travelling to the UK during the winter, then be prepared for cold weather and rain. London has so much to do and I have listed below eight places to visit. There are, of course, tons more!

GOOD WEATHER ATTRACTIONS:

Hyde Park
Hyde Park lies between the Bayswater Road in the north and Knightsbridge in the south. Park Lane lies to the east and Kensington Gardens to the west. The north east corner of the Park, which is at the end of Oxford Street contains Marble Arch, which was built as a gateway to Buckingham Palace in 1827, but was moved to its present position in 1851.

Whitehall
Whitehall, London, runs from Trafalgar Square in the north to Westminster Square in the south. The name Whitehall comes from Whitehall Palace which was first built for Hubert de Burgh in the 13th century. It was then rebuilt for Cardinal Wolsey in the 16th century.

Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square was built in honour of Admiral Nelson after his victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. The statue to Nelson is on a column and stands 174 feet high. It was designed by Sir Edward Landseer, who also designed the four bronze lions standing at the foot of the column.

The London Eye
The London Eye is one of the newest London attractions and did have its fair share of problems launching. At the moment The Eye is open from 9.30 am to 6 pm and currently costs £8.50 for Adults, £5.00 for Children and £6.50 for Senior Citizens and Disabled visitors; these prices might increase. It's advisable to purchase your tickets in advance. The trip takes 30 minutes and rises 450 feet above the river Thames. There are 32 fully enclosed capsules.


BAD WEATHER ATTRACTIONS:

Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace is currently the residence of Her Majesty The Queen. It was originally built for John Sheffield who was the Duke of Buckingham early in the 18th century and is situated at the end of The Mall. Buckingham Palace was partly destroyed by fire in 1809 and was rebuilt and extended by George VI after he became King in 1937. The Palace was finally open to the public in the early 90’s.

Palace of Westminster
Westminster Abbey and Palace were founded by Edward the Confessor in the 11th century. It is best to obtain tickets in advance, usually seven to eight weeks, from an MP if you are resident in the UK. If not, you can join the queue outside St Stephen's Entrance. It is generally easiest to get into the House of Commons between 6.00 pm and 10.30 pm (or about 9.30 am on Wednesdays and Fridays).

Madam Tussauds/London Planetarium
It takes about 2 hours to visit Madam Tussauds and about 3 hours if you visit the London Planetarium as well. From now until the 4th of November the opening hours are 9.00am to 5.30pm and from the 5th of November to the 14th December weekdays from 10.00am to 5.30pm and weekends from 9.30am to 5.30pm. To visit both attractions the prices are Adults £14.45, Children (under 16) £10.00 and senior citizens £11.30. For Madam Tussauds only Adults cost £12.00, Children (under 16) £8.50 and senior citizens £9.50. For the London Planetarium prices are Adults £7.00, Children (under 16) £4.85 and senior citizens £5.60.

A London Theatre Show
The West End contains (in my opinion) the best theatres in the world. Whatever your taste there is sure to be a show to suit you. If you want to know what's on then visit LondonShows. Not only do they list the major shows with a show synopsis, but you can also buy tickets on-line from them. They list drama, comedy, musicals, mystery and thrillers. LondonShows.

Answer 10

I wouldn't bother if I was you. It's an ugly place with almost nothing worth photographing.
