Unusual sights of London
Monument to Hodge: it was erected in honor of the cat who loved to sit next to its owner, Samuel Johnson, when he was working on the creation of a dictionary of the English language (Johnson spoiled his favorite, which was so famous that some poets dedicated poems to him, with oysters).
Rolling Bridge: The uniqueness of this 12-meter footbridge lies in the fact that when necessary (when ships pass through the canal), it not only rises, but, like a caterpillar, rolls into an octagonal shape on one of the banks.
What interesting places to visit in London?
First of all, it is recommended to take a ride on the London Eye (the Ferris wheel makes 1 revolution in half an hour), where landing is carried out on the go, in order to get the opportunity to admire the beautiful views of London and the surrounding area from a height, as well as to capture the panorama seen in the photo. According to reviews of those who have experienced this attraction, it is not necessary to sit in the booths - you can move around the booth, examining different parts of the city. Of the additional services, tourists may be interested in night skiing (the London Eye is illuminated) or wine and chocolate tasting while skiing.
Walking around London, be sure to pay attention to St. Paul's Cathedral. It is famous for its dome, sculptures, mosaics, "whisper" (a whispered word will be heard in any part of this gallery) and gallery, from where an amazing panorama of London opens.
