It's estimated that more than five million visitors from around the world saw the WW1 commemorative poppy installation at the Tower.

1. Tower of London

2. London Eye

3. Windsor Castle

4. SEA LIFE London Aquarium

5. Tower Bridge Exhibition

6. Madame Tussauds

7. HMS Belfast

8. Hampton Court Palace

9. Kew Gardens

10. Buckingham Palace State Rooms




Go Holiday editor David Kernek comments: As a Londoner, albeit one who hasn’t lived there for many, many decades, I’m surprised to see Windsor Castle in a list of the capital’s major attractions. It’s a small Berkshire town to the west of London, isn’t it?
