Embark on a guided walking tour through Bankside, one of London's most vibrant urban districts, exploring the juxtaposition of freedom and chaos, architecture, and societal reform. Unfettered by the constraints of neighboring City and Westminster, Bankside forged its own path, evolving into a unique enclave at the southern gateway to the old city. Initially emerging as Tudor outliers, Southwark, St George, and The Borough transitioned into bustling hubs of Victorian industry, characterized by a labyrinth of haphazard factories, railways, tenements, and warehouses.

Despite enduring years of neglect, Bankside is experiencing a revival, with modern landmarks blending with historic remnants. The London Ambler, renowned for insightful urban explorations, leads this immersive journey. Traverse the diverse streets and spaces of Bankside, witnessing the interplay of architectural innovation and historical upheaval. Gain a deeper understanding of this dynamic district's evolution and significance in London's tapestry of urban development. Don't miss this unique opportunity to unravel the layers of Bankside's past and present on the "URBAN STEW - Architecture & Upheaval Through Bankside" walking tour.

Highly recommend the British Museum for at least one day tour. We arranged a tour of the British Museum on the last day of the 10-day UK tour. Found that we arranged three hours too little. Fortunately, we have participated in the teacher&#39;s explanation group, through the teacher&#39;s wonderful explanation, we know a lot of the history and origin of the previously blurred cultural relics. Let us have a vivid human history lesson at the British Museum. Seeing the long-awaited kiln, Tang Sancai, saw the exquisite memory of Chinese historical relics. Teacher Bilan also uploaded a few photos of the kiln after the team ended, so I kept a precious memory and beautiful photo in regret.

Westminster Abbey is actually a collection of churches and cemeteries (royal and some celebrities). The building is magnificent and the interior is well maintained. It is worth seeing. The ticket purchased on Trip.com is convenient to use. Just scan the QR code at the entrance of the church to enter. There are too many people. Queues for an hour to enter. The church provides free Chinese voice interpreters.

Buckingham Palace is a must-visit for history lovers, featuring stunning architecture and beautiful gardens. The official residence of the British monarch, it dates back to 1703 and serves as the venue for royal ceremonies and events. Visitors can enjoy a glimpse into royal life, with the Changing of the Guard being a popular attraction.

This time I brushed it twice. This time I took my family to sit together. It felt really good overlooking half of London and the Thames. The only fly in the ointment was that the weather was not good enough, and the scenery was too far from sunny and cloudy.

Windsor Castle

The Queen&#39;s favorite palace is very luxurious, but it is not allowed to take pictures. It can only be taken outside. When entering, a photo was taken and was stopped by the staff. Knowing the life of the royal family, Windsor Castle is generally very quiet.
