The British Museum
Let’s start with the most iconic one. The first step is the British Museum. This cultural hangout hosts more than 8 million works and is dedicated to documenting the story of human culture and art from the very beginning until our present. The museum is actually the first national public museum in the world. Address: Great Russell St, Bloomsbury, London WC1B 3DG, UK
Buckingham Palace
Well, the 2nd step must be the Buckingham Palace. One of the top ex-libris of London, the majestic Buckingham Palace is the Monarchy Residence in London and, like all the great palaces, is a sight you can’t miss? Adress: Westminster, Londres SW1A 1AA, Reino Unido
The National Gallery
The beloved art museum was founded in 1824 and it comprises a collection of more than 2,300 paintings from the mid-13th century to 1900. It is dedicated exclusively to European art. Address: Trafalgar Square, London WC2N 5DN, UK
Palace of Westminster
The Palace of Westminster is the meeting place of the House of Commons and the House of Lords, the two houses of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Commonly known as the Houses of Parliament after its occupants, the Palace lies on the north bank of the River Thames in the City of Westminster! It’s the Home of the iconic Big Ben Tower Clock, but don’t forget that this famous building is under renovation so you won’t be able to see the famous Clock Tower!
Victoria & Albert
What kind of brand would PullCast be if we didn’t mention Victoria & Albert! Recognized as the world’s leading museum of art and design, V&A features a permanent collection of 2.3 million objects. It also houses several national collections and some of the world’s greatest resources when it comes to architecture, fashion, furniture, photography, painting, sculpture, Asian art and design, glass, and countless others. Address: Cromwell Road, London, SW7 2RLSt Paul’s Cathedral
St Paul’s Cathedral was built in dedication to Paul the Apostle. The present cathedral, dating from the late 17th century, was designed in the English Baroque style by Sir Christopher Wren. Its construction, completed in Wren’s lifetime, was part of a major rebuilding programme in the City after the Great Fire of London. St. Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AD, Reino Unido
The Serpentine Galleries
The Serpentine Galleries are located in the Kensington Gardens and are mainly dedicated to contemporary art. The two galleries (Serpentine Gallery/Serpentine Sackler Gallery) are just a stone’s throw away from each other. Address: Kensington Gardens, London W2 3XA, UK
10 Downing Street
10 Downing Street, colloquially known in the United Kingdom as Number 10, is the headquarters of the Government of the United Kingdom and the official residence of the Prime Minister. It’s the most famous door in the United Kingdom, so that’s why PullCast loves it.
