London is the kind of city we always think of when we think of a getaway, of spending a few days shopping, of a different kind of Christmas, of enjoying a city that is "complete" in every sense of the word. In short, it is London and just by the name, we know that it will not disappoint us. Here is a list of 5 places you can't miss in London. If you want to extend the list you can check out the 32 places to see in London.
The Museums of London: The British Museum and the Natural History Museum
Yes, we know it's not very common to add museums to a list of must-see places in a city, but in this case London is an exception.
And not just one, but two: the British Museum and the Natural History Museum, two of the places in the city that won't let you down.
It is not for nothing that the British Museum is the most visited place in London with more than 6 million visitors a year.
Here you can find some of the most important and famous art collections in the world, including the incredible Rosetta Stone, thanks to which Egyptian hieroglyphics have been translated.

The Natural History Museum in London is another of the city's most famous museums where we can spend a few hours amused by the incredible collections it houses.
As soon as you enter the museum you can get an idea of what to expect by looking at the impressive central hall which houses some large animals including a diplodocus skeleton and a mastodon.

London's markets
What would London be without its markets? Surely our days in the city would be a lot different without these bustling areas.
Camden is one of the best known, not only in London but all over the world, and as soon as you reach its surrounding streets you'll understand why: you've just entered the most alternative market in London.
Most of the shops you'll find in Camden are for alternative clothing, tattoos and piercings, but if that's not what you're looking for, don't worry, in the square building you'll find items aimed at a more general public and some food stalls that will take your eyes off any item of clothing.
Covent Garden is another of London' s best-known and liveliest markets where you can enjoy not only the covered space, but also the surrounding streets, which are some of the liveliest in the city.
Here you can find clothes, accessories, crafts and souvenir shops, as well as pleasant terraces where you can have a drink and rest your feet and wallets after so much shopping.

Parliament, Big Ben and the London Ferris wheel.
Who hasn't seen a photograph or heard of Big Ben? Surely everyone, in one way or another, knows it and by association knows the Parliament and the Ferris wheel that watches impassively, with such a slow movement that it even seems to be motionless.

The Houses of Parliament also known as the Palace of Westminster is the best known building in London and not only because it houses the two houses of the British Parliament, but also because it is home to the well-known Big Ben tower.
And if you are in this area of London, you can't miss the London Eye, one of the best ways to get a unique perspective of the city at 135 metres high, inside one of its cabins.
London's parks
It's probably not the first thing you'd consider visiting in a city like London, but we have to tell you to try not to forget them and spend a few hours getting to know some of the city's green lungs.
St James Park is the oldest royal park in the city and one of the most beautiful. Located in the heart of the city centre, it's a perfect addition to Buckingham Palace, as it's right next door.
Hyde Park is another of the most famous parks you have to see in London and also one of the largest. Here you will be able to enjoy not only the vegetation and the distance from the noise of the city, but you will also find some deckchairs, which you can rent, to finish enjoying this green space in London.
And nothing better after a relaxing afternoon in one of the green lungs of London than to enjoy one of the rooms in London such as those offered by Eurooms in zones 1, 2 and 3 of transport.
In London we will have no problems when it comes to choosing accommodation, there are hundreds of possibilities, but before doing so we should consider what our needs are.
Are we looking for a central accommodation, a hotel with services, a self-catering flat, a hostel with shared rooms?
In our case we are looking for accommodation in London with free wifi, all expenses included, with a fully equipped kitchen to help us save a few euros by cooking for ourselves and above all with a central location that allows us to go whenever we want to rest or leave the shopping bags we have done.
These characteristics are not difficult to find in accommodation in London, the problem is finding them at a good price. And that's when Eurooms comes into play to offer us the best results and the best options for accommodation in London.
Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is another of London's iconic landmarks located next to the Tower of London.
This bridge, like the Tower, can be visited to learn about some aspects of its construction.
We, more than the visit, we recommend you to walk around the surroundings looking for the best perspective to take home the best picture of the city.
