London boasts some of the world’s most famous attractions that seemingly appear in any movie \u00a0or television show set in the city. \u00a0Whether it’s the iconic London Eye, Trafalgar Square, St. Paul’s Cathedral or Tower Bridge…often mistaken by tourists for the world-famous London Bridge.<\/p>\n Tower Bridge<\/a><\/span> is far more captivating than the rather ordinary London Bridge which, by the way, if you’re interested in seeing, would require a trip back to the USA as the original bridge\u00a0now resides in Arizona<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Loaded with history, you could easily spend a lifetime in London and not see all that it has to offer. One lesser-known highlight however is Winston\u00a0Churchill’s\u00a0Cabinet War Rooms<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0The Prime Minister’s hidden headquarters beneath the streets of London just a few blocks from Parliment, the World War II nerve center has been incredibly well preserved and opened to the public since 1984.<\/p>\n See the highlights in just a couple of hours, or spend the day taking in Churhill’s rise to power and fame all the way through to his passing in 1965 and learn about his long-planned funeral that was appropriately dubbed “Operation Hope Not”<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0This should be at the top of any history buff’s list of things to do while in London<\/p>\n If you’re looking to take in a memorable meal then go with the traditional fish and chips with a side of mushy peas or some bangers and mash in one of London’s countless restaurants or pubs.<\/p>\n If you’ve already given those a shot and are open to something a bit different, try the unassuming Southern Indian restaurant that goes by the name of\u00a0“Rasa”<\/a><\/span> on Dering Street.<\/p>\n Originally opened as a vegetarian restaurant, meat dishes were added to the menu over the years and the quaint side-street eatery has earned a reputation not only for amazing food, but fantastic customer service. \u00a0Try the banana boli…you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n If you’re not feeling quite that adventurous and would prefer some more familiar options, Bar Remo<\/a>\u00a0offers some of London’s best Italian food. \u00a0Whether it’s a pasta dish, a chicken dish or just a glass of wine or two, you can’t go wrong with this option.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Speaking of wine, two excellent\u00a0options for those who love their crushed grapes would be Gordon’s Wine Bar<\/a>, the oldest \u00a0wine bar in London or the Cork and Bottle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Established in 1890, Gordon’s does their best to preserve that old feel. \u00a0Inside, you’ll find dimly lit cramped quarters that some consider undesirable, but others see as an effort to maintain the bar’s nostalgic feel. \u00a0If you’re a bit claustrophobic you could always step outside on to Gordon’s courtyard\/patio, or take a trip to the aforementioned\u00a0Cork and Bottle<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n Located in Leicester Square, this wine bar\/restaurant can be an incredible place to go with friends if you plan ahead. \u00a0They stock thousands of bottles of wine and offer some very good food options, but their character \u00a0lies in their “alcove” seating.<\/p>\n Several tables dotted along the perimeter of the bar that house tables capable of seating anywhere from 4 to 10 diners, depending on which table you reserve. While you’re still in a popular night spot, calling ahead to reserve an alcove isolates you and your party to enjoy each other’s company in a private but unrestricted environment.<\/p>\n Just after a few pints? \u00a0That’s great because the options are limitless as you’ll likely find a pub within a stone’s throw no matter where you are in the city. \u00a0It may be your first time in London, but why not go to a pub you’ll recognize?<\/p>\n Fans of the classic London-based movie “Snatch” will want to pay a visit to The Jolly Gardeners<\/a>. \u00a0Referred to in the film as “The Drowning Trout”, this German themed pub is a bit off the beaten path so you may want to get a cab, but it looks just as it did in the classic scene featuring Vinnie Jones, so stop in and have a few pints, but leave your Desert Eagle at home.<\/p>\n![\"Tower](\"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Tower-Bridge-300x169.jpg\")
