Some places to go.
The Queen has her London home at Buckingham Palace. It is at the end of The Mall - a long road that begins at Trafalgar Square. At half past eleven most mornings th soldiers at Buckingham palace 'change the guard'. It takes about thirty minutes, and hundreds of visitors come to watch.
And in August and September you can usually visit some rooms in the palace. But there are always lots of people coming to see them, so be ready to wait.
You can also visit the Royal Mews at the palace. This is the home of the Queen's horses and coaches.
The Queen's Gallery is also at the palace, and you can visit it at the most times of the year. Here you can see pictures from all over the world.
The Tower of London is now a museum, and one of London's most famous buildings. More than 2 million people visit it every year. Yeoman Warders (also called Beefeaters) tell them all about the Tower.
You can see the Crown Jewels and visit the Bloody Tower and the White Tower. Or take a walk round the wall and perhaps see one of the Tower's famous black birds: the ravens.
Tower Bridge is near the Tower of London. It is one of the most famous bridges in the city and first opened in 1894.
St Paul's Cathedral is not far away, on Ludgate Hill. It was built by Sir Christopher Wren after the Fire of London. Wren built more than fifty churches. Visitors can go uo to the Golden Gallery to look across London.
