Tube: Tower Hill, London Bridge

London Dungeons
This museum takes you back to the most bloody events in British history. You can witness the beheading of Anne Boleyn or listen to the 'moaning' of a room full of people dying during the Great Plague. For those who like a bit of a scare!

HMS Belfast
The HMS Belfast has been active during World War II- the ship even participated in sinking a German cruiser. Now it is a floating naval museum, and part of the old cruiser has been recreated to show what the ship was like during the War. Children will love to explore all of the 9 decks of the HMS Belfast.
Tube: London Bridge

Houses of Parliament
Visit the Houses of Parliament and its splendid Clock Tower. Inside hangs the famous bell Big Ben named after Sir Benjamin Hall, Chief Commissioner of Works when the bell was hung in 1858. It is worth queuing to visit the Strangers' Gallery where you can see the House at work, and get a chance to see the magnificent interior as well.
Overseas Visitors : A very limited number of permits are available to visitors to tour the Houses of Parliament. Visitors should apply to the Parliamentary Education Unit (edunit@parliament.uk), and if granted, a permit will enable a party of up to 16 people to tour the Palace of Westminster on Fridays between 15.30-17.30 (provided that both Houses have concluded their business for the week).
