England by Nick


Hello everyone. England, and more spceifically, London, is a city renowned for its old Victorian style buildings and the bustling vibe that it has like New York, as well as being the capital of England, is a place I've always been somewhat interested in visiting. Here are three of some of the many attractions available:

Stonehenge

While the Stonehenge is not in London, it think it is definitely a site to see when in England. It is a famously bizarre and mysterious stone structure that isolated out in the countryside of Wiltshire, and has been around for presumably 3,500 years. What its purpose is, we do not know, but it is theorised to be an ancient burial site.
I believe that it is a must-see when in England due to how iconic it is.



Warner Brothers Studio tour

The tour of 'The MAking of Harry Potter' in the Warner Brother Studio, London, is considered to be one of the biggest attractions, and it's not hard to see why. The tour is filled with interactive displays, up to scale props, and replicas of the sets, including a 1:24 scale Hogwarts used in the first film. For me personally as a child, I was a big Harry Potter fan, and so this would be a very nostalgic and magical (pun 100% intended) experience.

Walking tours

London itself is a great city filled with fantastic architecture and buildings, such as the Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Trafalgar Square, just to name a few. London is one of the most famous cities in the world, and so simply touring through it is a great experience in its own right. There are plenty of companies you can book a tour with, or, if you're feeling independent, you can explore the city on your own. Seeing as there is no language barrier, it shouldn't be terribly difficult.
