If you are a huge admirer of the royal family or you just want to see one of  Britain's most important cultural icons, Buckingham Palace is a must-see for anybody spending 3 Days in London. Inside its big, opulent halls, you'll find the history of the palace, which is fairly lengthy and interesting. Although Buckingham Palace's history dates back far further, King George IV ordered its construction in the late 1700s.

The best way I can describe my entire experience starting with getting my tickets from Thrillophilia to touring around St. Paul's Cathedral would be to the day that it was simply amazing. The place was so quiet and soothing, it was the kind of thing I wanted towards the end of my first-day tour in London. A side note, Just make sure you have a valid ID proof along with the tickets, it is important.
