The capital of the British empire is a giant of a habitation, filled with twisty alleys of double yellow lines and double decker buses. Underneath the streets, the famous London Underground and other major train lines transport the citizens around town, to the rest of England, and to mainland Europe. The Industrial Revolution marked London Town with pockets of old school warehouse districts and remnants of manufacturing plants, some of which now exemplify contemporary architectural conversions such as the Tate Modern. In the center of town you can find all the major tourist attractions – Buckingham Palace, Parliament, Picadelly Circus, Westminster Abbey, and of course Big Ben. While often overlooked in the guidebooks, the countless office buildings are also prominent fixtures of the city and are a testament to London’s position as a financial capital of the world.
