Places to explore in LondonEngland · London
The Thames built the capital, laying down the gravel terraces and marshes that the city has spread across for two thousand years. Greenery survives on a grand scale: the deer-grazed acres of Richmond Park, the sprung turf and bathing ponds of Hampstead Heath, and the gorse and windmill of Wimbledon Common. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew hold the world's largest plant collection beside the river, with Tudor Hampton Court upstream. At the old heart stands the Tower of London, Norman keep and fortress on the tidal reach.
