So, if you're planning to visit London anytime soon and want to perceive it from the eye of an architect, this blog will help you do so! We’ve jotted down a few London favorites that you must visit.

  3. Westminster Abbey Westminster Abbey means your eyes are in for a gothic feast! Well, this Anglican church was built in 1060 by Henry III as his burial place. It was formerly known as the Collegiate Church of St. Peter at Westminster and is a popular spot for tourists and locals alike. The historic monument is 225 feet and 4 inches tall and its old stone construction gleams white under the sunlight, especially when the sun rises – truly an Instagram-worthy moment!

  4. Houses of the Parliament Rebuilt in 1870 this historic yet modern structure has seen many changing colors of the UK. This place is a classic example of Modern English architecture with Sir Charles Barry’s simple yet eye- catching ground floor map and the Gothic Octagonal Hall in the center. The floor plan is accurately a stroke of genius and has been an inspiration for many buildings across the UK.

  5. St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel Located exactly behind St. Pancras train station, this top-class hotel is an industry-standard for hotels across London. Its magnificence can be measured by its 80-meters clock tower that swoons everyone away with its beauty. The hotel has more than 200 rooms, a breathtaking lobby, and a huge staircase that will remind you of movie scenes and palaces.

  6. The Gherkin This structure is what modern London looks like. Formerly known as the Swiss Re Building, this construction is the city’s crucial financial chamber and has stood tall since 2001. It was designed and constructed by Ken Shuttleworth and Norman Foster, two brilliant minds who created a neo-futuristic sky-scrapper well before time!

  7. The Tower Bridge Talking about architectural designs in London, how can we forget our personal and everyone else’s favorite – The Tower Bridge? This structure has been London’s iconic symbolic representation for many years and rightfully continues to be to date. The Towers Bridge is 42 meters above the river and showcases actual Victorian engineering and design architecture.

  8. In a nutshell London is a classic mix of history and modern architecture. A visit to this city will ignite your creative energy and give you a new perspective on architecture and structural design. And for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, while exploring Kensington's architectural gems, the Park Grand Kensington stands as an inviting choice among hotels in the area.
