WHAT IS OUR TOP 5 LONDON LANDMARKS?
TLDR: Big Smoke Events' top 5 London landmarks for their scavenger hunts: St Paul’s Cathedral, Horse Guards Parade, Houses of Parliament, the London Eye and Buckingham Palace. Perfect for tourists or locals - book a tourist scavenger hunt and follow @thebigsmokeevents on Instagram to see challenges in action.
We’ve organised our scavenger hunt corporate challenges all across London. Which gets people asking: What are the top landmarks to see in London?
London is one of the most historic cities in the world and certainly has the landmarks to prove it. Whether you go into central London every day or have never set foot in the city, you can’t deny the landscape that London has to offer. We have got some pretty impressive sights to see, new and old, that simply take your breath away, and you can’t blame that on the cold! People come from all over the world to see places like Buckingham Palace and the Tower of London. Even when I walk across the Jubilee Bridge, I am still taken aback by the city’s beauty. It’s hard not to act like a tourist in your own city when you stop to appreciate the hustle and bustle!
So, this got us at the Big Smoke Events thinking… What London landmarks are our favourites to send people to see during our scavenger hunts?
First up is St Paul’s Cathedral. A place not to be missed. With a historical story and impressive architecture, you will want to make your way there. St Paul’s is often the answer to a cryptic brain teaser we challenge our scavenger hunters to solve.
Our next must-see location is The Horse Guards Parade. If you can catch them in formation, what a day it’s been for you, and whilst you witness what these grounds have to offer, why not tick the next challenge off your list and high-five a man in uniform… There certainly will be plenty around.
In third place are the Houses of Parliament. Where all Britain’s decisions are made. Whether you agree with the current occupant of 10 Downing St. or not, it is still a brilliant place to explore. Even if you do end up dancing in front of one of the guards to get a score out of 10. (include photo)
What is next, you ask? Well, it’s none other than The London Eye. A pretty modern addition to London’s skyline, but one that has become synonymous with the capital.
You might not have time to take a ride in one of the slow-moving pods. But you do have time to pretend to swim in front of the Thames and admire the London Eye whilst you do it.
Our last but certainly not least London landmark is Buckingham Palace. This famous building is on everyone’s bucket list. And if you are a royal fan like me, it’s a chance to try and catch a glimpse of the King as you pose for an awkward family photo outside his home! (include photo)
So, there you have it, our top 5! Now, with that list, you are set to explore and ready to book onto one of our tourist scavenger hunts! Why wouldn’t you? You’ll be mad if you miss it!
