London’s most visited

The Evening Standard has a list of the top 20 visited tourist attractions in London according to a survey by the Association of Leading Visitor Attractions. Tate Modern has taken over the number one spot from the British Museum with over 4.9million visitors last year.

The Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral are both in the top ten even though they charge admission, the rest are free. The most popular place visited in the whole of the UK was Blackpool Pleasure Beach with 5.7million visitors, but really, you don’t wanna go there, don’t get curious and just leave it to the Brits.
