Places of Interest

With centuries of history behind it London has more than its share of monuments, statues, unique looking buildings and structures that give the city its character. They’re not all old though, over the last twenty years there’s been a major building boom and redevelopment of vast areas London including rundown parts of the inner city, disused former dockyards and river front wharfs, leading to the construction of new icons of the London skyline such as the Gherkin building near the city’s financial centre, new bridges across the River Thames, the turning of the former Bankside power station into the Tate Modern and a new City Hall.
