The most exciting things to do in the Waterloo and South Bank

October 12, 2016 By itravelnet.com

Travellers will no doubt end up visiting the amazing areas of the South Bank and Waterloo as there are so many attractions and landmarks there. The south side of the river is known for its wonderful eateries and arts venues that are great for the whole family. The area’s popular attractions for young ones include Sea Life London Aquarium that offers themed zones, fascinating underwater creatures and the brilliant Shark Walk. This is a very special part of the venue that offers visitors the opportunity to walk across glass with numerous species of sharks below them. This attraction is very concerned with encouraging tourists about conservation and provides a centre that offers educational talks on this subject.

Southbank

Tourists should see London at a great height at least once during their trip to the city. One of the best places to appreciate the scenery is the London Eye, which offers impressive views of the River Thames, the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. The glass capsules take about 30 minutes to get around offering incredible views of the city, and this is an ideal attraction for both the day and night. Another way to admire the various London attractions is through a tour on the River Thames. There are numerous companies who offer these exciting tours and provide fun and informative knowledge about each landmark or sight they pass.

Heading to central London it’s important for tourists to find the ideal place to stay when on holiday. When completing a Shaftesbury Hyde Park International booking at the hotel it’s important to find the right room. There are many wonderful living spaces including the club rooms that offer extras such as complimentary fresh fruit, mineral water and flowers. The duplex rooms have fully-equipped kitchenettes and offer comfortable beds for a superb night’s sleep. There are many excellent hotels near Hyde Park, London but this luxury accommodation is perfect for both leisure and business tourists visiting the capital. The beauty of choosing this residence is that it is close to many attractions and sights.

Sights of London

Another destination for all the family is The London Dungeon, which is a captivating historic attraction. There are actors who take tourists through the rather gruesome stories of this venue and allow them to really feel as if they are themselves experiencing the tales. Shrek’s Adventure London is a very popular destination with fans of the films, and is a fantastic walk-and-ride attraction based indoors. There are many brilliant live shows at this venue with impressive story-telling and rides that make this a fun experience for children and adults.

Southbank

The Southbank Centre is a superb destination for tourists to venture to that offers art, music, dance and literature events. There are numerous free activities here and markets regularly held at this incredible arts venue. The BFI Southbank is the place to be if travellers are interested in watching hundreds of films and television shows from this attraction’s superb archives. For something a little different tourists should also head to the wonderful Garden Museum that celebrates British gardens through exhibitions and displays. It is a stunning destination to visit and is the perfect place for relaxing during a busy day in the capital.
