The Rough Guide to Britain
by Robert Andrews, Jules Brown, Rob Humphreys, Phil Lee, Donald Reid
  If ever a nation were both hostage to and beneficiary of its history, it's Britain. The single most important thing to remember when travelling here is that you're visiting not one country, but three: England, Wales and Scotland. For visitors foreign and domestic, that means contending with three capital cities (London, Cardiff and Edinburgh) and three sets of national identity - not to mention the myriad accent shifts as you move between them.

London's Landmarks

The London skyline has changed dramatically over the last century

London has a number of iconic landmarks, recognised by people all over the world. Virtually everyone knows that Big Ben, Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square are in the British capital. But newer landmarks are becoming a prominent feature of tourist and working London.

The BA London Eye stands 135 metres high beside the River Thames, on the opposite bank to the Houses of Parliament. It is a massive rotating observation wheel built for the millennium, offering views high across the capital and has become the city's most popular paid-for attraction.

Further down the river, at Bankside, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre has been recreated. The theatre stands near the site of the original Tudor theatre built in 1599. The new Globe Theatre has a thatched roof, covered galleries and a stage open to the skies. Shakespeare's plays are performed once again in a Tudor setting.
