It is a 61 metres high doric column with a viewing platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/monument-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A stroll through London\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Not very roomy, especially when people are coming from the other direction. But it is certainly worth the effort. The view is perfect and once back down you are even handed a certificate that you made it all the way up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thought of getting to the top of the column with an elevator and the fact that admission is free with the London Pass lured us in. But unfortunately, there is no elevator! What there is instead are 311 steps up a narrow winding staircase. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We crossed over the London Bridge and followed the Thames to the Millennium Bridge. Directly next to the bridge at the embankment of the Thames is the Tate Museum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we crossed the river again we had a look inside this huge factory building. Just a short look, we came back another day to see the pictures inside. <br>Admission is free. <br>Visits to the special exhibitions in an area of the museum that is particularly reserved and closed off for them need to be paid for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/bb-plugin\/cache\/blick-auf-die-bruecke-square.jpg\" alt=\"A stroll through London\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it was time to cross the Thames again using the famous Millennium Bridge. A remarkable construction that bridge is. The Millennium Bridge is fully pedestrianised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/bb-plugin\/cache\/unter-der-bruecke-square.jpg\" alt=\"A stroll through London\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Millennium Bridge The view of both sides of the Thames is great from the middle of the bridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our next aim on the other side was the St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral. <br>St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral is one of London\u2019s biggest cathedrals and together with Westminster Abbey certainly one of the most well-known ones. We did not visit the interior of the church but we heard that it is worthwhile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fromplacetoplace.travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/01\/st-paul-haupteingang.jpg\" alt=\"A stroll through London\"\/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A stroll through London: Many of the fascinating London landmarks are within walking distance of one another.
