Lots to see and do
If you’re done exploring Islington, then drive to the city center of London and visit Big Ben, the iconic 16-story Gothic clocktower. Then cross the Westminster Bridge to visit SEA LIFE London Aquarium. If you’re in for some ‘scare’ factor, head to The London Dungeon with costumed actors and themed fairground rides depicting stories from London’s past. Coca-Cola London Eye Ferris wheel would be thrilling in the evening, so be there to catch a bird’s-eye view of the city’s landmarks when the sun sets.
