London Eye (The London Wheel)
London Eye (The London Wheel) is a huge tourist wheel or pinwheel created qualified in the British capital before the turn of the twenty-first century. A person with a giant wheel of London can see a lot of things up to 40 km on average, and some famous landmarks such as St. Paul's Writer, Westminster Palace and Windsor Castle can be seen.

National Gallery of London
It was founded in 1824 and houses a rich collection of paintings dating from 2300 to the mid-13th century to 1900
The exhibition is an exempt charity, and among the public interests is a body other than the Ministry of Culture, Information and Sports.
A collection belonging to it to the public from entering the UK and to the main group (but not some private exhibitions) is free. Unlike museums like the Louvre in Paris or the Prado del Museum in Madrid, none of the National Museum was formed to nationalize the existing property or princely collection of art. It came into existence when the British government bought 38 paintings from the heirs of the insurance broker and art sponsor Angerstein Julius John in 1824. After the initial purchase of the gallery was mainly purchased from its early managers, notably Sir Charles Locke Eastlake, and private donations, which accounted for two thirds the group.
The resulting collection is small in size, compared to many European national exhibition galleries, but in an encyclopedic scale; most major developments in the Western painting "From Giotto to Cezanne" are represented with important works. It used to be claimed that this was one of the few National Gallery that works on all permanent gallery, but this is no longer the case. The third building to house the National Museum was, designed by current William Wilkins 1832-8. The façade only on Trafalgar Square has not changed from this time, as the building has been expanded and fragmented throughout its history. The building often came under criticism for looking at the aesthetic shortcomings and lack of space, and the last problem led to the creation of the Tate Gallery of British Art in 1897. The Sainsbury Pavilion, an extension to the west by Robert Venturi and Dennis Scott Brown, is a prominent example of postmodern architecturalism in Britain. The current director of the National Museum is Nicholas Benny.
The Millennium Bridge
The Millennium Bridge, officially known as the London Millennium Walkway Bridge, is a suspended steel bridge built for pedestrians to cross the Thames River in London, connecting Bankside to London. It is located between the South Bridge and the Blackfriars Railway Bridge. It is owned and concerned by the London Bridge and Real Estate Authority. Construction began in 1998 and opened in June 2000. Londoners dubbed him the "wobbly bridge" after spectators felt an unexpected vibratory movement while crossing over it. The bridge was closed later on the opening day, and two days after limited entry, it was closed for almost two years after administrative changes were made to the movement on it. It reopened in 2002. The south end of the bridge is near the Globe Theater, Bankside Gallery and Tate Modern, but at the northern end it is opposite the London School, which is located below St Paul's Cathedral. The passage along the bridge allows a clear view of the river’s view of the south façade of the cathedral, which is carried by a bridge beam.
London Zoo
London Zoo is the oldest scientific zoo in the world. It opened in the city of London on April 27, 1828. Its original purpose was to use it for scientific animal studies. However, it eventually opened to the public in 1847. In addition to being the first scientific zoo, the London Zoo witnessed the opening of the first reptile section in 1849, the first aquarium for the public in 1853, the first insect section in 1881 and the first zoo for children in 1938.
Today, London Zoo includes a group of 755 animal species, which includes more than 15 thousand individuals of these animals. It is thus one of the largest groups in the entire United Kingdom.
The park is managed under the auspices of the Zoological Society of London, founded in 1826.
The park is located on the northern edge of Regents Park. It does not receive government funding, but relies for its funding on support and on what is collected from friends, members and visitors to the park.
