London Sights/Attractions - Victoria Embankment, Vinopolis, Wellington Arch, Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, WhitehallVictoria EmbankmentWC2, Tube: Westminster/Embankment/Temple/Blackfriars, Show MapOpened in 1874, Joseph Bazalgette's Thames promenade was part of an ambitious project to relieve congestion along the Strand whilst simultaneously extending the Metropolitan District Railway between South Kensington and Mansion House (now the District line Tube).The embankment's most famous (and oldest) monument is Cleopatra's needle, an Egyptian granite obelisk that dates back to 1475 BC. With the route following the curve of the Thames passed Waterloo Bridge and up to Blackfriars, the embankment runs behind a number of historic buildings including Portcullis House, the Ministry of Defence building, Adelphi Theatre, Savoy Hotel and Somerset House.Part of the design also included the Victoria Embankment Gardens (just off Villiers Street and reached from Embankment Tube). Interestingly, the gardens contain a water gate which, having been built in 1626, used to be located on the river's edge. However, once work on the embankment had been completed, the gate found itself stranded some 330ft from the Thames.Vinopolis (City of Wine)Bank End, SE1 9BU, Tel: , Website: www.vinopolis.co.uk, Tube: London Bridge, Show MapHidden in vaults below street level, Vinopolis - City of Wine - was created as an 'interactive tour' of the world's wine regions. Covering the great wine producing countries of Europe, as well as the 'New World' of America, Australia and New Zealand, Vinopolis features 20 themed rooms, each of which highlight the grapes and wines of a particular country or region. In addition, you can learn about the history of wine growing in general, whilst also finding out how London has played a major role in the wine trade over the centuries. And, for Champagne lovers, there's a room dedicated to the splendours of the bubbly stuff.As a finale (and included as part of the entrance fee), you'll have the chance to taste five wines from a list of over 200. Tasting notes for your choices are also included should you wish to know more about each one (other wines can also be tasted for an additional charge).Vinopolis also has a large on-site shop selling not only fine wines, but numerous items to help enhance your imbibing pleasure, such as specially created wine glasses and decanters. Wines can be purchased by the bottle or by the case.The exhibition is situated along the rejuvenated Bankside between Southwark/London bridges in Clink Street and is open from midday-9pm (Mon, Fri, Sat) and midday-6pm (Tue-Thu, Sun). London Pass Accepted Here.Wellington ArchHyde Park Corner, W1J 7JZ, Tel: , Open: 30 Mar-30 Sep, Wed-Sun, Bank Holidays 10am-6pm, 1-31 Oct, Wed-Sun, 10am-5pm; 1 Nov-29 Mar, Wed-Sun, 10am-4pm. Closed 24-26 Dec, 1 Jan, Admission: £2.50 Adults, £2 Concessions, £1.50 Children, Website: www.english-heritage.org.uk, Tube: Hyde Park Corner, Show MapA recent renovation by English Heritage has allowed the arch, marooned on a traffic island at Hyde Park Corner, to be opened to the public for the first time. Once home to London's smallest police station (in the 1960s), the Arch was originally intended as a ceremonial entrance to Green Park and Buckingham Palace. However, spiralling costs (and the subsequent death of George IV in 1830), left many of the design's ornamental embellishments on the drawing board.Later acquired by a Committee organising the national memorial to the Duke of Wellington, it was topped with an equestrian statue of the Duke before being dismantled and moved to its present location at Constitution Hill. At the same time, the Duke's statue was removed and transferred to Aldershot, instead being replaced by Adrian Jones' depiction of The Angel of Peace descending on the Chariot of War. For visitors, a small but interesting exhibit details the monument's chequered history, while an observation platform offers pleasant views over Hyde Park and down to the Houses of Parliament. London Pass Accepted Here.Westminster AbbeyDeans Yard, SW1P 3PA, Tel: , Website: www.westminster-abbey.org, Open: 9.30am-4.45pm Mon-Fri and Sat 9.30am-2.45pm, Sun worship only, Admission: £6 adults, £4 Concessions, Tube: Westminster, Show MapWestminster Abbey is always regarded as one of the "must see" sights for visitors to London, being known across the world as the setting for the coronations of British kings and queens (and the eventual resting-place for a number of them).Over the years, it has also been the setting for Royal weddings and other elaborate ceremonies, while most recently, it was associated with the funeral and remembrance service for Diana, Princess of Wales. Her untimely death on 31 August 1997 triggered an outpouring of emotion and grief rarely seen (or associated) with the normally reserved, stiff upper-lipped British.Historically, there's been an abbey on the site since the 8th century, although the original building has been rebuilt or extended over the years, on some occasions by some of the most important monarchs in English history (such as Edward the Confessor and Henry III).All but two coronations since the reign of William the Conqueror have taken place here, the most recent being that of our reigning monarch, Elizabeth II in 1952.As well as being the final resting-place of many monarchs, other famous historical figures are honoured here, including Winston Churchill for whom there is a commemorative tablet in the Nave.Westminster CathedralAshley Place, SW1, Tel: , Website: www.westminstercathedral.org.uk, Campanile Bell tower lift open daily 9am-5pm (Apr-Nov), 9am-5pm Thu-Sun from Dec-Mar, Tube: Victoria, Show MapAlthough languishing behind the modern (and rather unattractive) office blocks of busy Victoria Street, Westminster Cathedral is an interesting, albeit slightly wacky example of neo-byzantine architecture. Built in 1895, on the site of a former market owned by Benedictine monks, the land was also previously used for a 17th-century prison before being purchased by the church in 1884.Constructed of terracotta bricks and white Portland stone, the extravagant exterior also boasts a 274ft bell tower which, when accessed by lift provides excellent views of the London Eye, Houses of Parliament and Westminster Abbey. Elsewhere, John Francis Bentley's elegant interior features detailed marble and mosaic work, while Eric Gill's dramatic reliefs of the Fourteen Stations of the Cross were sculpted during World War I.WhitehallSynonymous with the machinery of government in Britain, Whitehall takes its name from the Whitehall Palace which was constructed here for Hubert de Burgh in the 13th century (before being rebuilt and enlarged for Cardinal Wolsey during the 16th century). Although by and large, tourists simply use Whitehall as a thoroughfare from the Palace of Westminster down to Trafalgar Square, the area plays hosts to Downing Street, the ornate Banqueting House and the Cenotaph war memorial.
