This is what living in London is about!

The National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul's Cathedral features three dramatic bronze statues depicting firefighters in action during the London Blitz, when the city endured 57 consecutive nights of bombing. Originally unveiled in 1991 by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, the memorial was later elevated and expanded in 2003 to commemorate all 1,192 UK firefighters who have died in the line of duty, not just those from World War II. Visitors can easily access this moving monument via the Millennium Footbridge from the South Bank, and if you're interested in attending a special ceremony, a remembrance service is held annually on the Sunday closest to September 7th, marking the anniversary of the Blitz's beginning.

The Royal Exchange in London, founded in 1571 by merchant Thomas Gresham, has been rebuilt twice after fires and still stands today as a magnificent neoclassical building designed by William Tite in the 1840s. The historic landmark features impressive sculptures, including the golden Gresham Grasshopper weathervane atop its clock tower and beautiful interior murals depicting scenes from London's history. Traditionally, royal proclamations are read from its steps, including the announcement of new monarchs following the death or abdication of the previous ruler. Today, visitors can enjoy luxury shopping and fine dining inside this iconic building located at the heart of London's financial district near Bank junction.

Silhouetted against the London skyline is one of the most famous of London’s buildings. 20 St Mary Axe, or known locally and iconically as The Gherkin, is one heck of a beautiful building. It is simply an unmistakable structure, and along with Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, and Big Ben, it is a must-see. It is totally up there just with all the others and just adds to London's image as a global city.
