3. The British Crown Jewels (in the Tower of London) Absolutely massive lines, and you go past the jewels on a moving sidewalk/conveyor belt. Still, the diamonds are incredibly, unbelievably huge, and the Royal Punch Bowl is both beautiful and utterly tasteless at the same time.

4. Buckingham Palace, London. Another massive line, probably with the same people you met waiting to see the Crown Jewels-The palace tour may no longer be given when you get there, but it k is, you won’t be disappointed. You don’t get to look in the Queen’s medicine cabinet or lingerie drawer, but the palace is pty darn impressive.
