【题目】
There’s no better destination than London if you want to learn the 1,000-year history of British kings and queens. The UK’s capital has a series of palaces, museums and galleries open to the public.
Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle is one of the world's largest and oldest castles. It also happens to be one of the Queen’s main living places-she spends most of her private weekends here.
Admission: Adults £ 20.50, Under 17s£ 18.
Buckingham Palace
Buckingham Palace, the official London living place of the Queen and Prince Philip, opens to the public when the royals are on summer vacation. You won't be able to nose around the whole palace. But visitors can admire impressive Regency interiors and priceless art in the state rooms.
A Royal Day Out ticket (adults about £ 52, under 17s £ 29) gives access to all art palaces plus a stroll(闲逛) in the gardens. An audio guide is included in the price.
Westminster Abbey
Walk on the same floor as Kate did on the day of her wedding to Prince William. Then clock the Abbey's royal heritage: 16 weddings, 17 tombs of Kings and Queens and the coronation (加冕礼) of almost every ruler for over 1,000 years. You'd better download the wonderful audio tour explained by actor Jeremy Irons onto your smartphone ahead of time. The Abbey is still a functioning place of worship (礼拜), so don't forget to check visiting time.
Admission: Adults £ 22, 16 and under £ 9. Tickets are cheaper online.
Kensington Palace
The White Garden at Kensington Palace, in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales, is now the official London home of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. So it's kind of them to let visitors have a walk through the King’s State Apartments, the Queen's State Apartments and gardens.
Admission: Adults £ 25, Under 16s Free.
