7 . You haven’t truly visited a city until you’ve experienced its nightlife. Watching a big city like London gradually turn dark and darker into the night is a beautiful journey of time and light. So how about taking a historical evening walk and touching some of the nicest areas in central London? Let’s get started.

6:30 pm

The walk starts on the Millennium Bridge. On the bridge, watch the scenic city across the River Thames with the skyscrapers (摩天大楼) gradually lighting up against the darkening skies. The Millennium Bridge has been featured in many London-based films, including Harry Potter, and the film Guardians of the Galaxy.

7:30 pm

It’s getting dark. A fifteen-minute walk northwest from St Paul’s Cathedral takes you to the historic Borough Market. During the evenings, you find a lot of restaurants around the market. This is an excellent time to get your dinner.

9:00 pm

The next stop is London Bridge. This is about 6 minutes’ walk from the Borough Market. As you join other onlookers and mentally go through the nursery school rhyme of “London Bridge is Falling Down”, you get lost again in history. Why does the song say London Bridge is falling and who is the fair lady?

During the London city fire of 1897, London Bridge served an important role in fire control. It was one of the major structures that prevented the fire from crossing over to the other side of London.

11:30 pm

London never sleeps; it’s a few minutes to midnight and everywhere is still filled with people moving around. About four minutes away from the Golden Jubilee Bridges is Trafalgar Square, our next stop.

12:00 am

It’s been a beautiful evening, hasn’t it?
