★★★London's great Gothic abbey is packed with the tombs and monuments of British monarchs and some the world's most famous playwrights, poets, scientists, and other notables
Why so many British landmarks look medieval but are really about 150 years old
★★★
★★★The postcard Oxford college, film template for Hogwarts and home to the Oxford cathedral
★★★This bespired gothic 13C wonder is one of the great cathedrals of Europe
★☆☆London's iconic exclamation point, the clock tower housing Big Ben, sprouts from the honey-hued complex of be-spired 1840 buildings where British Parliament meets (and you can attend sessions)
★☆☆This faux-medieval bridge is well worth the photo stop—but you might not bother with the exhibition
★☆☆The oldest college at Oxford has great architectural heritage and JRR Tolkein memories
★☆☆London's 18th century church steepling Trafalgar Square hosts excellent free lunchtime concerts with a cheap cafe in the crypt
☆☆☆This London rail station was catapulted to fame as the location of Platform 9 3/4 in the Harry Potter books and movies
☆☆☆London's Catohlic cathedral is notable for free organ concerts and boys' choir—and for NOT being the far more famous Westminster Abbey
☆☆☆Nelson's body lay in state in in Thornhill's impressive Painted Hall of this vast Christopher Wren building in Greenwich
☆☆☆This redbrick Victorian castle is London's prettiest rail station—and home to the Eurostar to the Continent
