格里昂高等教育学院 2015年7月30日
你渴望冒险吗？喜欢独特的体验吗？想探索首都城市伦敦的趣味吗？
我们都喜欢著名英国作家塞缪尔·约翰逊（Samuel Johnson）这句古老的名言 — 描写在伦敦生活的好处：
“你会发现没有人愿意离开伦敦。如果一个人厌倦了伦敦，他也就厌倦了生活，因为伦敦有生活能赋予人的一切。”我们非常同意这句话！
所以我们对格里昂伦敦校区的学生经验主任Florence Beckett和同时身为学生和校园生活主管的Lailana Shouly说，要让学生们在这个经典的国际化大都市中体验到更多具有感官刺激的趣味性活动。
他们在这里给你列出了你在伦敦必游的景点清单！
伦敦有着极其丰富的文化和历史资源，在英国最值得参观的20个旅游景点中，有17个都在伦敦！拥有众多世界一流的博物馆和画廊也是这座城市的一大特色，这些博物馆和画廊大多数都是免费向游客开放的。在2013年一年间，伦敦的大英博物馆（British Museum）、国家美术馆（National Gallery）、自然历史博物馆（Natural History Museum）和泰特现代艺术馆（Tate Modern art gallery）的游览人数就达到2，300万之多！
在猫途鹰（TripAdvisor）上列出的伦敦2,400件好玩的事情中，浏览大英博物馆（The British Museum）排名第一！大英博物馆于1759年向大众开放，馆内收藏的大量文物让你可以追溯到200万以前的人类历史和文化。并且你还会在同一个屋檐下发现罗塞塔石碑（Rosetta Stone）和埃及木乃伊!
国家美术馆（The National Gallery）是一个艺术博物馆，免费向游客开放，里面陈列了2,300多幅从13世纪中期至1900年的名画。可以点击前面的链接了解一下其中30幅尤为著名的画作。

身处泰特现代艺术馆（Tate Modern art gallery），你可以徜徉在美奂绝伦的当代艺术海洋中。该艺术馆位于泰晤士河畔，馆内装置都是现代化风格，从这里可以看到这座终日无休的伦敦城市的绝美风光。如果你对传统艺术品更感兴趣，为什么不来伦敦泰特现代艺术馆看看呢？
圣保罗大教堂（St Paul’s Cathedral），极力邀请你进来参观，欣赏这座令人叹为观止的建筑，这是著名建筑师克里斯多佛·雷恩（Christopher Wren）爵士的杰作。威尔士亲王查尔斯王子（Charles, Prince of Wales）与已故的戴安娜王妃（Diana Spencer）当年就是在这里举办的婚礼。其举世闻名的圆形屋顶是伦敦的标志性景点。

《妈妈咪呀》（Mamma Mia），准备好被这个故事深深打动。该剧被称为“小镇上最有趣的演出”之一，说实话，这个称谓对于这部电影来说最恰当不过了。如果你想在晚上看一部热闹的喜剧，欣赏瑞典流行乐团ABBA创作的优质音乐并让自己融入其韵律，《妈妈咪呀》就是为你准备的！

Once in a Lifetime: Your London Bucket List!
by Glion Institute of Higher Education 30 July 2015
Do you have a thirst for adventure, a taste for unique experiences and a drive to discover the delights of the capital city of London?
We love this old quote about London from famous English writer Samuel Johnson that reminds us of the advantages of living in London:
“You find no man, at all intellectual, who is willing to leave London. No, Sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” We certainly agree!
So we spoke to Florence Beckett, Head of Student Experience, and Lailana Shouly, student and Campus Life leader at the Glion London campus, to find out more about the sensory stimulus on offer in this classic cosmopolitan city.
They reveal here your bucket list of London attractions!
