Guess the London Monument Game – 1st Edition

Taking pictures of London’s beautiful buildings on a glorious Sunny in London day never gets old. So, I figured a fun way to put all these snapshots to use is through a Guess the London Monument Game. Let’s go, Sunny friends!

Guess the London Monument Game Big Ben

Yeah right. Ok, Captain Obvious. Do you really think it’ll be THAT easy?

Get ready…. and make sure you scroll slooooooowly so you give yourself a fair chance!

Monument #1-

This is located outside the monument…

Guess the London Monument Game The Tower of London

Here’s another clue…

Guess the London Monument Game The Tower of London

Here’s your last one, if you haven’t guessed it yet…

If you said Tower of London, you’re CORRECT!

Monument #2-

This 87 story skyscraper was inaugurated in 2012, is part of the London Bridge Quarter development, and is currently the tallest building in the European Union…

Guess the London Monument Game The Shard

Did you guess the London Shard!? If so, you’re right again! It features an open-air observation deck. I haven’t visited it yet, but I’d love to go. Any Sunny friends want to join me?

Monument #3-

For our next little trivia bit, we’re checking out this edifice designed by Christopher Wren…

Guess the London Monument Game St Pauls Cathedral

I can zoom up and give you another view. Oh, and by the way this game is strictly for fun. There are no prizes at the end, except for your own London pride. 😉

Here’s my last clue for those of you who require a little prayer to get you through…

Guess the London Monument Game St Pauls Cathedral

Yes! St. Paul’s Cathedral.

Monument #4-

Good luck…

Guess the London Monument Game Walkie Talkie

Ok. That wasn’t really fair. This building doesn’t have a name. However, it’s nicknamed “Walkie Talkie.” This 37 story skyscraper is credited for melting cars this past summer. Yep. You read that right. Located at 20 Fenchurch Street, the building received the name due to its unique shape. You can read more about how it melted some guy’s Jaguar here.

Monument #5-

And finally, every American expat and true Londoner should know this building…

Guess the London Monument Game Selfridges

WHAAAAAAAT? You’re kidding? You need another clue?

Guess the London Monument Game Selfridges

It’s SELFRIDGES! Founded by American, Harry Gordon Selfridge in 1909, this is by far my favourite department store. And it should be yours too. Because I said so.

By the way, if you can’t make it to London, you can always check out Selfridges.com 😉

Stay tuned soon for another installment of “Guess the London Monument Game”, Sunny friends. Be sure to let me know how you did in the comments below, and share this link if you had fun!

    Tower of London is my most favourite ‘tourist’ attraction in London. So much history!
