With the country in the midst of marriage fever in the build-up to Prince William and Kate Middleton's upcoming wedding, why not soak up the atmosphere of the big day by booking hotels in London? If you're lucky enough to have been invited to the ceremony you may be currently searching for cheap hotels in the capital, but even if you are not going to be attending what could possibly be the wedding of the year that should not stop you from heading to London. The day of the wedding - April 29th - has been designated as a public holiday and to get a good idea of what the ceremony will be like, you can visit Westminster Abbey - the venue where the happy couple will get married. Founded in 960, the building has been the location for a number of royal weddings - including those of Prince Charles and Princess Diana and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh - so a trip here could offer a unique insight into British history. You will find a wide range of fascinating monuments, structures, rooms and gardens to explore, including the shrine of St Edward the Confessor. The abbey's museum, meanwhile, is located in the 11th century vaulted undercroft of St Peter. Here you can view a range of historic artefacts, including Henry V's funeral sword and shield. Open to tourists everyday of the week - with the exception of Sundays - there should be plenty of opportunities for you to take in the venue where William and Kate will exchange their vows. Of course, you will not be able to visit the abbey on the day of the wedding itself so it may be a good idea to check about opening times beforehand. Before the ceremony, William and Kate will separately travel to the abbey in a procession through the streets of London. The route will encompass some of the capital's most iconic attractions - including the London Eye - so get in a good position to see them go past! After the ceremony is over, the couple are expected to make a public appearance on a balcony at Buckingham Palace. Here, they will kiss for the cameras, so a trip to the royal residence could allow you your first glimpse of them as husband and wife. For a truly royal experience, why not take in some of the other buildings owned by the monarchy in the days after the wedding? You could visit the Tower of London, Clarence House or Hampton Court Palace. If you want to soak up the atmosphere of the royal wedding and book hotels in London come to eBookers.com.
