The London 2012 Olympics is only 36 days away and although David Beckham and his brood might spend most of their time in sunny LA these days, he’s drawn up a list of the top 10 spots to visit in the host city. Top of his list? Buckingham Palace of course! The Olympic ambassador said: “Buckingham Palace is in the heart of London and it’s been the scene of so many great moments in British history – none of us will ever forget the amazing wedding last year. Best of all, it’s open for visitors during the summer so you can have a look around the state apartments.” Read on for the rest of the soccer star’s must visit spots and who knows, you might even catch a glimpse of him and Victoria enjoying a day out.
