London

Travel England

London is a city that never really stands still. Historic streets sit beside glass towers, quiet neighbourhood pubs exist a few minutes from world famous landmarks, and every corner feels like it has a story layered into it. From early morning walks along the Thames to late nights in Soho, London offers something for every type of traveller. Whether you are here for museums, markets, food, theatre, green spaces, or simply wandering without a plan, the city rewards curiosity and slow exploration just as much as ticking off the big sights.

London is a BIG place.. It's not one of those places that can be done in a day! So plan ahead!

Ryan's favourites

Hyde Park

Best for: space and balance in the city

One of the best places to slow London down. Whether you are walking, sitting by the water, or just cutting through, it gives you breathing room in the middle of everything.

South Bank

Best for: iconic London views

This stretch along the Thames pulls everything together. Landmarks, street life, food stalls, and constant movement make it feel like London in one walk.

Covent Garden

Best for: atmosphere and energy

Always busy but never dull. Between performers, shops, and places to eat, it is easy to lose track of time just wandering around.

Ryan's favourites

Camden Market

Best for: street food and alternative culture

Loud, colourful, and full of character. It feels creative and chaotic in a good way, especially if you want food and people watching.

Greenwich

Best for: history with open views

Standing at the top of the park and looking back over the city never gets old. It feels calmer than central London but still deeply connected to it.

Soho

Best for: nightlife and food

Busy streets packed with bars and restaurants give Soho its buzz. It works just as well for daytime coffee as it does for late nights.

A MUST SEE

The British Museum

Best for: culture without cost

Free entry and endless things to see make this a standout. Even a short visit feels rewarding and adds depth to any London trip.

Skyline Views from Primrose Hill

Best for: seeing London as a whole

Watching the city stretch out in front of you puts everything into perspective. It is a simple spot that leaves a lasting impression.
