London layers royal landmarks, riverside walks, busy markets, and distinct neighbourhoods. Follow the Thames, explore Westminster, and leave time for museums, parks, and local streets.
Start around Westminster for Parliament, Big Ben, and Westminster Abbey, then follow the Thames toward the South Bank. Cross a bridge for changing views of the skyline, and reserve the Tower of London or Buckingham Palace when their opening times fit your plan.
Many major museums, including the British Museum, Tate Modern, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, have free permanent collections. Balance them with a market visit: Borough for food, Columbia Road for flowers on Sunday, or Camden for stalls and canal-side walks.
Give individual areas their own time—Covent Garden, Soho, Notting Hill, and Greenwich each feel different on foot. Use contactless payment on the Underground and buses, check the last train for late plans, and stand on the right on escalators to keep stations flowing.
