London Travel Guide
Before you even set foot in London, you’re familiar with much of it. Star of the big (and small) screen, this city has been celebrated by directors for decades. So where to start your sightseeing? Do you pick off the palaces, parliament and parks – or are you heading straight to Oxford Street to get your shop on? The West End and O2 will be calling music and theatre fans. And then there’s the Thames. Stroll along it, sail it in a WW11 amphibious vehicle or eat your dinner on it via a late night cruise. In London, your options aren’t just endless, they come with the chance to experience something unique, quirky and, occasionally, downright daring.
As you’d expect from a global business heavyweight, life here is fast-paced and a smidge commercial. Though, there are enough vintage venues that provide respite from the dizzying wealth being traded on Canary Wharf. Drop by at lunchtime to see how traders like to lunch. Swing by Mayfair to do some celeb spotting or find your own little corner of London that feels just *you*. Trust us, it’s there. And finding it? The best part of visiting London.

Weather…
In terms of things to do, the best time to visit London is year round. Spring and summer temperatures add a nice touch to the parks and markets. Winter brings chilly temperatures, but there’s something about Christmas on Oxford Street that shoppers will love. Autumn is perhaps the Goldilocks month, if you want the best of everything.

Some might say the real London goes far beyond the tourist trail that plods past Big Ben. And while the capital is the sum of its iconic landmarks, it’s all the glorious, weird and wonderful spots in between where it shines. The real London’s in the boroughs, the eclectic markets and the spaces made for everyone to be whichever kind of Londoner they want to be.

The list of London must-sees is massive. FOMO is inevitable. Once you’ve accepted that, it’s time to start building an itinerary packed with museums, theatre shows, landmarks, gardens, shopping, experiences and quirky spots you’ll not find anywhere else.
