London has just about as rich a history as any other place on earth, but nothing about this city is stuck in the past. It’s no wonder, then, that so many people consider Englands capital to be the greatest city on earth!
If you want to get the very most out of a trip to London, you can’t just head there on a whim. You must have a plan in place because if you don’t, before you know it, your time in the city will be over and you will have only enjoyed a fraction of what it has to offer.
To find some tips on exploring London, read on.
Stay in an ideal location
Where you choose to stay in London will make or break your ability to see and experience everything that the city has to offer. This is because, although they will advertise from a London address, some hotels will not be anywhere near the city’s top attractions.
When it comes to finding the perfect London accommodation, it’s hard to overlook the Hoxton in Holborn. As stated on Mr Hudson Explores, this is a hotel that is ideally located with regards to local bus services and tube stations, meaning it will allow you to get practically everywhere across the city of London with ease. It offers design-led rooms as well, meaning, when you stay here, you don’t have to sacrifice luxury in your bid to stay in an ideal location. Another hotel that you could consider in this instance is The Letter Townhouse, an award-winning Georgian townhouse located in the very heart of the city.
Explore the city by foot
If you want to keep the cost of your London trip down, then you should devote some time to just walking around. It may be a bit of a jaunt, but it is possible to see everything that the city has to offer on foot.
Get up early and head to Westminster, as that will allow you to take in the sights of Westminster Palace, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben (or Elizabeth Tower, as it is officially known), and the London Eye. Once you’re done there, take a walk through St James’s Park towards Buckingham Palace (if you time it right, you might even be able to catch the changing of the guard). As soon as you’ve got your fill of the royal abode, saunter through Green Park and check out all the British landmarks waiting for you on the other side — landmarks that include The Ritz, Piccadilly Circus, Leicester Square, and Trafalgar Square.
Check out some alternative highlights
If you’re not a big fan or massive crowds or hordes or tourists all vying for the optimum selfie opportunity, then you should make sure to check out some of London’s alternative highlights. Three of these highlights include:
- Wilton’s Music Hall
- Regent’s Canal
- Anspach & Hobday Five Points Brewing Company
If you want to get the most out of your next trip to London, make sure to put the exploring tips laid out above into practice.
