What Visitors Say

Real reviews from people who explored London with our tips

Sarah Mitchell

Sydney, Australia

"We almost skipped the Tower but so glad we didn't. The Crown Jewels were incredible and the Yeoman Warder tour was genuinely funny. Booking ahead saved us a 40-minute queue."

Tower of London

David Chen

Toronto, Canada

"Best food market I've ever been to. Arrived early on a Saturday and it was manageable — by noon it was heaving. The scotch eggs from Ginger Pig are absolutely worth the hype."

Borough Market

Emma Johansson

Stockholm, Sweden

"Our kids talked about the dinosaur gallery for weeks afterwards. Free entry and world-class exhibits — it's honestly one of the best museums anywhere. Go first thing to beat the school groups."

Natural History Museum

Marco Rossi

Milan, Italy

"Brilliant atmosphere and so much variety. The street food stalls near the lock are the highlight. It does get very crowded after lunch so we'd recommend going in the morning."

Camden Market

Rachel Thompson

New York, USA

"Kew was the surprise highlight of our whole trip. The Temperate House is jaw-dropping and the treetop walkway is great fun. Allow a full day — there's way more to see than you'd expect."

Kew Gardens

James O'Brien

Dublin, Ireland

"Absolutely stunning building with so much history packed in. The audio guide is excellent and really brings it to life. Book the first slot of the day and you'll have the nave almost to yourself."

Westminster Abbey

Priya Nair

Mumbai, India

"You could easily spend three full days here and still not see everything. The Egyptian and Greek galleries are extraordinary. Free entry makes it even better — we went back twice."

British Museum

Tom & Lucy Williams

Bristol, UK

"Worth every penny, even for adults who aren't massive Potter fans. The sets and props are incredible and the butterbeer is surprisingly good. Book well in advance — slots sell out fast."

Common Questions About Visiting London

Everything you need to know before your trip

London is packed with free attractions. The British Museum, Natural History Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern and Victoria & Albert Museum are all free to enter.

The London Underground (Tube) is the fastest way to get around. Use a contactless card or Oyster card for the best fares. Buses are also a great way to see the city.

Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) offer pleasant weather and fewer crowds. Summer is peak tourist season. Winter has Christmas markets and festive events.

Three to four days is enough to cover the major landmarks, a couple of museums and a market or two. A full week lets you explore at a relaxed pace, add a day trip and discover quieter neighbourhoods beyond the tourist trail.

London is one of the safest major cities in Europe. Petty pickpocketing can happen in crowded tourist spots and on the Tube, so keep valuables secure. Stick to well-lit areas at night and use licensed black cabs or ride apps for late journeys.

Budget around £80–120 per person per day for mid-range travel, covering accommodation, food, transport and a paid attraction or two. Many of London's best museums are free, which helps keep costs down.

For popular paid attractions like the Tower of London, London Eye and Buckingham Palace State Rooms, booking online in advance is strongly recommended — you'll often save money and skip the queue. Free museums don't require booking but timed entry slots can apply during busy periods.

It depends on your itinerary. The London Pass covers 80+ attractions and can save money if you plan to visit several paid sites in a short time. Compare the pass price against the individual tickets for the attractions you actually want to see before buying.

London weather is unpredictable year-round, so layers and a waterproof jacket are essential. Comfortable walking shoes are a must — you'll cover more ground on foot than you'd expect. There's no dress code for attractions, though some upmarket restaurants and theatres expect smart casual.
