Containing some of the best world heritage sites, we give you cues on how to go about this constantly evolving city, with a very rich cultural heritage. From iconic buildings, landmarks to attractions, here’s your low down.
I personally believe that the best way to see a place is getting as local as possible. Which means take the public transport, eat local and interact with locals, these things surely give you a truer, more authentic experience of the city. Sure, conventional ways like tours and sightseeing are more feasible, but a blend of both will serve you the best!
So plan a trip to London and make your vacation planning full proof.
Having said this, I suggest on your first day in London, instead of rushing straight to the attractions, why not hang out at local cafes, walk the streets, stroll at the many parks?! A good English breakfast, in the authentic English land would be a great start to your trip. The Regency Café, an art deco style cafe in Regency Street has been a favorite local over decades. A stroll at the Hyde Park, would be an ideal thing to do after a stuffing breakfast. Following that by a pint of local ale at the Edinboro Castle, a beer garden at just 15 minutes from the park, will set you in the right state for you London venture. London’s fine dining scene is one-of-its-kind and you don’t want to miss it! If you are keen on getting it’s taste head to any of these best restaurants in London – The Ledbury, Dabbous, The Manor, Dinings or Palomar amongst others.
