Things to do in London
London, a city with timeless charm and a seamless blend of history, culture, and contemporary life, offers an exceptional travel experience.
From iconic landmarks like the majestic Tower of London, Big Ben, the Parliament, the British Museum, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace to the vibrant neighborhoods and bustling streets, there is a diverse array of outstanding things to do in London.
Each neighborhood, from Covent Garden's historic cobblestone streets to the eclectic vibrancy of Shoreditch, unfolds a unique narrative. Enjoy the vibrant West End’s entertainment venues and relax in the green expanses of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, where the tranquility of nature provides a welcome respite from the urban buzz. Embrace the spirit of the city by wandering through its streets, and take advantage of London’s efficient public transport and iconic red double-decker buses to explore. Discover Greenwich, an outstanding area in southeast London, known for its world-class attractions, rich history, vast parks and much more – including the popular 02 entertainment district. Catch an outstanding concert or elite sporting event at the cutting edge 02 Arena.
London's culinary scene is a rich tapestry of flavors, ranging from traditional pubs to trendy eateries in cosmopolitan neighborhoods. Indulge in classic fish and chips or embark on a culinary adventure sampling dishes from around the globe. For a romantic evening, explore the enchanting streets of Notting Hill and savor an outstanding dinner in one of the city’s cozy, candlelit restaurants.
London’s West End's theaters add a touch of glamour to the city, showcasing world-class performances and musicals, including delightful musicals to entertain adults and children alike. The city's markets, from Borough Market to Portobello Road Market, offer a sensory delight with their aromas, colors, and eclectic array of goods.
There are many things to do in London with kids, from the magical wonderland of Harry Potter at the Warner Bros. Studio Tour, to the interactive exhibits at the Science Museum and the dazzle of the Crown Jewels. Don’t miss a ride on the iconic London Eye that provides breathtaking views of the cityscape. For sport fans, catch a professional football (a/k/a soccer) match at one of the city’s stadiums, or go to TOCA Social in the 02 complex for an interactive football and dining experience.
Fall in London paints the city in warm hues, and winter transforms London into a festive wonderland, with Christmas markets, dazzling light displays, and ice-skating rinks at iconic locations like Somerset House. At the end of the winter, London comes alive with blooming nature as well as visitors. Enjoy pleasant temperatures during the spring and take advantage of the long days of sunlight throughout the summer.
