Where to visit in London
Start with the Thames, then mix historic neighbourhoods like Bloomsbury with creative hubs such as Shoreditch and the South Bank.
If this is your first time in London, anchor your plans around the Thames. You can cover a huge amount of the skyline just by walking the river between Westminster, the South Bank, and Tower Bridge.
For daytime wandering, Bloomsbury gives you leafy garden squares, independent bookshops, and the British Museum. In the evening, head east to Shoreditch for street art, food markets, and late-night bars.
The key is to group areas that are close together on the Tube map so you spend more time exploring and less time changing lines.
