A Tourist Day in London
I could spend weeks, even months, in London exploring and I feel as though there would still be more to see. London is a good mix of tourist locations as well as lovely local spots. This post will focus mainly on the brilliant tourist spots!
If you are visiting for the day, it is best to plan your day, to ensure you tick off everywhere you wish to see. If arriving from Paddington Station, this is what I would recommend:
- First take a trip to Harrods (even if it is just to window shop!)
- Then make the short walk to Hyde Park, perfect for a picnic.
- From here you can then walk down to Marble Arch, this will be at the end of Oxford Street and if you are feeling ready for a moderate walk I would recommend walking to Piccadilly Circus (if not, there is a tube station at Marble Arch).
- From Piccadilly you will then be a nice easy walk from Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square and Embankment (where the London Eye and Big Ben are located).
I would recommend going up the London Eye, you can get a day and night ticket, which allows you to visit once in the day then again after sunset. Although it is a large tourist attraction with long queue, the view of London is amazing.
My personal additions to a 'touristy' day, would be to head to Covent Garden, it is a lovely area with beautiful decoration (always very 'instagram-worthy'!)
I also enjoy trying to catch a show in London, the last one I watched was Aladdin and I would highly recommend. When in Leicester Square, head to the TCKTS booth to try and catch a show.
