Whether in London only for three days or you're just feeling a bit overwhelmed with planning your first few days here, I'm gonna tell you some of the top things to do. London classics! I think even London visitors that want to get more off the beaten path will want to at least pass by some of London's most iconic buildings and attractions. I mean we've got the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, Tower of London, Tower Bridge.
There are lots that you've probably seen over the years, so it's cool to at least go and like walk past them but if you're really keen to explore more, then I would get tickets and go inside of course.
Afternoon tea, I love afternoon tea! England is the birthplace of it, so it's definitely something you should experience while you're here. You would usually do afternoon tea between about and p.m.
And I wouldn't recommend having lunch before or an early dinner after because you will get really filled up. Afternoon tea consists of well: your choice of tea of course, and then you usually have three tiers of food. At the bottom you'll have little finger sandwiches, then you'll have scones with cream and jam in the middle and at the top, you usually have a nice selection of cute little sweet treats.
So yeah, book yourself into an afternoon tea and by the way this video is part of my '3 days in London' series and this is to celebrate the launch of my '3 days in London' itinerary which I will talk a little bit more about in a bit.
If you're into museums London's got lots of them and a lot of them are free even better. If you like modern art we've got the Tate Modern if you're into older art, as you could tell I'm not really good art very much, but if you like older pieces then the National Gallery is a good option, there's even a cartoon Museum if you're into that stuff.
London's food markets are amazing! Of course the most famous is the Borough Market, which has been around for over 400 years, it's still a great place to visit, we also have old Spitalfields market, which not only has a ton of really great food options, but also lots of vendors selling London things clothing, leather goods, antiques. The London skyline is beautiful and iconic, and I definitely think that you should try to go get a view of it from above while you're here in London for a few days.
Of course, we have really popular options like the London Eye and the view from The Shard, or if you want something that's cheaper or free, but of course not as high, there's a viewing platform at the top of the Tate Modern as well as the sky garden but it's really hard to get reservations there so make sure you book in advance. You should try to visit a park as well. I think when you get here you're gonna be surprised at just how green of a city London is.
A favorite of visitors is st. James's Park because it's near to Buckingham Palace and the Westminster area. But that people often miss is the Victoria Tower gardens but it's a great place to just relax for a bit or also to get a really nice photo along the Thames and looking at the London Eye and Westminster Bridge. Shopping! If you want to pick up some bits and pieces from London before you head back then you can go and do some shopping there are lots of options here.
A personal favorite of mine for some quirky cool London souvenirs is a shop called 'We Built The City' in Carnaby. Or you can visit one of the city's most famous department stores with my favorites being: Selfridges and Fortnum and Mason's.
