If you’re taking a weekend to explore London, you’re going to have a great time! But are you wondering what to do? Here we have some things you should definitely include in your itinerary for the weekend to have the best time:
Go to the Theatre — The theatre in London is an absolute must. When I first went, I didn’t realise there were multiple theatres and that each one was dedicated to the show it was doing. This means if you decide to see Wicked, like I did, you’ll go to a theatre that is totally themed around Wicked. It’s an amazing experience and one you’ll never forget. Even sceptics and people who don’t think they’ll all enjoy it that much will love it.
Head to a Museum/Gallery — Museums and galleries are great for everyone. They are so interesting, even if you don’t know all that much about art. Many of them are free, so you really have no excuse not to go and enjoy some culture for nothing. You might learn a thing or two and broaden your horizons.
Explore Markets — The markets in London are second to none. They are so unique, individual and interesting. You have lots to choose from, from Camden to Broadway. Take some money for souvenirs as you’re bound to find something totally unique.
Take the Tube — Taking the tube is one of the must-dos in London! It’s definitely a good way to see London efficiently. People may moan about it, but it does its job most of the time and is something everybody should experience. With an Oyster card, you can make sure you’re getting the cheapest rates each and every time too.
See the City from Way Up High — London has a glorious skyline, so make sure you go to see the city from way up high. How? You can do this with the London or the Shard, whatever your preference. Seeing it at night can be really special too. It really is something to marvel at!
Eat at a Luxury Restaurant — There are plenty of luxury restaurants to eat at in London, but my favorite are those in Covent Garden. You’re bound to find something perfect for your tastes here. Treat yourself and you won’t regret it!
People Watch at Trafalgar Square — Trafalgar Square is an awesome place to relax and people watch. You also have things like Nelson’s column and galleries nearby.
Go to the Park — London is full of beautiful parks. In fact, it has more green space than any other city in the world! Take a good book and a picnic and relax. You could even get some exercise in!
These are just a few things you could do on your weekend in London. You can tailor your weekend to suit you. The place is so diverse, there’s really no limit to the things you can do. Make sure you have lots of fun and live in the moment. Leave your thoughts below. See you next time!
