What are the best ten things to do, while travelling to London?
London happens to be one of the best tourist destinations, in the world. There, is so much to do that one trip may not suffice!. Oxford Street, or a day trip to Stonehenge., London Zoo (if with kids) and a lot-lot more.
So, without further ado, let’s just talk things to do in London
- Oxford Street– According to me, Oxford Street is the heart of London. A huge spread of roads, boisterous sounds around you, and of course the stores that offer a lot of shopping 😉
2. Piccadilly Circus– Another street of London, which comes pretty close to Oxford Street. The famous fountain, which I’m sure you have seen in many movies is right in the centre of the street. You can find some great cafes, restaurants and you could also do some trinket shopping in the place.
3. Leicester Square– Just a ‘few steps’ ahead of Piccadilly Street is Leicester Square. Although, it is not really a ‘touristy place’ but I had to mention it because of the energy the place yields. Go, and grab an ice-cream if you must, but don’t miss out this place. Also, most of the cinemas in Central London are here.
4. Madame Tussaud’s– or the ‘wax museum’ is a major tourist attraction in London. It has wax statues of many celebrities, political figures and even a couple of fun rides.
5. Hyde Park- Not your typical tourist attraction, but in-case you happen to be in London on Sunday, you should not miss visiting this place. It’s an open-air park, where people can engage in speeches, debates etc.
6. London Eye -I was always very sceptical, about the ‘London Eye’, but, to my surprise, it turned out to be quite fun. It even had its own wifi, so it felt kind of royal viewing the Big Ben, the Tower Bridge from 135 meters up in the air, and being online at the same time ?!
7.Tower Of London– The Tower of London, officially Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress of the Tower of London. It’s a must visit, of course. And, you also do not want to miss out on The Crown Jewels section, to catch a glimpse of the Kohinoor.
8. St. Pauls Cathedral- As the name suggests, it’s a cathedral, and it is indeed beautiful. I do not have pictures, but if you like museums and churches, this place is for you.
9. Museums– I’m not too big on museums, but my children sure, have a knack of it. There are many museums worth visiting, but two must visit are–The Natural History Museum & The British Museum. Sciences museum is also very good.
10. Touring around London- There are lot’s of tours to visit places around the city like The Bath, Stonehenge etc. We finally made it Stonehenge this time, and it was about two hours ride from London.

Well, the high visa fees and the general high costs in London frighten me and discourage me from making a trip there but seeing your post reminded me of what I am missing and should plan a trip there sometime. Scared of the Tower Bridge though as there have been too many terror attacks recently……
I know that was really upsetting!
But life goes on & unfortunately we have no control over the bad things!
Let’s pray for a better and a peaceful world!
Thanks for stopping by my blog 🙂
I have spent a month in London because of work though that was the time it was always raining and gloomy yet the city has it own way of attaching you. I have always wanted to go back to London since then and your post was such a refresher for me.
since you are in so much love with london, i would like to tell u i have written a comic book on London. it showcases landmarks of London in illustration format. would you like to review it. https://www.amazon.in/Samaira-Gang-London-Priyanka-Vermani-ebook/dp/B074TG4D8S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503833254&sr=8-1&keywords=samaira+and+the+gang+in+london+in+books
Lovely photostory! I was captivated by the first picture, London eye at night. Although I have never visited London, it is on my wishlist.
Thank you for refreshing my memories of London again.
I have been fascinated with London this Harry potter books…. I am yet to visit it and seeing it through your eyes was refreshing Z
I love such travel posts that take me away to some far off beautiful lands that I might not get to visit in my life! Lovely pictures, Zainab! Thank you for taking me on a tour to London!
Thanks Zainab for nominating me.I am participating right away.I loved reading about London trip.I really want to visit the London eye
Oh this is fabulous. Such awesome sights. One day i hope to go there. I love the idea of open speeches in Hyde Park – reminds of the Roman squares of olden times. Oh and I saw a whole documentary on Stonehenge and how it must have been made.
Not been to Loondon yet but its on my list for sure! Loved the pics! 🙂
🙂
I have heard so much about oxford street from my friends. London sounds like a great place to go on vacation. Would love to visit the London Eye.
London is second home for me and I too have written about it. I feel one can keep returning to this place and never get tired! It’s truly a magical city!
The Stonehenge has been on my wishlist of places to see for a very long time. I now feel like I need to plan a trip to the UK soon.
Loved reading the blog word by word, thank you for sharing such an amazing piece and honestly saying Madame Tussaud’ is a spot at the top of my priority list
Wow very helpful and informative article for all those who are planning to visit UK. You described very well .
London has been a place I have always been fascinated with. We have London plans next year and I look forward to your list of this post.
Hyde Park is definitely not a typical park as I have experienced. It’s very lively and always running hot with great sessions. I thnk I missed visiting few places in London and would definitely cover them next time. Thanks for this beautiful article. N
