Things to do in London
There is so much to do in London that it’s impossible to see it all, but it means you’re never out of ideas when it comes to planning a day out. There’s something for everyone from museums to bars, restaurants to theatres, you’re guaranteed a great time in the capital. You might have to start early in order to make the most of your day, especially if you only have limited time in the city, but it’s well worth it so you can squeeze in as much as possible. Here’s our suggestion for a day that hits all the main spots.
Start your day at St. James Park for a nice stroll in one of the many beautiful parks within the city, and head straight to The Tower of London, where you’ll be greeted by the famous London Beefeaters. You can also see the changing of the guard if you get there at 11:00am on particular days. No one knows for sure, but it’s believed that the Beefeaters (officially called Yeoman Wanderers) got their name from being paid in chunks of beef.
