When you think of London, what comes to mind? Towering Big Ben? Fish and chips by the Thames? Or maybe endless parties, beaches, and year-round sunshine?
But here’s the thing: London isn’t just another city to tick off your bucket list. It’s an experience, a personality, and sometimes, a bit of a comedy show—especially when you’re trying to figure out which side of the road to look at when crossing.
Snap the Classic at Big Ben & Westminster
You can’t come to London and not selfie with Big Ben—it’s basically the law. Fun fact: Big Ben is actually the bell, not the tower. But don’t worry, no one in London will judge you (they’ve heard it all before).
Pro tip: Go at sunset—the golden glow makes your Instagram pop.
Explore the Tower of London
This isn’t just a tourist attraction—it’s a history lesson with a twist of dark humor. From royal scandals to ghost stories, the Tower of London has it all. Oh, and the ravens? Legend says if they leave, the kingdom falls. So maybe don’t feed them chips.
Stroll Across Tower Bridge
It looks like a fairytale castle that also doubles as a bridge. Walk across, watch the boats below, and if you’re lucky, see the bridge lift up for ships. Warning: avoid mid-bridge photoshoots if you value your safety and dignity.
Get Lost in the British Museum
It’s free. It’s massive. And yes, it’s where you’ll probably spend three hours staring at mummies while pretending you’re not lost. Even if history isn’t your thing, the sheer scale makes it one of the top things to do in London.
Take a Ride on the London Eye
Think of it as a giant Ferris wheel for grown-ups. The views are stunning, especially at night. And if you’re afraid of heights—well, just focus on spotting tiny red buses instead of looking down.
Chill in Hyde Park
Need a break from sightseeing? Hyde Park is your reset button. Grab a picnic, rent a paddle boat, or just lie down and watch the clouds (or pigeons that look suspiciously like they’re plotting world domination).
Wrapping It Up
London isn’t just about ticking landmarks off a list—it’s about the little moments. The buskers at Covent Garden, the drizzle that suddenly becomes a downpour, the endless cups of tea that magically fix everything.
