  • 7 Days in London: The Perfect Way to Spend a Week in London
    There is so much to do in London, it can be hard to narrow it down into just one week. I've put together a 7-day itinerary itinerary of some of my favourite spots. Walk along the South Bank, stop at the London Eye, and cross the Millennium Bridge. Have lunch at Borough Market and visit the Tower of London. Take a boat ride to Greenwich and see the Royal Observatory at sunset. Take a Royal London walking tour, go shopping or visit a museum. Have brunch in Little Venice, go to Camden Market, and enjoy afternoon tea. Check out Portobello Road Market, Kensington Palace, and Kensington Gardens. End the day in SoHo with dinner and a West End show. Visit Hampstead Heath and tour Highgate Cemetery.
    I've included some activity lists for each day so you can screenshot them and use them for reference. I hope this helps you have an amazing time in London!
    This is part 3 of my London Guide series. Be sure to check out the first two parts and stay tuned for the fourth, and final, part.

    So sorry, I completely messed up and forgot Borough Market is closed Mondays! I still recommend going, but just in a different day if you can fit it in!

    This itinerary is so well done. I watched a lot of videos on the topic and this one has to be among the best! Thank you so much! I would consider making other itineraries for different durations. I think people going for 3 days might not click on a 7 day one, even tough of course it would still be useful to them. But you know, people are lazy :)

    1 Remember to pack shoes that are comfortable to walk in!
    2 A good place to see a view of Saint Paul's Cathedral is on Ludgate - one of the roads leading down from St Paul's towards the West. Walk down it and turn left into Pilgrim Street, walk along this and look West to see Saint Bride's church (another Wren church), which has a tiered spire.

    Wife and I are doing London last week of September. Many thanks for suggestions and the visuals, it helps. we hadn't planned on Greenwich, but now it's on the list. Liberty for sure, Portobello road on Saturday plus any antique stores, I think maybe on New Bond St. Wife is a big junker. What about Spitalfields Market? Worth it?

    • @emily_meadows
      @emily_meadows  Місяць тому +1

      I do like Spitalfields, but you’ll find a lot of the same stuff there as the other markets. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in the area, but I wouldn’t recommend going out of your way.

    Hello! Thank you for your video, I will travel to London for the third time in April so I've been looking for new stuff to visit and your video helped a lot. Both times I went there was only for 3 days so I didn't eat at restaurants or anywhere really mainly because I never know if we have to tip or not in England. I've been searching quite a few times on the internet but some people say you have to and some people say you don't so I hope you can answer my question

    • @emily_meadows
      @emily_meadows  5 місяців тому

      Most of the time a service charge is already included in the bill. If it isn’t you can ask to add a tip, but there’s no obligation.

    Hi Emily-going in July. Is this a good time to visit?
    If we follow this 7 day itinerary, where do you recommend staying? What area? We’re a family of 5, two teenagers & 1 elementary school child. We are not a fan of Airb&b’s…4 star accommodation at least.

    • @emily_meadows
      @emily_meadows  5 місяців тому

      July is a great time to visit. Some areas I really like that are quite central are Mayfair, Marylebone, Notting Hill, and Chelsea. But honestly as long as you stay within a 10 minute walk of a tube station you can get anywhere in London very quickly.
