Creator's Key Takeaways

I started searching for things to do, what to not do, things to avoid, best tips.

I would definitely make sure you're booking something that is in the area that's the center of London called Central London.

You really need to nail down the things that you think you want to do and then put them into days that are make make it so that you don't have to get on transport very much.

I would not approach it. That's my take on it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Stay in Central London for a short visit.
✓Plan your days to minimize transport time.
✓Use contactless payment instead of Oyster cards.
✓Skip hotel breakfast and explore local cafes.
✓Avoid the hop-on hop-off bus unless you have mobility issues.
