Creator's Key Takeaways

We would recommend at least an 8-hour layover in order to allow yourself enough time to go through customs and baggage claim.

Highly recommend a walking tour, especially if you only have a few hours, because you could just follow them aimlessly and you don't even have to think and they just tell you stuff and it's great.

We should have gotten a quicker bite to eat even at the restaurant at our hotel.

Ironically, we didn't get much sleep during our London layover.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get a direct flight to London if possible.
Allot at least an hour to go through customs.
Stay at a hotel at or near the airport for convenience.
Plan your route ahead of time and possibly pre-book train tickets.
Take a walking tour to see major sites efficiently.
