Sip in the city’s iconic structures
Be it the big Ben, the Buckingham Place, the Coco-Cola London Eye or even savouring the sun in the Royal parks. There is nothing like gawking around the city, taking in the spectacular city views and the glorious architecture. Almost like reliving history through your own eyes.

3. Fearless Food Adventures
We all love to eat, but Londoners LOVE their food! Tuck into London’s numerous street side fare or treat yourself to the one of many Michelin starred restaurants. Do visit Camden market and borough market if you are a fugitive foodie. Both of them are London’s renowned food and drink market selling local produce.
Tick the box of experiencing an afternoon tea ( often referred to as “high tea”) . Definitely one treat that shouldn’t be missed when you visit London. I checked out the afternoon at the Roseberry at Mandarin Hotel, Hyde Park. The best part? It is set out in the heart of Knightsbridge, Th extravagance and elegance is one to note, but the variety of teas, scones and sandwiches are absolutely indulgent. The tea master guides you through your time there through their finest selection of teas from around the globe. Triple thumbs up for this brilliant experience.

4. Drama! Drama! Drama!
Did you know that London has over 230 theatres ?!?! Watch a musical in the West End or head to the Globe Theatre to see Shakespeare’s plays performed. There are many other local performances, so free up some space in your itinerary to catch a play, it is truly phenomenal.
5. Take a day trip to Cotswold
An hour and a half away from London, this is the perfect non-touristy spot to get away from the hustle-bustle of the city side. Explore quintessentially English villages of honey-coloured stone; take in splendid, lively market towns; visit some of the country’s greatest palaces, castles and country houses. Sounds lovely, doesn’t it?
6. Shop until you drop
The world’s most forward fashion destination, London is a shopper’s paradise: from flea markets and vintage shops to luxury department stores like Selfridges and Harrods, the options are endless. And please visit Primark, the oxford street one has the biggest ones, they have the best deals.
