Number 10. Borough Market 

What is a London itinerary without a visit to the city’s most ancient food market?

With a bustling nature and the several culinary delights available, it is safe to say history and flavours meet here. There are over 100 butchers, fishmongers, and cheese makers. For locals, it’s the normal destination for their weekly grocery shopping, while for travellers, it’s a chance to enjoy some fine British cuisine. 

I wouldn’t miss the chance to discover a whole lot of fresh produce, succulent meats and artisanal treats if I were you.

Number 9. Westminster to Greenwich Sightseeing Thames Cruise in London

You would be making a very good decision by trading the bustling London streets for a serene way of exploring the city’s most iconic sights. 

What am I talking about? Hop aboard a nice boat – with your tour guide, of course, glide along the Thames, and enjoy the views. This leisurely cruise mostly runs from Westminster to Greenwich and you get treated to mesmerising sights like the Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and even the legendary Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. 

You will come out of this experience more relaxed and knowledgeable than when you went in.

Number 8. Harry Potter Tour of Warner Bros. Studio 

Just on the outskirts of London, there is one place you just have to visit – The Warner Bros. This place houses a collection of Harry Potter film sets, costumes, props and all sorts of precious items. 

This is like the dream destination of every Harry Potter fan, right?

Once you’re there, you have all the time you need to wander through the exhibits, capture the perfect picture and browse the gift shop which is filled with lots of amazing things.

Wanna know the best part? If you need a little adventure, you can grab a glass of butterbeer!

It is a worthwhile experience, I promise.

Number 7. Westminster Abbey 

Westminster Abbey is one of the most important Gothic buildings of England. It contains a treasury full of paintings, stained glass, pavements, textiles, books 

It is very famous due to one major reason – it is the place where kings and queens get crowned. Since 1066, this place has been the venue for all royal coronations.

Ready for another cool fact? I’ll indulge you. The Abbey is where 17 monarchs have found their final resting place. So, you discover that it’s not just a fancy church; it is more like a royal history museum.

The Abbey is like the superstar of Gothic architecture in England and it will blow your mind so make sure to check it out next time you are in England.

Number 6. The British Museum

Visiting the British Museum is another must-do if you ever find yourself in London.

It is an extraordinary museum that boasts of some rich history and culture spanning over 2 million years. It houses artefacts from every corner of the globe, including relics from the heart of the Middle East, the Rosetta Stone and artefacts from the depths of Egypt such as the Egyptian Mummies.

The passionate staff at the museum have also left lasting impressions on all visitors. They are a bank of knowledge, always ready to answer your questions or tell you captivating tales about some of the artefacts. Trust me when I tell you their passion is very contagious.

It is an amazing experience and I highly recommend it.

Number 5. The Tower of London

The Tower of London stands proudly beside the iconic Tower Bridge. It has a reputation for being one of London’s most popular attractions and boasts over 1,000 years of history.

Inside the White Tower, the oldest part of the castle, you’ll discover an 11th-century chapel and a collection of Royal Armouries that will transport you back in time. And let’s not forget the legendary ravens that have prevented the castle from collapsing.

Number 4. National Maritime Museum 

If you are in need of a family-friendly activity to do, then you should drop by this Museum. It had several different rooms and lots of activities for kids to enjoy. The staff at the museum are also very knowledgeable, informative and friendly.

Right before I forget, this is the world’s largest Maritime Museum and it doesn’t fall short of expectations at all. It is packed with lots of inspirational stories of exploration at sea, intriguing objects and galleries that will leave you astonished.

For a fee, you even get to stir a ship into port and fire at pirates or see the exact uniform Nelson wore at the Battle of Trafalgar.

Sounds like an adventure, right?

Number 3. Tower Bridge

Inside this magnificent piece of Victorian architecture, there’s something fantastic waiting for you – the Tower Bridge Exhibition. !

How does the idea of exploring how Victorian engineers pulled off this masterpiece sound? Ever wondered how the Bridge goes up? Well, you’ll find out if you visit the bridge.

It doesn’t end there. You can take a stroll on the walkways which are quite high – about 42 metres above the River Thames. The views you get from there are just lovely. Not something you’d wanna miss, buddy.
