Top Attractions
(15)Stonehenge
Legendary neolithic monument made using stones transported from Wales & built for unknown purposes.
Tower Bridge
We decided on the Tower Bridge tour. Purchased tickets in advance. We walked along the south bank of the Thames from the London Bridge Station which offered scenic views of Tower Bridge. The direction
The British Museum
Absolutely wonderful place to visit. We only had very limited time in London but this was somewhere we wanted to visit as we wanted to keep our costs low. The museum is free to enter but donations ar
Hyde Park
The Hyde Park located in Central London is one of the finest places to visit for any tourist or resident of the city. It is a huge park spread over several acres of land. It has open spaces where you
Tower of London
Great day out. Went on a weekend and not too busy outside of peak season. Crown Jewels clearly the highlight, and didn’t disappoint - displays nicely spaced out, not too much content to overload youn
Big Ben
Absolutely love London. And Big Ben is a must see / visit. It has been beautifully restored and looks grand as it should. Right next to the houses of Parliament and across from Westminster Abbey just
London Eye
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing experience! The London Eye offers some of the best views in the city—360° panoramas of the Thames, Big Ben, and the skyline. The ride is smooth and lasts long enough to really enjoy the
Buckingham Palace
Highly recommend the palace tour as the palace is quite stunning on the inside. Do buy the tickets in advance and show up right in time for your entry because there’s no wait then! The gift shop also
Victoria and Albert Museum
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is one of the most impressive museums I’ve ever visited. It’s a celebration of art, design, and human creativity from across the world. The building itself is stunning, and every gallery feels thoughtfully arranged. You can easily spend hours exploring everything from fashion and textiles to sculpture, jewellery, photography, and furniture. One of the highlights is the fashion collection, which shows how style has evolved over centuries. The sculpture ga

Camden Market
Absolutely loved my first visit here. So much to see and do. The shops on offer are well stocked and so friendly. The food offerings are mouth watering. I thought it was all rather well priced and more importantly clean and safe. If you haven't been make a plan. Simply a must visit destination.

Trafalgar Square
Trafalgar Square is a lively and iconic landmark in the heart of London, known for its impressive architecture, historic monuments, and vibrant atmosphere. With the majestic Nelson’s Column, beautiful fountains, and the National Gallery overlooking the square, it’s a perfect spot for sightseeing and people watching. The area is always buzzing with energy, cultural events, and street performers, making it a must-visit destination that truly reflects the spirit of London.

Borough Market
Fantastic selection of bakes, cheeses, and all kinds of delicious food! It can get touristy and crowded on some days, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying the experience. My favorite was the pork sausage roll from one of the stalls - absolutely worth it. The lavender drink was refreshing (though a bit of daylight robbery 😅), and both the risotto and gelato were really good too.

Sky Garden
I visited Sky Garden in London recently and thought it was a cool spot, especially if you're into city views. The place sits right on top of the “Walkie-Talkie” building and gives you some amazing views of London, you can see the Thames, The Shard, Tower Bridge… all of it. Entry is totally free, but you do need to book a ticket in advance. They release tickets every Monday at 10am, and they get snapped up pretty fast especially for weekends. Weekdays are a lot easier to book and way less crowde

Tate Modern
0Loved its industrial charm — the raw concrete walls and vast open halls create such a unique atmosphere. The sculpture and painting exhibitions were truly captivating. Highly recommend a visit!

Harrods
A must-visit store and an experience in itself! This world-famous department store is just as stunning inside as you would expect. It’s always buzzing with tourists and curious visitors eager to see what’s inside. While it sells an impressive range of luxury goods at eye-watering prices, there are also plenty of items that are more affordable. It’s a fantastic place to pick up Christmas treats like chocolates and biscuits in beautiful gift packaging. Yes, even those are slightly pricier than o

Dishoom King's Cross
I’m in London solo for a work trip. I arrived around 6 and there was a line of about 40 people. The staff were handing out chai to people waiting in line and taking their details to book them in. The people in front of me were told it would be around an hour wait. After a 24 hour flight from Sydney, I was too keen on that, but when I told them it was just me, they offered for me to come straight in to eat at the bar. I sat down and was greeted by Stefan who was super charismatic, made me feel c
Dishoom Covent Garden
Long story short…. Extraordinary experience! 100% my type of a place, a very good style put into every detail, food is excellent- modern take on Indian food, great ideas like WRESTLER’S NAAN ROLL ❤️🔥 The casual but classy vibe of the place, and the vibe of people working there made our night! The service we got from Piotrek, Marta and Ania was THE VERY BEST customer service I’ve probably ever experienced - hospitality at its best! I’d be happy to work there 😂 Seriously! Definitely coming back A
Dishoom Carnaby
Very atmospheric and so tasty. We made reservations abt 10 days in advance and only lunch times were still available. The dishes were very delicious and the drinks were also so good 😊. It was such a nice vibe inside with very cute interior and an open kitchen below. The service was so friendly and efficient although it was quite busy. Would love to come here again.
Selfridges
A visit to the iconic Selfridges on Oxford Street offers a definitive London retail experience. Situated at the heart of the city's premier shopping district near Bond Street, the department store lives up to its prestigious reputation. The selection of goods is exceptional, featuring a comprehensive and well-curated range that spans from luxury designer fashion to accessible high-street labels. A notable highlight is the dedicated Jellycat section, which presents an extensive and charmingly di
Liberty London
This place was INCREDIBLE. Beautiful store. The artistic displays of dishes was probably my favorite thing but the store is known for it's fabulous fabric and it was pretty spectacular. Spent quite a bit of time here and absolutely adores the aesthetics.
Mercato Mayfair
An amazing place for having a meal. A beautiful church turn to a food market with different kind of foods/drinks. We had a tasty pizza and a delicious basque cheesecake. The vide of the place really good, we loved it. We visited on Saturday evening so, it was busy but still managed to to sit and enjoy our little time. 😇
Seven Dials Market
I always like the Buzzy atmosphere in this place. We’ve been through a few times before, sometimes just to grab a beer and hang out other times to grab some food. One of the most recent trip I went into Bleeker Street Burger and all I can say is WOW!! My initial reaction when the burger arrived wasn’t positive. It looked decidedly undone and a bit leaky, but that all changed when I took a first bite. Tasty, succulent and full of flavour. This was how a burger should be and at sensible prices
Duck & Waffle
Well, I’m not good with heights and this restaurant is a like million meters above London but I was actually loving it. The view was just awesome. Having this view whilst having your breakfast is just a very special feeling. The service was ace and the place itself is quite cool. We love it. Definitely a place to check out in the big smoke.

The Cumberland Hotel, London
Fantastic 5-Night Stay! Perfect Location & Great Comfort. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My working group of 30 peoples stayed here for 5 nights and had an absolutely wonderful experience. This is a solid 5-star stay for us, and we were impressed from start to finish.

Circolo Popolare
Just wow! As soon as you enter the restaurant the decor impresses. So pretty everywhere you look. The staff were all super lovely & friendly. I really enjoyed the burrata, a virgin pina colada & a very impressive slice of lemon meringue pie. Will definitely be back to try some more of the menu soon.

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge
Absolutely loved our stay here! We travelled as a family, and it was the perfect choice. The location couldn’t be more ideal — right in the heart of London, with breathtaking views of Big Ben and the London Eye, and just steps away from all the main attractions. The rooms are beautifully designed, spotless, and surprisingly peaceful despite being in such a central spot. The restaurant in the lobby is fantastic, with a lovely atmosphere — perfect for a relaxing dinner or evening drink. The staff

Dishoom Shoreditch
Wonderful food, venue and staff! We came with our 3 month old, was promptly seated with quick access to a baby change toilet. We had a great waitress who answered any questions we had, made recommendations and helped resolve a minor food 'issue' quickly. Plenty of staff on hand for all tables. Decor and vibe is lovely in here, chatted to other people on our long table too who were interested in the little one. Food was excellent, as was the drink. We had a non alcoholic cocktail and a crumble s

Royal National Hotel
Stayed one night in the hotel. Ideal location just a short walk from Oxford Street. Hotel is lovely, rooms are slightly dated but don’t let that put you off. Rooms were spotless and the beds so comfortable. Bit noisy at night with music but we were so tired it didn’t bother us. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The view was absolutely beautiful, and the location was perfect — within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and shops. Having a Tube station nearby was a huge plus since it made getting around so easy. The staff were friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the small convenience store in the lobby for essentials. There were plenty of elevators, and the breakfast (available for an additional charge) was plentiful and delicious. We loved our s

Great store merchandise from all kinds of fandoms like anime, Star Wars, marvel and gaming with loads of figures and Funko pops (as much as people love to hate them). I was surprised to see merchandise from Japan like acrylic stands and mystery badges especially at reasonable prices.

His Majesty's Theatre
I can’t even explain how incredible this experience was it’s beyond amazing. Every cent spent was absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend choosing the Royal Circle seats. The performance was beautiful, and you could truly feel every emotion from the characters. It was my partner’s first time watching a musical, and he completely fell in love with it. Every actor and actress was stunning and exceptionally talented. Christine felt like she had stepped right out of the book, and the Phantom’s
Covent Garden
Spent the evening walking through Covent Garden. The atmosphere was lively and full of energy, with the architecture looking incredible under the night lights. The Christmas decorations are starting to appear which adds another dimension. You can’t help but start to get excited for the festive season especially how well London gets decked out. It’s really a beautiful location here. There are a mix of high end and quality shops, market, restaurants, and live street entertainment.
Fortnum & Mason
To call this a shop would be an understatement; it's a veritable treasure trove that feels like a curated museum. Its vast collection ranges from diverse teas and exquisite tea sets to fine tableware and artisan chocolates. A particular highlight for me was trying marzipan for the first time—a delightful first! Each of the five floors inspires wonder, making the experience well worth your time.

The LEGO® Store Leicester Square
LOVE THIS STORE and MARK! I tried leaving a review through the survey/receipt but it wouldn’t work. They have such a huge variety of Lego products and the staff is super knowledgeable and helpful. Mark really helped us make the best of choosing our products.

The London Palladium
We went to see Bjorn Again (14th Oct 25) we were sitting in the Royal circle seats Row H. It was a brilliant night everyone singing 🎶 and dancing 💃 the ABBA songs they were singing we enjoyed, especially Dancing Queen, Mamma Mia and Thank you for the music the crowd was epic, it was a special year they were celebrating and they sung Erasure Little respect. Great night great atmosphere great singing and dancing I rate 10/10 I would definitely come again!! 👌🏻

Hamleys
Hamleys is definitely a kid's heaven. It was a pleasure for us, as adults to take a walk around, we accidentally walked in it and we had a great experience. Different floors with different toys and collections: Disney, Marvel, Harry Potter, Lego, Hot Wheels and of course Paddington beara and souvenirs. The last floor has some sweets area: chocolate candy etc and there are also washrooms. The prices are fair. There are staff members with demonstrations of some toys. Also friendly staff and spots

M&M'S London
Not really M&M fans, but still found this shop amazing with its huge variety of merchandise. The colorful displays make it perfect for photos, though it was quite crowded. Didn’t end up buying anything since the prices were a bit steep, but it was still fun just browsing around.

Primark
Large product range Because these stores on Oxford St are quite big, shoppers like that there is a wide variety — clothing of many styles, accessories, homeware, etc. It’s popular for “bargain-shopping” because there’s often something for everyone.

John Lewis & Partners
You find everything from mid brand and some luxe brands here. From bany -kids to adults. Homeware, interior design, beauty & 🎄🤶 products are always something expecting of the year.
