Looking back, it was the best idea of the whole trip. You can get from Millennium Bridge to the Tower in ten minutes, and you never have to worry about how much the Tube costs today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But something else surprised us too. <strong>A lot of the best things London offers don&#8217;t cost a single pound.<\/strong> The <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/british-museum\/\">British Museum<\/a>, the National Gallery, Tate Modern, a stroll through the parks. We were even shown around the Harry Potter film locations by a guide you simply tipped at the end whatever you thought was fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;ve put together <strong>56 things to see and do in London<\/strong> \u2014 from Big Ben and Camden to corners tourists don&#8217;t usually reach. Plus a practical section: when to go, how to get there, how much transport really costs today, and where to stay so you don&#8217;t spend half your holiday riding the Tube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure

This is the fastest possible route.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wherever you set off from, the routes stay essentially the same \u2014 your main target on the continent is France either way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>From France you then have two options:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>ferry<\/strong> from the ports of Calais or Dunkirk makes for a pretty pleasant change of pace. You&#8217;ll bob along the waves for about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on exactly where you set sail from. Trust us, it pays to book tickets well in advance so you&#8217;re not left waiting on the shore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>Eurotunnel<\/strong> runs from Calais in France to Folkestone in England.

Bear in mind the <strong>journey takes around 20 hours<\/strong>, so it&#8217;s usually done overnight \u2014 we&#8217;d recommend bringing a comfy travel pillow. A return ticket from Central Europe typically costs from around \u20ac60 to \u20ac120, more in peak season. Coaches pick up passengers from a wide range of cities across the continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"By_Train_to_London\"><\/span>By Train to London<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Coming from Central Europe by train takes more than 17 hours with plenty of changes.

You simply have to see this opulent &#8220;city within a city&#8221; with your own eyes \u2014 and you can eat pretty well here too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a6c0b7b60c4b&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a6c0b7b60c4b\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1440\" height=\"1800\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods.jpg\" alt=\"The fa\u00e7ade of the Harrods department store in Knightsbridge\" class=\"wp-image-300587\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods.jpg 1440w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods-700x875.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods-696x870.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/londyn-harrods-1392x1740.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1440px) 100vw, 1440px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Harrods (Photo: Dietmar Rabich, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Visit_in_London_The_Best_Museums\"><\/span>What to Visit in London: The Best Museums<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"20_The_British_Museum\"><\/span>20.

Don&#8217;t fancy planning everything yourself? Check out <strong>GetYourGuide<\/strong> and let someone else handle the hassle. We&#8217;d especially recommend exploring these places:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Windsor:<\/strong> Hop on a train and in just an hour you&#8217;re stepping off in a town dominated by the iconic Windsor Castle.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Oxford:<\/strong> The famous university city is also just an hour from London by train. It&#8217;ll win you over with its beautiful historic architecture and famous colleges, led by Christ Church College, which is exactly where the Harry Potter filmmakers took their inspiration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stonehenge and Salisbury<\/strong>: This famous prehistoric monument hardly needs an introduction. It lies roughly two hours from London, and it&#8217;s best combined with the nearby town of Salisbury. You&#8217;ll find all the practical info on admission and transport in our separate guide, <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/stonehenge-tickets-guide\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/stonehenge\/\">Stonehenge: admission and tips for the area<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cambridge<\/strong>: About an hour&#8217;s journey from London you&#8217;ll come across this picturesque university city. Wander the historic colleges, led by the famous King&#8217;s College, and don&#8217;t miss punting along the River Cam on a traditional flat-bottomed boat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Brighton<\/strong>: As soon as you crave some sea air, hop on a train and in an hour you&#8217;re stepping off in Brighton. The town will charm you with its colourful Lanes and the iconic Brighton Pier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Cotswolds<\/strong>: This gorgeous rural region lies about two hours&#8217; drive from London and is famous for its enchanting villages with honey-coloured stone cottages. Take a trip to Castle Combe, say, or to Bibury, which is often said to be the most beautiful village in all of England.<\/li>\n\n\n<li><strong>Harry Potter Studio (Warner Bros.):<\/strong> At the studios in Leavesden, where all eight films were made, the heart of every wizard will leap. Here you can walk through the Great Hall, peek into Diagon Alley and admire the detailed model of Hogwarts.

History washes over you here, as coronations and royal funerals have been held here for centuries. On the way, don&#8217;t skip a stop at Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the afternoon, cross the river to the <strong>London Eye<\/strong>, from where you&#8217;ll have the city laid out before you. In the evening go and sit in Covent Garden, which is always buzzing thanks to the restaurants, bars and playful street performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Save day two for East London.<\/strong> Start at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/tower-of-london-tickets-tips\/\">Tower of London<\/a><\/strong> with the Crown Jewels, <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/tower-bridge\/\">Tower Bridge<\/a>, and take a walk along the South Bank, where you can grab a coffee with a view of the Thames. Along the way pop into the Tate Modern gallery with its world-class art, and take a look at Shakespeare&#8217;s Elizabethan-era Globe Theatre. In the afternoon, wander over to Borough Market for great food from all over the world, or hop on a boat trip along the Thames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>On day three, slip into the British Museum with its stunning collections from all over the world.<\/strong> An alternative is the Natural History Museum or the Victoria and Albert Museum, after which you can easily catch your breath on the grass in Hyde Park or Regent&#8217;s Park. If you love a bohemian atmosphere, head to the Notting Hill district to explore the colourful houses and tucked-away shops. In the evening, air out your wallet on Oxford Street, or drop into one of the restaurants and bars in lively Soho.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"london\" lang=\"en\" --><!-- LKM_GYG_CARD end

In Hyde Park you&#8217;ll find the Serpentine Lake, while from Observatory Hill in Greenwich Park you&#8217;ll have the city laid out before you. The <strong>Sky Garden \u2013 a high-rise building with a beautiful view over London, which lets you in free with a booking in advance<\/strong> \u2013 also offers an amazing spectacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you enjoy street art, head to the Shoreditch district, where you&#8217;ll find famous murals on the walls, including pieces by Banksy.<\/strong> You can then soak up a great bohemian atmosphere full of fashion and art stalls at nearby Camden Market. For live music, go to Covent Garden, where local street musicians take care of the entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a6c0b7b6a843&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a6c0b7b6a843\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"630\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/co-videt-v-londyne.jpg\" alt=\"What to see in London\" class=\"wp-image-92130\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/co-videt-v-londyne.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/co-videt-v-londyne-300x158.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/co-videt-v-londyne-700x368.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/co-videt-v-londyne-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/co-videt-v-londyne-696x365.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What to see in London<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"London_Off-the-Beaten-Track_Places\"><\/span>London: Off-the-Beaten-Track Places<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most tourists often miss <strong>St Dunstan in the East<\/strong> \u2013 a romantic garden hidden in the ruins of a bombed-out church, where climbing plants creep up the walls and there&#8217;s no admission fee. A short walk from Covent Garden you&#8217;ll come across <strong>Neal&#8217;s Yard<\/strong>, a tiny photogenic courtyard bursting with all the colours of the rainbow. And for lovers of new things, in 2026 a brand-new <strong>London Museum<\/strong> opens in Smithfield (a former meat market, by the way), walking you through the city&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you want to escape the crowds with cameras, even London hides places with a far more authentic atmosphere. <strong>Start, say, in the Hackney district<\/strong>, which will charm you with its independent caf\u00e9s, galleries and busy local markets, led by Broadway Market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Walthamstow area hides <strong>God&#8217;s Own Junkyard<\/strong>, a crazy gallery of neon signs and lights you won&#8217;t forget in a hurry. Architecture enthusiasts, meanwhile, will be delighted by the Barbican Centre \u2013 a massive brutalist structure functioning as a cultural centre, where alongside concert halls and galleries you&#8217;ll even find a surprising conservatory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re missing some greenery, head to <strong>Epping Forest<\/strong>, an amazingly sprawling forest park in the north-east of London. For a slightly more mysterious atmosphere, visit the ancient <strong>Highgate Cemetery<\/strong>, where famous figures rest, including Karl Marx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a slightly unconventional London experience, <strong>visit Little Venice<\/strong>. In this picturesque area woven through with canals, you&#8217;ll take in colourful houseboats and enjoy an unexpectedly peaceful atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for an unusual experience, try exploring London&#8217;s underground secrets in the form of abandoned Tube stations. The <strong>Old Operating Theatre Museum<\/strong> is also worth a visit, where the faintly chilling history of medicine washes over you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Watch_Football_in_London\"><\/span>Where to Watch Football in London<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can&#8217;t go to a game of Quidditch here, sadly, but England does have <strong>brilliant football teams<\/strong>.

Some places only let you in with a special password, or you have to know exactly which buzzer to press.
