London: the city that has anything and everything you could possibly want in a vibrant, world-class capital. Your only real problem is working out what you can miss. With over 170 museums, 3,000 parks, 3,500 pubs and an ever-changing number of restaurants, there’s almost too much to see, do and eat—even for a life-long Londoner.
Truly, the city is too large, and too rich in options, for you to get to it all in one visit; you’ll have to make some hard choices. Which incredible food or clothing-market to browse? Tate Modern or the British Museum? Where should you pick for a perfect, full-English breakfast? Where’s the best afternoon tea? How do you pick from all the abundant pubs? And don’t get us started here on the best restaurants. Thankfully, our locally led list of the best things to do in London is here to help you decide—just don’t try to do it all in one day.
