Activities
- Go to the famous National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. It features famous paintings like Botticelli’s “Venus and Mars” and Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers”. It has more than 2300 works on display ranging from the 13th to the 19th century. Make sure and block more than one day for this large museum, and don’t forget a map while walking around.
- Go for a fashionable night out to see a show in the West End theater district. With some of the best talent of locals and the more famous, it is of the highest quality in the U.K. Afterwards, grab a drink at one of the many hotspots in the vibrant nightlife atmosphere.
Family Friendly
- Take the kids on a walking tour of all the main sites in London. See Big Ben, the Tower Bridge, and Westminster Abbey. Just a short walk away at Buckingham Palace, kids will love watching the Changing of the Guard ceremony.
- Those who are a little more daring in the family will love riding the London Eye on the River Thames. At 443 feet, it is Europe’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel- often mistakenly referred to as a ferris wheel. Sit back and enjoy some of the best views of famous landmarks in London. Pro-tip: Hop on for a ride at night to see London lit up.
