London, like a local

Don't miss

  • Big Ben & Houses of Parliament: You have to
  • Tower Bridge: Walk across it at sunset
  • South Bank walk: Thames path from Westminster to Tower Bridge — best free walk in London
  • Camden Market: Food, music, chaos — proper London energy

Where to eat

  • Borough Market: Best food market in London. Go hungry.
  • Dishoom: Bombay-inspired. Queue is worth it.
  • Flat Iron: £12 steak. Unreasonably good for the price.

Do this

  • Black cab across London at night: See the city lit up
  • Sunday roast in a pub: The most British thing you can do
  • A show on the West End: World-class theatre, often cheaper than Broadway

Local tips

  • Get an Oyster card or use contactless: single fares are capped daily
  • Avoid Oxford Street on Saturdays: it's hell
  • Free museums: British Museum, Tate Modern, V&A, Natural History. All world-class.
  • Pubs close at 11pm unless they have a late licence
