There is no time to rest in London; you must stroll through Trafalgar Square, take a tour of the lace vaults in Westminster Abbey, and find No. 10 Downing Street, home of the British Prime Minister. Visit Buckingham Palace and see the city from the London Eye.

Get in the spirit of the city

For a taste of the city's business side, head to the City of London, home to the financial center, Tower 42, The Gherkin and other towering buildings. Don't forget to take a break for a traditional five o'clock tea and milk.

Where to relax

Take a break in Hyde Park - you can hire a bike, lounge on the grass or feed the hand squirrels. If you're traveling with kids, take them to King's Cross Station, Platform 9 ¾ of the magical world of Harry Potter.

Non-Tourist London.

Want to feel like a local? Instead of a restaurant lunch, head to Borough Market for great curries, paella and English wine. For a break from sightseeing, stroll along Regent's Canal, known as Little Venice.

Music and Markets

Listen to quality live music from jazz to hard rock in Camden. For shopping and souvenirs, do what Londoners do: hit the street markets. Vintage goods are sold at Camden Market, while rare antiques are sold at Portobello Market.

And four other things to do in London:

  • take a ride on a red double-decker bus;
  • watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace;
  • stand at the zero meridian in Greenwich;
  • stroll along the south bank of the Thames.
