Day 1 - 02 May, Saturday
Reach hotel by 11, leave luggage
Portobello Road
Notting Hill
Freshen up in hotel (check in 3pm)
5:00 - 9:00 Soho and Covent Garden
Roam around and dinner
We’re keeping this day simple as our flight is quite long so we’ll mostly be jet lagged
Day 2 - 03 May, Sunday
Tower of London
Late lunch around that area
Tower Bridge
Spitalfields Market
Skipping Borough Market as we have few diet restrictions and it seems quite expensive so I don’t think we’ll enjoy it
Day 3 - 04 May, Monday
Buckingham Palace - changing of guards Westminster Abbey
Big Ben
London Eye (if no rain)
Spend time at South Bank
Day 4 - 05 May, Tuesday
Shopping
Exploring Neighbourhoods
Few parks maybe? - Kyoto Garden, Hyde Park
We’re keeping our last day free to get some shopping done and just exploring on foot. Although I think we will also visit the British Museum on this day.
Is this a solid itinerary? I think it ticks off the major tourist attractions. Although I did want to ride once on the Thames clipper so kind of confused when to do that
Also if anyone has any suggestions for shopping in and around these areas do let us know!! We love finding unique trinkets and souvenirs
Another question - for Tower of London should I book the tickets in advance? And what else can we do in that area?
