London - History & Art

London - History & Art

Here is the list with all the classic Must Do’s in London - museums, religious sites, art galleries, theatres and even cinemas. I would definitely recommend sightseeing London by boat, as well. A cruise on the Thames can easily make your whole experience a great one! You can use the Oyster Card (valid for any means of transportation in London) to travel in between objectives by boat: from Westminster pier to Greenwich pier for example. So, using the Oyster Card on the Thames Clippers River Bus services: only touch in with your card on the yellow card reader when asked to do so by a member of staff and remember to touch out again at the end of your journey.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hi! 🤗 I’m Laura - born and grown nearby the Romanian coasts of the Black Sea, in Constanta (a city with great history which I invite you all to visit and enjoy). This city and its surroundings, with beautiful, wide beaches have always drawn lots of tourists, thus… I have been working in the hospitality industry for quite a while now. Of course, I enjoy more being a tourist myself 😁(or perhaps…should I say “a traveler”?). In the past few years I have travelled across Europe (and most of its capitals and big cities) and found out many special places which I longed to share with others (it would have been a pity not being able to do so nowadays). So, thanks to Thatch I can provide some lists to help me and my friends out along our journeys - and, hopefully, other Thatchers as well. P.S.1 I am always open to suggestions or feedback on how to improve the info that I’m sharing. P.S.2 I am passionate about my shopping, therefore all my guides shall always include shopping venues that mainly sell authentic brands - bespoke souvenirs are what we want to take home with us, right? P.S.3 My guides shall always include many venues/places because I like options. Personally, I wouldn’t cross half a city just to get to a specific restaurant…after a long day, in particular, I would rather find a good spot close to the hotel that I’m staying at (or somewhere in that area). Moreover, different trips in the same city could target a totally different area and wouldn’t it be nice to explore its best by knowing all the variety of services/products available around?
