Gabby's Guide to... a London Summer! 🇬🇧

Gabby @packslight
So you're getting ready to head to London... I spent an incredible, fun, movie-magic-worthy 2 weeks in London this summer. I actually visited London once before... and didn't like it 😬😅 But I decided to try again. And, girl... I honestly think I did everything right on this trip. Because this trip made me do a 180º and now London is one of my favorite cities in the world! And with that in mind, here's my 2-week guide for you to live your best London life and fall in love with the city, just like I did! This guide includes 👉 14 days of memorable London activities 👉 10+ food and drink spot recommendations 👉 The must-see and do city tours and attractions 👉 A breakdown of the best London neighborhoods 👉 Transport advice to get you around the city stress-free 🙏🏽 My honest experiences, opinions, and reviews!

The city of London is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city and the perfect destination for a summer city adventure! The rich history oozes from every park and alleyway, and it intertwines seamlessly with its modern-day charm.

With English (obviously) being the main language, access to great public transportation, and extremely diverse boroughs, London is also the ideal first trip for beginner solo female travelers.

Foodie? London has more than 74 Michelin-starred restaurants and a truly global food scene! (the Burmese and Vietnamese food was my favorite).

Adventure junkie? How about scaling the O2 arena for a once-in-a-lifetime sunset view of the city? Or steering a hot tub through Canary Wharf with friends?

Instagram hottie? Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, the British Museum... Iconic landmarks for photos, not to mention the street art, parks, and other Instagrammable corners of the cit

Culture & history buff? Of course, London has everything to offer and more between its museums, landmarks, churches, government buildings, haunted tours, and diverse neighborhoods.

Hi, I’m Gabby 👋🏽 I own Packs Light and am a full-time digital nomad from the United States. I've touched 55+ countries, and I'm a true lover of immersive, cultural, and adventurous travel experiences! 🪂 I was born in California but moved around often thanks to my parents—dad was in the military, mom was a travel agent. Thanks to my nomadic childhood I became confident in navigating this world (even as a young, Black, curly-haired sassy little girl!) At age 17 I went on my first solo trip to backpack Iceland. At age 21 I studied abroad in Dubai, UAE for 9 months. And by age 24 had completely abandoned my budding engineering career to pursue my dream of being a full-time travel influencer! Now I have experience in 50+ countries and 6 continents, have accumulated 800,000 followers, and have a lifetime of tips, trips, stories, and recommendations to share. I love helping others see the world. I love helping people explore past the first page of Google. And I love turning travel bucket lists into exciting stories to impress your friends and family at the dinner table. Follow me, and let me guide you through your next trip!
