One Week London Itinerary | Ultimate Guide
Charlotte Tricoire
A week's vacation in London? It's a great idea! After all, why settle for a weekend in the British capital when you can spend 7 days? The only downside is that you'll have to find something to do. But in a city as busy as London, that shouldn't be a problem.
Lacking inspiration? Well, I'll be nice and share my ultimate itinerary for a week in London. Breathtaking views over London, Burlesque or Mamma Mia evenings, incredible street food markets and other must-see tourist attractions, find out right away what's in store for your stay in the UK. Don't forget, this itinerary isn't set in stone (and thank goodness for that, because your feet could get sore)! Use it for inspiration, and remix it to your own liking!

Visiting London Day 1: Explore Central London
Since you've just arrived in London, I'm going to start by showing you some of the classics of central London, with a few surprises thrown in for good measure! And in case you ever doubted that this article was about London, just read the names of some of the tourist attractions on this first day to be sure... (I didn't do it on purpose, I promise).
MORNING: Tower of London and Tower Bridge
Tower of London
@charlottetricoire
Everyone's heard of the Tower of London, so much so, in fact, that it was voted one of London's top 10 must-see activities.
But what is the Tower of London? It's a fortress on the banks of the River Thames, once a prison where most of the captives were executed. It's a great historical tour if you want to familiarize yourself with London's history.

If you don't feel like starting your trip with stories of executions (which I can totally understand), you can also visit the Tower Bridge.
Tower Bridge
@charlottetricoire
Start by taking a selfie in front of it, just to let your community know that you're "in London Baby". You can then enter and cross the glass footbridge, 42 meters above the ground, visit the Victorian engine rooms and discover the history of the monument thanks the included audio guide.

LUNCH BREAK
Borough Market
@charlottetricoire
If you finish your morning at Tower Bridge, just walk 15 minutes to Borough Market. Open every day except Monday, Borough Market is a veritable London institution, with stalls serving specialities from all over the world, and bound to be a treat, often for less than £10.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Charlotte Tricoire
Foodie, digital nomad, and travel blogger, since everyone always asks: 'do you have any recommendations for [insert destination]?', I figured, why not regroup my personal favs into travel guides?
Originally from Paris, as a Digital Nomad, I've been on the move quite a bit these last few years! I've lived in London, Madrid, Kraków, Melbourne, Wellington, Austin, and now Valencia. I'm not pretending to be an expert in each city, but as an explorer, I like to find hidden gems that I'm happy to share with you! To be honest, I aslo created a wonderful network of friends across the globe, whom I've asked for their "local favorites" to complete my guides.
Hope you enjoy!
