London - Places I can personally recommend

The classic London scene! You have the London eye, big ben, the houses of parliament, the river Thames and shops and restaurants everywhere. Make sure you check out the 2nd hand book store under the bridge

Big Ben is actually the bell inside the clocktower and not the clocktower itself. The best viewing spot is either from Embankment or Westminster Bridge.

I usually end up coming across Trafalgar Square rather than aiming for it as it is quite near to most of the main attractions. This is a great place for a little break to stop and sit down while the busy city continues with its day.

You can book to go inside Buckingham Palace on selected occasions when the King is not around however viewing from the gates is just as exciting. If you time it right you may see the changing of the guards, however make sure you do not get in their way because they will not change their formation to go around you. If you would like to book to go inside Buckingham Palace you will need to have a look at least a month in advance to make sure you are available to go on the dates you are visiting.

A quiet and colourful area tucked away down a side street. There are lovely cafes and little shops hidden away in a vibrant corner. If you are passing this is a must see as it is beautiful

I got a takeaway pizza from a nearby restaurant and sat on the steps of the Seven Dials. You can go at any time of the day however I found around dinner time which was when we arrived it felt calmer and everyone was happy and enjoying the evening.

The grounds are well kept and very accessible. You can also watch sport at most of the venues, as events are being run on most days, such as cycling and hockey. It is a large area so I recommend hiring one of the Santander bikes for a couple of hours to get round the park. This was such a great place to see, it had never been on my to do list for London but I got a hotel for a couple of nights right next to it so of course we had to look around.
