Hello and thank you!

Thank you SO much for purchasing this itinerary! I really hope you love it and I hope it leads you to have an unforgettable time in the best city in the world, through a local's perspective 🇬🇧

A few important points:

🇬🇧 I have this itinerary starting on a Friday (specifically so the Day 3 plans fall on a Sunday). If you arrive on a different day that is absolutely no problem, just re-order it accordingly to make sure the Day 3 plans happen on a Sunday 😊

🇬🇧 Check out the below guide for my hotel recommendations here and in other parts of the city. Disclosure: I earn a small commission when you book through Thatch, at no extra cost to you, which helps support my work 🤍

London hotel recommendations - from a local 🇬🇧🤍

London is full of amazing options that will undoubtedly add to your time and experience here. From bustling central, to the beautiful west side and cool and trendy east side, there are so many interesting places to stay depending on the kind of trip you want to have. These are the kind of places I'd stay if I were visiting London 🛎️ I've included a mix of... ✨ ACCOMMODATION TYPES: modern & Victorian boutiques, residential pub hotels, splurge-worthy gems ✨ LOCATIONS: in the hustle and bustle or quieter areas ✨ PRICE POINTS: moderate to splurge And because London is so well connected thanks to a brilliant public transport system, each of the listed spots are either close to bus and tube lines - and/or are walking distance to amazing sites and scenes. At the time of writing, all of these recommendations have at least a 4 out of 5 rating on Google and at least an 8 out of 10 rating on Booking.com. And that benchmark hasn't led me astray yet 😊
