London Trip Planner
Global capital of history, theater, and neighborhoods.
London packs royal landmarks, world-class free museums, West End theater, and a village-like set of neighborhoods into one very walkable (and very ridable) city. The classics take a few days; the markets and boroughs reward more.
Best time to visit London
May–September for the warmest, longest days. Spring and early autumn are pleasant and less crowded; December brings festive lights.
