Planning a trip to London: how not to waste half your holiday on the Tube

London distances are large and the temptation to “do everything” is larger still — geographic grouping matters as much as the attraction list.

Divide by areas, not by a must-see list

Westminster, Soho and Covent Garden can share a day; Notting Hill and Kensington another; Camden and the north another. The exact mix depends on your hotel and interests.

Markets and shopping need timing

A great market at the wrong hour can be closed or overcrowded. Check opening days, hours and seasonal events before you lock the day.

A museum or musical is an anchor

A timed ticket becomes the day’s centre; build nearby plans around it. If you have an evening show, leave time for dinner and a calm journey.

London with families and teenagers

Mix classics with shopping, food, a market or an interactive experience. A day of only museums can feel long even when the places are excellent.
