A day in London...


With a wealth of culture, history and attractions, London has plenty of options to offer a visitor. The purpose of this blog is to give the reader an idea of what to visit if he only have one day to spend in this amazing city.

Let's start by grabbing an English breakfast tea before taking the tube heading to the Tower of London, the famous fortresses that has served as a royal palace, royal prison, armoury and a even a zoo. Two of the main attractions here are the incredible collection of the Crown Jewels and the Beefeaters.

Now we are heading to Buckingham Palace, this palace serves as both the office and the London residence of Her Majesty the Queen, as well as the administrative headquarters of the Royal Household. It is one of the few royal palaces in the world that it's still in use, therefore you need to check in advance if it's not in use when you plan to visit.


After spending a few hours at the Palace you can stroll down the garden and relax a bit before catching the double decker that will take you to our third destination of the day; Picadilly Circus.

After so much walking it is now time to enjoy lunch at a traditional English Pub, you can't leave London without tasting its famous "fish and chips" There are plenty of pubs to choose from around Picadilly Circus.


After a good meal, it's time to experience "London Eye", the wheel design was used as a metaphor for the end of the 20th century and time turning into the new millennium.
From each capsule you can enjoy breathtaking views of London's landmarks and on a clear day you can see as far as 40 KM in all directions.

Before the day ends, I recommend choosing from the vast list of theater plays and musicals taking place in London.

There will always be something that attracts your attention. It could be Les Miserables, Mamma Mia, Chicago, Wicked, Oliver or The Phantom of the Opera. The options are wide, the difficult task is to decide which one to attend.

Hope you enjoy your day in London!
