The home of her Majesty the Queen, tea and fun filled Pubs.

Let me tell you, 5 days is nowhere enough time to see London for all its beauty. So here's the best way to experience London on budgeted time.

The tube is the easiest and most efficient way of navigating your way around the city, with trains arriving every 3-6 minutes. Add 20 Euro to start off with on your oyster card as its hard to find reload booths at certain stations.

For sightseeing we highly recommend doing a Hop-on Hop-off Tour on a Double Decker red bus. To cover all 3 routes all you pay is 20 euro and you can use the voucher over 2 days. As we were staying at the Plaza on The River club and residence, London, they organised our tour and had tickets ready for us which included a discount. On this tour you will have the opportunity to see and stop as most of the famous landmarks in London as well as other smaller attractions.

The Hop-on Hop-off tour is perfect during the winter and rainy months. Providing warmth and cover from the weather as well as providing information about the sites you may have not otherwise known.
