In this post, we will recommend to our friends who visit London as tourists (i.e., for a limited number of days) the best places to go and what to avoid. We will also share some insider information that many people—even Londoners—don’t know, which will help them have an experience that only a few enjoy.

As a matter of principle, we recommend that every tourist restrict their museum visits to 5 hours per day. The amount of information you encounter in museums is so vast that you will not be able to retain it all in your memory. We also recommend avoiding public transport while in Central London as the distances are not great and there is no better way to see things and absorb information than by simply walking. Of course, this recommendation applies only to healthy individuals with average fitness. Most people can walk 5 km per day without becoming significantly tired.
