Tips

If you’d like to extend your stay, consider adding a day in Greenwich to visit the Royal Observatory and the historic Cutty Sark, or a trip to the vibrant markets of Camden for alternative shopping and food. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine the morning of Day 2 by skipping St. Paul’s and focusing on the British Museum, then enjoy a relaxed evening walk along the Thames instead of the Southbank dinner.
