We recommend taking the London Underground and walking between locations to save time and experience the city like a local. A one-day Travelcard costs £13.50 and provides unlimited travel on all London public transportation. Travel times between locations are estimated based on walking at a moderate pace.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Tower of London or St. Paul's Cathedral. If you have less time, skip Borough Market and spend more time at other locations. Ensure that you check opening hours and book tickets in advance, especially for Westminster Abbey and The Globe Theatre, to avoid lines and disappointment.
