From January to December

You won't be short of options for something to see or do in London. Your main problem will be trying to fit everything in, regardless of how long you are staying there. London has a dazzling array of sights, attractions and events to suit all ages, inclinations and tastes.

Marvel at the Royal splendour of Buckingham Palace; explore the magnificent Victoria and Albert Museum, or steep yourself in the history of Westminster Abbey. One way of not missing some the most interesting sites in London is to take a guided tour. The most popular guided tour is by double-decker bus, which is is a great way to see all of the famous sights of London. You can usually buy a ticket that lasts for a whole day, meaning that you can hop off and hop back on the bus whenever you want. Another form of guided tour is by car, or minibus. Groups, usually of up to 6 people, can hire an expert guide who will also drive them around London for a day showing them the sights.

If you do not want to do a guided tour, but you do want to see more of London than you would on the Underground, another great way of sightseeing in London is by boat. The Central London Hop-on Hop-off service runs from Westminster and the Embankment to Tower Bridge in the East. You can buy a single ticket and then pay a little extra to hop off and on the boat all day. Whatever your method of sightseeing in London, be sure to make some plans first, because there is just so much to see in London.
