London Tourist Attractions & Activities

Savvy travellers agree: London is a globetrotter’s dream. The famous musing of Samuel Johnson is true: “When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life; for there is in London all that life can afford.” Indeed, both men and women will find that London fits their fancy and fulfills all of their expectations. When you’ve explored the best things to do in Melbourne and the top attractions in Sydney, a trip to the capital of all things monarchy is in order. From historic buildings to art museums and palatial estates, you’ll never run out of things to see and do in London.

Fun Things to Do in London

London sightseeing is eclectic and exciting. Each borough boasts its own charms, and everything is connected by the famous Underground, otherwise simply known as “the Tube”. Take a spin on the London Eye, which reveals aerial panoramic views of everything London has to offer. Once you’re back on solid ground, march on to the Tower of London and see the Crown Jewels (along with a few ancient loos). Another can’t-miss experience in London is the stoic changing of the guards at Buckingham Palace, which is just as surreal as you might imagine.

London is nothing if not a lover of the arts, which is why the West End lights up with neon bulbs and the smiling faces of theatre-goers every night. Get front row seats to your favourite musical, and then spend your evening stealing the scene at a neighbourhood pub. Indulge your inner art critic with a tour of the National Gallery, and you just might get inspired to paint a mural on the wall of your apartment back home. During the spring and summer, a picnic in Hyde Park will cure any worry, and a slow walk along the River Thames is just the place to daydream yourself into your next big idea.

The allure of London calls, and it’s easy to book your holiday on Expedia.com.au. In addition to great deals on activities, you can bundle your flight and hotel with just a few clicks. Before you know it, you’ll be up and away toward the best London tourist attractions. Just be certain to bring fashions fitting for an afternoon tea and an appetite for fish and chips. Don’t delay—book your holiday to London now and get ready for the getaway of a lifetime.
