Planning your visit to London
London is a collection of very different neighbourhoods, and the Underground is what stitches them together. Westminster holds Parliament, the Abbey and Big Ben; the City is the financial district with St Paul’s and the Tower of London; and the West End is theatres and shopping. Camden, Shoreditch and Notting Hill each have their own character and markets.
The major museums — British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, Natural History — are free to enter, which is unusual in Europe, though special exhibitions are ticketed. The Tower of London and the London Eye do charge, and are worth booking ahead. For transport, just tap a contactless bank card at the readers; no need to buy tickets. Rain arrives unpredictably in every season, so pack a jacket rather than an umbrella.
