Another Side Of Weekends in London, financial district ghost town

London is one of the best cities in the world and is a massive tourist hotspot, but unfortunately that means huge crowds and queues! One of my favourite places to wander I the City of London, which on the weekend is completely empty - with all of the offices closed you get to explore this area without seeing other people. I love this area for its architecture, contrasts and viewpoints - you can see historical churches right next to towering glass skyscrapers. You can head to Liverpool Street station, bank station, Chancery Lane or Aldgate and start walking. Landmarks - you can see St Paul’s, Walkie Talkie Building, Bank of England and many more. And all this without lots of people in your photos! For food and drink most places are closed but you can find enough options for coffee, cakes and burgers - all of which are very quiet due to it being the weekend! If the weather is good you can walk all the way to Covent Garden in under an hour, or south bank if you cross one of the bridges. #citydaytours #london #100waysoftravel #architect #cityscape #explore
