London city walk.
London, I want to simply talk about my thoughts and suggestions! Because it is the New Year period, most of them are traveling with children, so the main thing is to let the children know about the UK and London. Then make a plan according to the number of days of travel! This is the most important thing, you have a purpose! Because we are tourists for just over a week, so what do you want to play and how to play? Some places are optional.
Generally speaking, London is basically at least 2-3 days. So how to walk is more effective, don't go back. Divide London into 2 routes of City of Westminster and City of London!
Don't watch two museums a day, because if you want to listen to professional explanations, it's best to have a museum a day, and a city walk in the morning or afternoon. The best public transportation in London is convenient and fast, saving time. Generally, the first time visitors to the UK, they have to walk around the City of Westminster first. If you want to watch the changing of the guard, you have to walk in the city in the morning (the changing of the guard ceremony is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday in February) The time is at 11 o'clock, it is recommended to arrive near Buckingham Palace around 10:45) If you want to see clearly, it is recommended to wait at the barracks on the side of Birdcage Walk, the Royal Guard will start from here, and there are not many people here!
If you don't want to watch the changing of the guard, then come to Buckingham Palace in the afternoon, go to the British Museum or other museums in the morning, so that there will be relatively fewer people during peak hours. Generally, you will come out of Westminster subway station by subway. I suggest you come out of St James’s Park station. You can start from Westminster Abbey, then Parliament Square, Big Ben-You can go to Westminster Bridge and see the London Eye (⚠️ Bridge thief) Take a photo of the Houses of Parliament)-Walk Whitehall (Prime Minister's Office, Foreign Office, Treasury, Ministry of Defense)-Royal Cavalry Camp-Trafalgar Square-Themall-Buckingham Palace-St Jame Park You can rest and eat in the surrounding hotels at noon. In the afternoon, you can choose a museum. The National Gallery is next to Trafalgar Square.
On the second day, you can visit the British Museum in the morning, and you can walk from Fleet Street to St Paul's Cathedral in the afternoon-Millennium Bridge-Then walk along the river, finally reaching Tower Bridge, London Tower! It is recommended to go to Tower Bridge in the afternoon. If there is sunshine, the afternoon photo looks better without backlight! After arriving at Tower Bridge, you can take a Thames cruise and return to the London Eye.
On the third day, if you like maritime affairs, you can go to Greenwich Observatory-Navy Museum-Old Naval Academy-Finally, you can take a cruise or light rail train back to the city center. If you like museums, you can go to the Natural History Museum or the VA Museum.
Basically, London city walk basically has to be more than 15,000 steps a day
