London Itinerary 7 Days – Are you ready for the perfect week?
Introduction
London is a magnificent city. There is no doubt about it. London has old charm and it is also modern. There is so much to see that even one week isn’t quite enough for everything, but it will give you a very good impression.
This amazing city has everything for everyone: history buffs, art lovers, foodies, walkers. Just everyone.
In this post, I want to give you an example itinerary on how to spend your 7 days in London and help you plan, what to look out for, and what not to miss. There are many things to do in London, so be prepared to have a full-on week.
I’ll leave the food side to you as the tastes are so different, and there are loads of restaurants in London to choose from.
Tips & Tricks
London Pass
London offers many attractions, and you might not believe it but a lot of them are even free – well, at least when it comes to museums.
However, there are lots of places to visit that you need a ticket for. You have the potential to save some money if you buy the ‘London Pass’. A digital ticket that gives you access to over 80 attractions using the credits that are included.
You can buy the London Pass for 1 day up to 10 days. For this itinerary, I recommend buying the 4-day London Pass which costs £149 per adult.
The app that comes with the pass also allows you to book the attractions in advance. Do make use of this as queues on the day can get quite long, or there is a good chance, that an attraction is already fully booked.
London Travel
The tube system in London is a great way to get around the city. Be aware that it can get quite crowded during rush hour when people go to their jobs and return. At other times, it’s usually not too bad.
You can buy a ‘ Visitor Oyster Card’ to use the tube system for £5, but if you have a contactless credit or debit card, then that’s actually not necessary. You can just tab your card on the card reader and it will work just like an Oyster Card. This saves you the hassle of buying a card and loading money on it.
The daily cap will still be considered, so you won’t pay more than when using an Oyster Card.
Payment in London
London, and the UK in general, are very much a cashless country. There is hardly a place where you can’t pay by card, and some places don’t even take cash anymore. So don’t take out too much cash when you arrive, you probably won’t need it.
Instead use your credit card, preferably one, that doesn’t charge you a foreign transaction fee for every transaction. This way you don’t have to spend the leftover cash or worry about where the next ATM is when you run out.
Okay, then let’s start with our 7-day London itinerary.
Day 1 – Historic Heart of London
Morning – Buckingham Palace and Changing of the Guards
Closest Tube Station: St James’s Park Palace
Price: Free OR £30 per adult
What to do on the first day in London? I’m sure many want to have a feel of being near the royals.
When you picture the Royals you might see them waving from a big balcony. If that’s the case, then Buckingham Palace is that place.
Home of the monarch, and still a working royal palace. Pretty impressive. And even though the King works from there, people can take tours.
You can see the White Drawing Room, the Throne Room, the Ballroom, the Music Room, and a big staircase – I mean the Grand Staircase.
If you do want to see all this, then you need to book an advanced ticket which costs £30.
During the Winter months, the public tours are not taking place. You can book exclusive guided tours which cost £95 per person – not cheap, I know.
You can still Buckingham Palace from the outside which is free, as is the Changing of the Guards.
The Changing of the Guards usually happens at 11 a.m. Check out this website to see which guards you’ll be able to see on what days.
Afternoon – Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, and Big Ben
Closest Tube Station: Westminster Station
Prices: Westminster Abbey £27 per adult (included in London Pass), Houses of Parliament Tour £25 per adult, Big Ben Tour £25 per adult
A short stroll from Buckingham Palace is a hub of tourist spots. We have Westminster Abbey, the Houses of Parliament, and Big Ben within a few steps from each other. It’s quite a sight.
Let’s start with Westminster Abbey. This Royal church has recently been in the news for the coronation of King Charles III. And it is definitely a sight to behold. Already magnificent from the outside, the inside is equally stunning.
Try to book your ticket in advance as they do sell out.
The Houses of Parliament are also an imposing sight. And you can take tours to see what’s going on and if the politicians are actually working.
They offer tours of the Palace of Westminster and the Speaker’s House. For the Speaker’s House, they only offer tours with multimedia guides, the Palace also has guided tours if that’s more your thing. Check out their website for more details.
And last but not least, Big Ben. To book Big Ben tours, you have to go to the same website as the Houses of Parliament. The tours do sell out quickly though, so be aware.
The Big Ben tour takes you up a narrow 334-step stairwell. It is quite noisy, but ear defenders will be provided.
This tour might not be if you’re afraid of heights as the tour goes up to a height of 62 metres.
Fun Fact: Buckingham Palace and the area around Big Ben is actually part of the City of Westminster, but is included in the Greater London Area.
Evening – Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden
Closest Tube Station: Charing Cross
Price: free
After so many old buildings, you’ll be glad to know you can see even more! The next stop is Trafalgar Square, named after the Battle of Trafalgar. It’s home to the National Gallery which is a stunning building.
If you have time and fancy to see some art, then you can enter the gallery for free.
You’ll also find Nelson’s Column at Trafalgar Square and some unusual traffic lights. These traffic lights celebrate same-sex relationships.
After Trafalgar Square, you can stroll a little bit further to Covent Garden. It’s a shopping and entertainment hub with some beautiful buildings.
They have independent stores and lovely restaurants, so you’ll definitely find something there to do.
If you’re in London during Christmas, then you’re able to see the beautiful Christmas lights here as well.
Fun Fact: The movie ‘Last Christmas’ was set at Covent Garden.
Day 2 – From Crowns to Cathedrals and Classics
Morning – Tower of London and Tower Bridge
Closest Tube Station: Tower Hill
Price: £33.60 per adult (included in London Pass), Tower Bridge £12.30 per adult (included in London Pass)
If you want to see some incredible jewellery, then you’re at the right place at the Tower of London.
This is the place where the Crown Jewels are located if the Royals aren’t wearing them that day – which happens pretty rarely, but it happens.
The Tower of London is right next to the Tower Bridge which can’t be overlooked.
The entrance is to the right of the Tower if you’re looking towards the River Thames. If you didn’t use the London Pass or booked in advance, then the ticket counter is opposite of the Tower of London next to a souvenir and fish & chip shop.
Once you’re inside the Tower, you don’t only have the Crown Jewels to look at, you can also marvel at the Ravens, yes, actual ravens. It is said that when the ravens leave, the kingdom will fall. So, the keepers are making sure there are always a few ravens around.
You can also visit the White Tower which is home to the Royal Armouries. Showcasing, you guessed it, arms and armours.
And then there are the Crown Jewels. Be aware that you can’t really spend hours there, and that armed guards are in the area.
For the opening times, check the Tower of London’s website as they do vary to an extent.
After your visit to the Tower of London, you should cross Tower Bridge. You can go to the top section and look down onto the actual bridge. The glass floors are not really my thing, but it might be for you.
Afternoon – St. Paul’s Cathedral
Closest Tube Station: St. Paul’s
Price: £20.50 per adult (advance online) / £23 (walk-up on the day) (included in London Pass)
What a stunning cathedral St. Paul’s Cathedral is. Every time I enter, I’m wowed all over again.
It is such a beautiful cathedral that I can’t get enough of. I bought an annual pass previously and went there every time I visited London.
The ticket gives you entry to the Cathedral, the Crypt, and the Dome. There are quite a few steps to the dome (just over 500 if you go all the way up). I managed to do it even though I’m afraid of heights. I did keep back to the wall however as to not fall to my death.
You do get some amazing views from the Dome. Of the inside of the Cathedral as well as outside. I definitely recommend going up.
Fun Fact: Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral are part of the City of London. If you would only take the City of London it would be a very small area, even smaller than the City of Westminster.
You should also go to Millennium Bridge. The view of St Paul’s from the Bridge is amazing.
Evening – Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre Show
If you want to have a somewhat unusual theatre experience, then the Shakespeare’s Globe can help you with that.
Their shows only run from April to October, so do check their website before you set your heart on a show here. However, they do offer a daily tour of the theatre all year round. These are held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. depending on the time of year, so you might have to shuffle this day around a bit.
What makes this location so unique is, that it’s round, thus explaining the name ‘Globe’, and it doesn’t have a proper roof, i.e., a closed roof. The central year is open-air, meaning it can be quite chilly there.
Furthermore, they have galleries with seats and standing spaces in front of the stage. Be aware if you don’t want to stand for the whole show, what type of seat you book.
Fun Fact: The Globe is the only thatched roof house in London since the Great Fire of London where they all were abolished and they had to get special permission.
Day 3 – Historic Markets and Hipster Vibes
No offence to hipsters, but I’m sure they agree that there are quite a few at the markets I’m going to suggest to you for Day 3.
Prepare yourself to be so incredibly full in the evening that you can’t move any more.
Morning – Borough Market
Closest Tube Station: London Bridge
Price: free
Borough Market, London’s self-proclaimed premier food market, was established in 1756, but it doesn’t look any older than 1860 😀
It’s a great market if you want to buy fresh food and it’s free to enter. They also have many food stalls, so you’ll definitely find something for breakfast here.
If you love cheese, then you’re at the right place here. So many cheeses to choose from. It’s incredible.
They are closed on Mondays. Their opening times are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. They are already open at 9 a.m. on Saturdays.
Afternoon – A stroll in Shoreditch and Brick Lane
Closest Tube Station: Old Street
Price: free
After that filling breakfast, a bit of a walk might not be a bad idea. A great area to walk around is Shoreditch. It is an arty area where you’ll find plenty of street art and independent shops.
It’s definitely worth a visit and only a 30-minute walk from Borough Market.
If you walk a bit further, you can also have a quick look at Brick Lane. It used to be a spot for Jack the Ripper murders, now it’s a melting pot of cultures and ethnicities.
You’ll again find lots of places to eat if you’re already hungry again.
Evening – Camden Market
Closest Tube Station: Camden Town
Price: free
Yes, you saw that right, another market! I know I’m crazy, but after this day, you can definitely contrast and compare.
Camden Market is also a bit different from Borough Market. There are a lot more permanent stores and food stalls (OMG, so many different and delicious food stalls to choose from – trust me, it’s hard to choose only one or two).
Camden itself is also somewhat eclectic but that’s part of its charm.
Other than eating food, you can also do a few things at Camden Market. If you like Tomb Raider and always wanted to prove yourself, then Tomb Raider: The Life Experience is for you.
It’s an interactive and immersive experience where you help Lara Croft. You can finally become the hero you always knew you were. This takes about 75 minutes to 2 hours and prices start from £33 per adult.
You can also play mini golf or go to an underground fun fair. Super cool. Entrance is free, you just pay for the rides you want to go on.
It’s a cashless site. You will have to download the app and buy coins online. Super futuristic.
One of the most popular food items at Camden Market is the Sunday Roast Burrito. I had to wait in line for about 40 minutes until I had it in my hands. Not sure it was quite worth it, but it’s delicious and a sight to see.
Day 4 – Just a bit outside Central London
Morning – Greenwich
Closest Tube Station: I actually recommend going by Uberboat to Greenwich Pier
Price: Royal Observatory £18 per adult, Cutty Sark £18 per adult (both included in London Pass)
One of my favourite areas of London is Greenwich. It is just so beautiful and so many things to see.
Greenwich is home to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, the Royal Observatory, the Cutty Sark (a ship), the National Maritime Museum, the Old Royal Naval College, Greenwich Park, and so much more.
You can definitely spend a whole day here. But for the morning, I would suggest, visiting Greenwich Park and enjoying the view over London’s skyline.
While you’re there, you can visit the Greenwich Royal Observatory. They have the Great Equatorial Telescope for you to look at. Or you can stand on the Prime Meridian Line which is the line for Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Yep, that’s the place where that comes from.
If you’re more into boats, then you can also visit the Cutty Sark. You can explore the main deck, walk underneath the ship, or even take part in the Rig Climbing challenge (that’s nothing for peeps who don’t like heights like me).
I would also suggest you go through the tunnel, the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, under the River Thames. It links Greenwich with Millwall. The entrance is the small building with the green top.
There is also the London Cable Car, also known as the Dangleway, that brings you across the River Thames to the Royal Victoria Docks. A one-way ticket costs £6 per adult.
Afternoon – Canary Wharf
Closest Tube Station: Canary Wharf
Price: free
If you want to see people in suits, then you’re at the right place at Canary Wharf, London’s financial district.
It’s already impressive just walking through the high-rises there and having a great view of the opposite side of London.
You can also visit Crossrail Place Roof Garden. As the name says, it’s a garden, but beautifully arranged along the Meridian line and free to enter.
If a museum tickles your fancy, then Canary Wharf offers the Museum of London Docklands. Showcasing the history of the Docklands. It used to be a very poor area which has now been transformed.
Evening – West End Show
Closest Tube Station: Leicester Square
Price: depends
I’m not sure it is as famous as Broadway, but the West End is definitely an entertainment address in its own right. There are so many incredible shows and musicals being shown here.
You could spend your week here alone.
Here are some of the most famous theatres in the West End:
- London Palladium
- Dominion Theatre
- Apollo Theatre
- Palace Theatre
- And lots more
And there are shows for every taste. If you like musicals you can get your fix, comedies yep, and if you need a bit of a dramatic show, then the West End got you covered as well.
Here are a few shows that have been long-running:
- The Mousetrap
- Les Misérables
- The Phantom Of The Opera
- Mamma Mia
If you’re up for a show, then you can book your tickets here: https://officiallondontheatre.com/tkts/
And Leicester Square and the West End should be visited anyway, even if you don’t go to a show.
Day 5 – Shopping and Views
Morning – Oxford Street
Closest Tube Station: Bond Street
Price: free (window shopping)
There is a good chance that you also came to London for a little bit of shopping. The perfect address for that is Oxford Street. You can start the day by browsing Oxford Street.
Oxford Street is home to an incredible number of stores; some independent, some chains. If you’re looking for something to buy, then you’ll find it here, suitable for most wallet sizes.
Afternoon – Tate Modern (Observation Deck)
Closest Tube Station: Cannon Street
Price: free
London is home to many museums and all of them are worth a visit if you have the time. However, one museum, the Tate Modern, is worth a visit for an additional reason than “just” their exhibitions on modern art.
The museum has the Tate Modern Blavatnik Building Viewing Level, meaning there is an observation with views of St Paul’s Cathedral free of charge. Which is just amazing.
There’s also a café up there if you fancy to enjoy the view with a hot beverage.
Evening – London Eye and River Cruise
Closest Tube Station: Waterloo
Price: £46 per adult (combi ticket) (River Cruise: £14) (London Eye: £33)
What would be a visit to London without going on the London Eye and be totally scared? Exactly, unthinkable. If you’re afraid of heights like I am, don’t worry too much. You can also ride the London Eye.
The pods of the London Eye are incredibly big. And they move soo slowly! It’s very difficult to be too afraid. I just kept to the middle of the pod and was all right for most of the journey. The last few minutes could have passed a bit quicker, but it was okay in the end.
The journey takes 30 minutes in total and does provide you with an exceptional view of London.
The opening hours are usually from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on the weekend and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays.
It’s advisable to book a ticket in advance and the queue times can get quite long.
If you like to go on boat tours when you’re somewhere like me, then you’ll also enjoy the River Cruise.
It starts from the pier in front of the London Eye. The cruise takes 40 minutes and cruises along the River Thames. You can listen to audio commentary during the cruise.
Again, advanced booking is advised. The last cruise usually leaves at 5.45 p.m. Check their website if individual prices are cheaper. That’s sometimes the case in the off-season.
Day 6 – Great Day Trip from London
Option 1 – Harry Potter Studios
If you like Harry Potter then you should go to Waner Bros. Studio Tour Harry Potter. It’s a great opportunity to see the sets that were used for the films.
You can also take public transport if you don’t have a car available, but a tour is probably the easiest way to go about it.
Tickets should be pre-booked if you’re not taking a tour as they do sell out. There is a direct train from London Euston Station to Watford Junction. Once you arrive there, you can take the shuttle bus directly to the studios.
If you do want to take the tour, then you can get tickets here: Get Your Guide Harry Potter Tour
The dining hall is especially impressive – but really, all looks pretty cool. And you can get your own butter beer in the cafeteria.
Option 2 – Tour to Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath and Roman Bath Day Trip
You could do all of these in one day each, but not all together. And since time is limited during your one week in London, you might want to book a tour to tick off as much as possible.
Windsor was the late Queen Elizabeth’s favourite castle. It is incredibly impressive and worth a visit.
With the tour, you get access to the Windsor Castle State Apartments and can see Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House. If the latter doesn’t sway you, I don’t know what will 😀
After Stonehenge, the tour will take you to Stonehenge. Stonehenge are a few mysterious rocks in the middle of nowhere.
It’s pretty cool to see, but I do have to admit that I was a little bit underwhelmed. But maybe that was just me. It’s definitely nice to be able to say that you have seen it.
And last but not least, Bath. It is a UNESCO World Heritage and a beautiful city. So many old buildings made from sandstone. It’s certainly a contrast to London, also due to its size.
Located in Bath are the Roman Baths which is the best preserved Roman Spa from the ancient world.
This tour can be booked here.
Option 3: Oxford by train
A day trip that can be done fairly easily by train is a journey to Oxford. There is a direct train from Paddington to Oxford, so you don’t even have to change trains and it will arrive within 55 minutes.
Oxford is another beautiful city to visit. Home to one of the oldest universities in Britain, Oxford University, there are so many spectacular buildings to see.
This city was also the place where a lot of Harry Potter scenes were filmed, and some of them can be visited when you’re there.
This city is highly walkable. If you arrive by train then you can see all the amazing buildings just by walking around.
You’ll also find many independent shops, cafés, and restaurants there.
I had one of the best Afternoon Teas at The Rose in Oxford.
Other trips from London by train can be done to Cambridge, Canterbury, and Brighton to name a few.
Day 6 Alternative – Museums
I have given you quite the options for Day 6, and here is another one. But this one keeps you in London. However, it’s more for the people who really like museums and/or want to save a bit of money, as most museums in London are free to enter.
Morning – Natural History Museum or Science Museum
Closest Tube Station: South Kensington
Price: free
There are so many to choose from but two of my favourite museums are the Natural History and the Science Museum. And they are only a few steps apart.
I believe the names are pretty self-explanatory, so I won’t delve much deeper into this.
You do need to pre-book the free tickets. The links can be found below:
Natural History Museum Website
Afternoon – V&A (Victoria & Albert Museum)
Closest Tube Station: South Kensington
Price: free
Just opposite the Science Museum is the V&A. It’s a museum dedicated to art, design, and performance.
They have often amazing exhibitions on, which you have to pay for (I saw a brilliant Fabergé exhibition there), but the permanent displays are already worth a visit.
Evening – British Museum
Closest Tube Station: Tottenham Court Road
Price: free
And last but not least, the British Museum. For me the quintessential museum with displays of different cultures from across the globe, from thousands of years ago until today.
This one also has free entry but pre-booking is advised.
Day 7 – Last Day in London Extravaganza
Morning – Harrods
Closest Tube Station: Knightsbridge
Price: free (window shopping)
So, it’s the last day of your trip. I know you will have already done most of your shopping in Oxford Street and the various markets, but a trip to London wouldn’t be complete without having a look at the astronomical expensive things that can be bought at Harrods.
If you don’t know Harrods, it’s the world’s leading luxury department store. I believe at some point, they even sold tropical animals. Crazy, I know. Start your day by spending the leftover money you have 😀 (Although if you listened to my advice at the beginning, you didn’t take out much cash).
I always walk around very carefully because I’m afraid to break something and be in debt for the rest of my life. But I still enjoy walking around.
They also have an area where there are restaurants and cafés, so you can have a nice (and probably not cheap) breakfast here.
Afternoon – Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens
Closest Tube Station: Marble Arch (or walk from museums)
Price: free
It’s the last day and after spending a potential fortune at Harrods, you might want to take it slow and just have a wander through some lovely parks. That’s where Hyde Park comes into play. It is a huge park in London.
If you’re coming during the Summer months, then you can even take a dip on the Serpentine – I haven’t done that yet, so please do so at your own risk.
To be fair, it’s not a super special park, but still a nice place to visit. If you were a fan of the late Princess Diana, then you’ll find the Diana Memorial Fountain here.
Or you can have a little paddle boat tour on the Serpentine.
Opposite the Serpentine are the Kensington Gardens. They used to be part of Kensington Palace, but are now open to the public. They close the gates at dusk, so be aware during your stroll as that time changes during the year.
Kensington Garden is home to a fair number of beautiful monuments. The Peter Pan statue is my favourite.
Evening – The Shard or Sky Garden
Closest Tube Station: London Bridge
Price: from £25, depending on the time and day
And last but not least, the last day and last stop has come. What better ending than to have a last look over the London skyline from either the Shard or Sky Garden?!
You can see so many sights in London from there. But it’s definitely a treat. Especially if you choose the Shard. I’m not sure about you, but I always have to grin when I hear the name. Maybe the owners weren’t aware of the word that sounds similar.
The Shard has a viewing platform which can be visited. Ticket prices start at £25 and go up to £32 for general admission.
You can also go into one of the many restaurants up there, but be advised that they usually want a minimum spend around the £60 mark.
A cheaper alternative, however, quite difficult to get, is the Sky Garden in the Walkie Talkie building.
Yes, you read that right. It has the sophisticated name Walkie Talkie. Why? Because it looks like one (it’s the slightly round one in the photo below if it isn’t obvious).
The Sky Garden offers free access to their view platform. I know, free access, how does that work? Well, it’s on a first-come-first-served basis and you need to book the tickets in advance. And more often than not, they’re ‘sold’ out before you get a chance.
Tickets are released every Monday and can be booked here: Skygarden Website
You can sometimes still get tickets during the week, but weekends are tough. I have not been able to get tickets yet.
If you are just as out of luck as I usually am, then you can also book a table in one of the restaurants there.
The minimum spend is a bit lower at £40, however, tables do get fully booked, so try to book in advance. They also want a deposit as many people skip their reservations.
I hope you liked this example itinerary for 7 days in London. Like I said, I won’t bother you with food as there are so many different tastes, but I will suggest a few hotels and other accommodations for the various budgets.
London by Bus
If you’re in the mood for a bit less walking during one of the days, then I can also recommend hopping on one of the bus tours in London. A great one is the Big Bus Tours which have routes in many big cities.
Check out their website here: Big Bus Tours Website. I love Hop on / Hop off busses, especially when I’m tired and still want to see things.
They also offer guided tours with their tickets and even river cruises. Definitely worth checking out. You save 10% if you book online.
Accommodation in London
OK, where to stay in London? That’s a difficult question. And also not a cheap answer.
Hotels in London are notorious, just like other large cities, maybe even a bit worse.
The rooms are often expensive and then not very big, but I’ve tried to find a good selection.

You notice that I mainly recommend chains and the reason for that is, that I had bad experiences with non-chain accommodation and I don’t want you to end up somewhere you don’t like or is not up to your standard.
Pictures can be deceiving sometimes, so I want to give reliable suggestions.
Backpacker/Budget Traveller Options (Hostels, Dorms)

Conclusion: Quite a packed London 7-Day Itinerary
This is the end of the post. I hope you found this 7-day London itinerary helpful. There are so many attractions in London that are worth to see. It is great to spend a week in London, and I’m sure you could spend even more time here. There is always something new to see.
London is incredibly beautiful and one of the most amazing cities in the world, in my opinion – although I haven’t been everywhere yet, so it’s not a final decision. I just love going there and I hope you’ll love it as much.
I hope this itinerary gave you a good idea of what to do during your perfect week in London and tick off most of your London bucket list items. Exploring London in itself is already a dream come true.
I’m not a party girl, so I’ll leave the things to do in London at night to you. But as you probably now know, London has things for everyone.
Have a great time in London! And maybe we’ll meet it each other there.
