London Tour Selection Trips
- Choosing Central London as the basepoint of your trip will be easier and cheaper to move around the whole city and explore the major destination through the central area. The cost of accommodation is a bit higher, but it gets covered in what you save in traveling from distant hotels to the main hub, also saving you lots of time.
- As soon as you reach London, get an Oyster card. You can get it from mostly tube stations and can preload an amount that you can use on the go during your travel. Once you reach the daily cap after 3 to 4 journeys, then you can travel around for free for the rest of your day.
- You can also purchase an Oyster card online and have it mailed to you before you depart for London! But be sure to leave enough time to receive it.
- Plan your trip well before arriving. Choose the desired destinations, mode of transportation for every point, make advanced bookings, etc. The busy city is always filled with people, and you will waste your time and money if you don't preplan your trip.
- Don’t try to explore every point in the city in one trip. The enormous city is full of worth visiting places that you can’t completely explore even in weeks. So, plan your trip conveniently for 3 to 4 days and map your route accordingly.
- London is undoubtedly not a cheap city, but there are various free to visit great spots in the city. There are various parks, gardens, and museums like the British Museum, National Gallery, National History Museum, Science Museum, and many more.
- You can pay through your credit card, but no currency is acceptable other than a sterling pound, so keeps a sufficient amount with you.
- Keep a travel adapter because the UK plugs are different from what you find in other European countries and the US & Canada.
- Tips are usually not expected in the UK as the service charges are included in the restaurant bill, and they charge you 10 - 15% service charges in addition to the bill. But you can leave a 10% tip if you are happy with the service.
- Choose your transportation mode according to the destination and the distance. The fastest and most convenient method is through the underground tubes that save you from the traffic hassle, but you will miss the sights in that. At times the distance between your destinations will be so small that it would be better to walk between the two stops instead of spending time in getting on and off the tube/bus.
- One of the best ways of sightseeing across London is to rent a bike and go on paddling.
- The unpredictable weather of the city demands you to keep an umbrella with you all the time. Winter or summer, you never know when it will start to rain, so pack your umbrella or raincoat with you and check the weather forecast every time you step out of your hotel.

Best time to visit London
The largest city and capital of the England attracts millions of people annually, round the year. Every season has its own perks and benefits, and it depends very much on your interest that which time suits you the best. There is no offseason in London; hence, if you expect empty streets to have the region all to yourself is nearly impossible.
The busy city is the hub of the country and is always crowded with local or international visitors. There are times when the crowds are small when a huge bunch of tourists has not yet arrived but still expect crowd everywhere. No matter what time of the year you choose to travel to London, one thing that you have to keep with you always is an umbrella. The unpredictable weather in London can get you trapped in the rain anytime. So, better be ready for it.
Summertime, June – August, is the most popular time, and various people choose to travel to London during these months. The main reason is the pleasantly warm weather that will make you so comfortable that you won't mind the huge tourist crowds.
It is also the best time to visit if you want to visit the royal sites as they are open to the public during summer when the occupants are away for a holiday. From late June to early July you will have the chance to enjoy Harrods's summer sale and many other good summer sales.
Autumn, mid-September to November, brings with it a mild chill, signaling the approaching winters, but the weather is still comfortably pleasant. Streets are still crowded with tourists to some extent. If you are interested in experiencing the local culture, then you might get a chance to witness any of the annual events like Guy Fawkes Night, The Lord Mayor's Show, etc.
Being a low tourist season, due to the freezing temperatures, wintertime is best to get the discounted deals on everything, except December. The post-Christmas sales in January, along with discounts on airfare and accommodation, can let you save a lot. If you don’t mind all packed up in warm clothes, then you should travel to London during winter as that will help you save a lot in every aspect. Also, there will be fewer people and shorter queues for everything, saving you lots of time as well.
The second best time after summer is the spring season with its beautiful blooming flowers. Enjoy the beauty of royal gardens and parks with various colors inviting you to indulge in the natural beauty. The winter chill has left already, and the summer warmth welcomes you with open arms. Tourists have not yet arrived, so you will find lesser crowds everywhere during early spring. This time of the year has minimum rainfall and is considered to be the best time of the year concerning the weather.
