Once you land at the airport (I’m guessing Heathrow), you can easily find your way to central London by either taking the normal Tube a.k.a MRT (longer journey time but only approx. £3.10 each way), or by getting a Heathrow express train (very fast, One-way ticket; £22 – £25, Return ticket; £37). Whatever you decide, it’s pretty straightforward to ...
Now that that’s out of the way… SHOPPING! Taking into account jet-lag, time spent finding your accommodation and general travel lethargy, you’ll probably want to take it easy on the first day, so go about some own-time-own-target shopping. Hit up Oxford Circus, Regent Street and the Marble Arch area for pretty much every brand under the sun, and do...
Afternoon tea is a must when you visit London (scones!) and while you’ll be spoilt for choice, I recommend treating yourself to the one at Sketch because the restaurant is just so beautiful. Reservations are very important, so check out the websitebefore your trip. The Gallery in Sketch where afternoon tea is served is decked out with quirky artwor...
Harrodsis a classic stop on any London itinerary and a shopper’s paradise. The upscale department store is known for its variety and home brand offerings, with an elegant interior and store design. Wander the food halls and sample quality ingredients or splurge on that designer handbag you’ve wanted for the past five years. Harrods: 87 – 135 Brompt...
Once you’ve had your fill of Harrods, it’s time to tick off another London staple. Head next door to Harvey Nichols (another department store) but go straight to the fifth floor and get ready for some lobster at Burger & Lobster. Prices have increased over the years so it’s not that value-for-money anymore, but the Original Lobster (Steamed) (£31)s...
Your eyes will probably be heavy by now, but if you can keep yourself going past dinner, squeeze in a stop at Mr Fogg’s Residencefor a nightcap. Themed after Jules Verne’s ‘Around The World In 80 Days’, the bar itself will transport you into a different world altogether. The whimsical cocktails here were inspired by fictional adventurer Phileas J. ...
Given your inevitable jet-lag, you’ll probably be up bright and early the next day. Make the most of your British morning by getting breakfast and chilling in Hyde Park. I recommend getting takeaway from Pret a Manger (a cafe chain that you’ll pretty much see everywhere). Even if you’re there in the colder months, just wrap up warm and you can stil...
Day Two is all about sightseeing, so once you get your breakfast and some chill-time in, prepare for a busy day. London is home to sooomany iconic sights, and unless you’re visiting for 10 days, you’ve got to be strategic about what you actually want to see. Your best bet would be to get a day ticket for a hop-on/hop-off sightseeing bus tour. There...
You’re on a hop-on/hop-off bus so you can get on and get off as many times as you like from the official bus stops (look at the map given to you) for however long your ticket lasts. Like I said, have a think about what’s worth getting off to explore further, or what you’re happy to just see from the bus. Trafalgar Squareis a good example of a stop ...
The famous London Eye (now known as the Coca-Cola London Eye), is an iconic part of the London skyline and worth a visit if you fancy paying for a bird’s eye view of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. It’s right next to the River Thames and if you know in advance that you want to ride this Ferris wheel, get tickets online. Prices: Standard ticke...

Jul 13, 2014 · Most shops in London open late (around 11am) and close early (at 5pm) on Sunday so we couldn't do much except explore the neighbouring Kings Mall and other shops. There was a 2-storey H&M at Kings Mall, and the Summer Sale is ON!

Jun 22, 2016 · 7. Shop at the Markets, Not the Malls. London’s markets offer a variety of things you won’t find in malls. And we assure you, if it’s in a mall in London it’s in a mall in Singapore. Market stall holders are also often ready to bargain with you.
Jun 2, 2023 · Few cities can rival Singapore for shopping, but London gives us a decent run for our money. You won’t be able to resist entering classic department stores like Selfridges, Harvey Nichols and Harrods.
