Neal's Yard - Covent Garden
This part of London SO looks like New York!!! The buzzing displays and lights will make you hooked to the crowds and transport you to a different universe.
Piccadilly Circus
Always blooming with music, this square reminds us of the British naval victory in the Napoleon wars. It's very lively and filled with crowds all day long!
Trafalgar Square
This memorial is located just outside the front gate of the Buckingham Palace, so it's very practical to visit. There are benches in front of it so you can rest from all the walking you'll be doing all day.

This is probably the most modern looking building in all of London. It's unique shape makes it stand out in a crowd of otherwise old buildings near the Thames river.

Located near the Buckingham palace, it's a really beautiful monument to visit. It looks a bit like the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel in Paris!
Wellington Arch
Museums
I suggest booking free tickets online so you don't queue in line with all the crowd going to this museum, especially during the holiday season. I got lost for hours here, so make sure you get early enough to see everything!
Tip: their gift shop is a...

Madame Tussauds
This one was a big surprise for me! I really enjoyed everything they had to offer inside, the exhibitions were amazing. You can also book free tickets in advance, like the British Museum.

Located on the Trafalgar Square, this gallery is the home to Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" and so much more. I also suggest booking free tickets in advance, although walk-ins are available like the rest of the museums!
The National Gallery
This is such a cute and breathtaking place to visit. I especially like how near it is to all the other attractions 🐬🐳
Sea Life Aquarium
Parks
This is probably the biggest park I've ever been in. It's ao peaceful inside, so much so that you don't have a feeling you're in London anymore - it's like you're transported into some outskirts of a big city with lots of green. I really like the con...
