My recs for where to stay!
The perfect vibe for a millennial! A cozy, cute, boutique hotel with a buzzing lobby full of places to sit with your laptop or enjoy a latte or wine. Holborn is a great central, walkable, neighborhood for all of the things you'll want to do.

If you're looking for a super vibey hotel close to easy transportation, The Standard is definitely it. It's right across from Kings Cross & St. Pancras stations (where you leave from if you're headed to Paris or mainland Europe by train) making i...

My recs for where to eat & drink!
You've probably seen this place on Pinterest and honestly, it lives up to the hype. Each room has a different design done by artists and changes every few years. Come here for afternoon tea but make sure you make a reservation ASAP - they're open 30 ...

Gordon's wine bar in a super cool historic building is perfect for either evening drinks or a little daytime wine sipping on the patio. I was there in the summer and enjoyed some afternoon wine sampling outside and loved it!
Gordons Wine Bar
Another amazing afternoon tea experience! It's also considered luxury but it's worth it, in my opinion. They base their desserts around different artists and create edible art - literally inspired by the artists work. It's super cool and of course, d...

Amazing thai food! I ate at the one in Seven Dials for lunch and I was so impressed. Highly reccommend - there's a few other locations too!
Rosa's Thai Restaurant | Authentic Thai Food
The perfect spot for a girl dinner (or lunch!) I had a salad, fries, and wine and had a lovely time people watching! It's in one of my favorite neighborhoods, Marylebone which is perfect for an afternoon stroll and window shopping.

If it's your first time to London, this is a must! It's got so much incredible history and houses the Crown Jewels. I always recommend the Tower to anyone who hasn't been yet. Plus, it's along the River Thames and close to the Tower Bridge for a grea...
Tower of London | Historic Royal Palaces
A stroll through Hyde Park, especially on a beautiful sunny day is the perfect way to spend a morning or afternoon. It's gorgeous and has a very peaceful yet energizing feeling that you'll carry with you the rest of the day.
Hyde Park | The Royal Parks
Highly recommend getting tickets to explore Westminster Abbey. It is a stunning cathedral that holds so much history (including the tomb of Mary, Queen of Scots) and will make you feel like you've been transported back in time or are in the middle of...

If you're missing your pets at home, Java Whiskers Cat Cafe is the perfect way to fill the void. You can order a pastry or a drink and play, pet, or snuggle with their cafe cats! I loved it here

Liberty is a high end department store in the Carnaby neighborhood of SoHo and it's absolutely worth a browse, even just to see if shopping isn't what you're there for. It's housed in a gorgeous old tudor style building and can't be missed!
Liberty | Designer Department Store Selling Luxury Brands
Harrod's is another must-do shopping (or even just browsing) experience. Never in my life had I been somewhere where you could buy designer clothes & bags, and your fish in the same building but it is AMAZING. There are different floors dedicated...
Harrods
If you're a Harry Potter fan like me, you have to visit this store. It feels like you're stepping into the movies and that's because the founders were the artists and designers behind the Harry Potter films! Their store is filled with many magical, l...

If you're tired from all of the walking and exploring, Masaj is a great studio that has a few locations in the city. You can book online, often same day, and enjoy a relaxing and nice massage that doesn't cost you an arm and a leg or take up your who...
