Check out Four fun things to do in London yourself or with friends when on your London tour!
I’m a Londoner, yes an actual one!
We do exist usually in Zone 3 and outwards, but even so when you live here you don’t always explore what London has to offer and more!
So, I will be touring my city to bring you the best tourist sites to visit. Some will be mainstream, some will be off the beaten track but all I hope will spur you on to pay a visit and make your London trip special.
I will be creating posts like this, as well as focus on individual tourist attractions as and when I visit them personally so you can see what’s out there and begin to build your London checklist.
Recommended is making a list of your London must sees and must do’s, perhaps even check out my free life creator booklet as there is a bucket list page where you can write all your fave things that you wish to do in the future.
Looking for some inspiration when visiting the capital? Here it comes!
