London Travel Guide – Places to Visit in London

London Travel Guide – Some love London, some dislike it, while some are happy to find a big metropolis, some are out of order and calm. encounters a city far away.

London has a special place for us.. Since Umut went to London with a program and lived for a period, I visited him regularly (I am Asia for those who do not know him), and the seeds of our idea that ‘we can actually live in Europe for good’ were planted here.. We must have thought of Europe very broadly, we later moved to Frankfurt, but our minds remained in London.. It will be obvious, you see, our next home will be London..

If you think that London is a city where the subway was first established in the world, traffic lights were used for the first time, art especially the theater ceilings and history flows from every street, it is definitely a city worth seeing.. If you ask us, it is a city that is both a sight to behold and for a lifetime.. (Our article on moving to Europe after the age of 25 is coming, on the way 🙂 )

There are so many places to see in London that if you come and do not stay for a month, choose the places you will visit depending on your interests and time. it makes the most sense. In addition, while doing this, you need to plan your time well.. You can even make yourself a list by day.. This time, we will keep the guide a little longer and categorize the places to visit, and you can choose them according to your taste.. In fact, there are so many museums to see in London, and since Umut is an architect, he traveled with such enthusiasm that we may not be able to restrain ourselves about the museum!

Additional Note:

Additional note: We saw that there is indeed an extreme place to visit, we made a 5-day exemplary itinerary.. We hope it will give you an idea about planning the trip.

Also, this time we wrote the food and beverage guide separately, so click it!

Well, let’s get started then.. London Travel Guide!

London Travel Guide – UK Visa:

England visa is more difficult for most people to obtain than a Schengen Visa. it’s a visa and it’s notorious. If you ask us, there is nothing to be afraid of and if your documents are complete, there is no problem for them to issue a visa.. And if you speak English or have someone to help you fill out the application form, you don’t need to spend money on middlemen.. You can easily handle it yourself.

All you have to do is fill out the UK’s online application form https://www.visa4uk.fco.gov.uk/home/welcome, make an appointment, pay the fee and submit your documents. You have to wait for the appointment day to. Another good thing about the UK visa is that it is not uncertain how long it will be issued like the Schengen visa.. You have the option of 6 months, 2 years and 5 years.. The more you pay, the higher it is.. (I guess we don’t have to say that the 5-year one is a bit salty!)

The visa usually takes between 3-15 days, depending on the intensity at that time, but since you will have to wait for the appointment for a while, the sooner you start the visa business, the sooner you start. as good as it is from us to tell

With a UK visa you can freely enter the territory of Ireland, which includes Scotland and the UK. We wrote the conditions for entering the territory of the Republic of Ireland (with the capital Dublin) with a UK visa in our Dublin travel guide.. Click here.

London Travel Guide – When to Go, Weather, Soil and Expensiveness?

In our previous travel articles, we became the ‘taboo breaking blog’, once again the UK’s favorite place to go. Let’s talk about the weather. Yes, it is true that the weather in England is a gloomy city and it is rainy, but we do not agree with those who say “it is very cold all the time”, “it is rainy every day”, “don’t go out without wearing three layers of socks” for England.. Don’t let these scare you. If you ask us, the weather in England is definitely not colder than Central European countries (Germany-Austria etc.) and it doesn’t rain every day, or even if it does, it’s short lived.. So if your visit to London is coming to winter, don’t worry, it’s not unbearably cold.. Even at Christmas time, you can enjoy ‘Winter Wonderland’, which is the Christmas market and entertainment area.

As for the expensiveness, yes London is an expensive city, local transportation, eating at touristic restaurants, London Eye to ride and many touristic activities are expensive. However, if you want to travel like a backpacker, you can buy a sandwich for 3 pounds and fill your stomach in the delightful parks and use your money much more effectively by avoiding the tourist traps.. Therefore, it depends on how much money you will spend and how luxuriously you will spend your holiday.. In conclusion, don’t be afraid of being expensive, keep going!

How to Get to London?

Transportation and Local Transportation

As Istanbul-London is an extremely popular destination, so many airlines go and choose between these flights. We were satisfied with all four of the THY, Pegasus, Atlas and KLM we tried.. Whatever is the cheapest at the moment, go ahead.

London City Transport

As for urban transport, the name given to the ticket card used in the public transport system in London Oyster. You can think of an Oyster card as a payment system in which money is pre-loaded and deducted from the balance as you use it.. ‘Travelcard’ is a card that is loaded on the same Oyster card and gives unlimited usage rights for a certain number of days.. London consists of “6 Zones” and must-see places are usually 1 and 2. stays in the zone. The ticket price that you will pay while using the subway, that is, the ticket price that will be deducted from your Oyster card, varies according to which zones you travel between.. As the number of zones increases, the ticket price naturally increases.

If you want to load a ‘Travelcard’ on your Oyster Card, that is, to use unlimited public transport for 1 or 7 days, you choose which zones you want valid for, and the zone The higher the number, the higher the fee.. Travelcard is also valid on buses.

Whether you get on your Oyster card, will the balance decrease, or will you prefer to pay the money and relax, consider it carefully and compare the prices.. If you decide to buy a Travelcard, it is enough if it is valid in Zone 1 and Zone 2, because you will usually hang out there (except for a few places) By the way, you can get the Oystercard from the ticket machines at all metro stations, you don’t need to search especially.. Since the ticket prices change in direction and hour, we do not write it here, now you will see that part when you go

London subway has 270 stops and 3 million people use it daily! So you may confuse it a bit at first, but don’t worry, you get used to it right away.

London Travel Guide – Where Should We Stay?

London in Zone 1 (Oxford Street and scientific what famous places) as you can imagine it is extremely expensive. If you want to stay around Zone 1, the most sensible option is to stay around Victoria and King’s Cross.. Zone 2, on the other hand, is ideal for traveling on a medium budget, and you do not spend much money on the road while visiting the city, and it is much cheaper than Zone 1.. Maybe you have heard from every London visitor.. Not many locals (who have a lot of money) live in “zone 1” in central London. The biggest reason for this is that it is very touristic and very expensive.. The places where the British, who have the real money, live, are actually “zone 2” places like Hampstead.

These areas are relatively quiet and you can easily tell which areas are rich and which are not rich from the car brands that are already parked at the door of the house..

London Travel Guide – Places to Visit in London

Since we spent more than 3 months in total in London, we were able to visit a lot of places and prepared a long list. Squares, museums and parks are in separate categories. We wrote so that there is no confusion, it stays orderly! You can evaluate it according to your level of interest and add it to your list.. As a suggestion, you will save more than half and save time if you plan your destinations in advance and buy a multi-activity ticket, as the things you will spend the most money on in London will be museum and event entrances.. For example, you can buy a ticket to Madam Tussauds Museum and the London Eye at the same time as a combined ticket and you will pay 40 pounds instead of 60 pounds for both.. For this, you can simply click here.

Easy!

Let’s not forget to write this, you woke up in London and it’s raining, throw yourself into a museum, it’s probably raining until you get out of the museum. It will have stopped and you can continue your tour from where you left off,

Places to Visit in London

Oxford Street:

Places to visit in London We said let’s start with the most cliché of the chapter.. As you know, this is London’s temple of consumption and it houses tons of stores.. This street, where you can see a lot of people passing out while shopping, is a street we don’t like very much in London, and most of its cafes don’t have a place for crowds.. Of course, you can’t do without seeing this famous street, but after taking an hour or two to tour, you can go to ‘Regent Street’ right next to it.. This street is both more aesthetic and London’s famous 5-storey toy store ‘Hamleys’ is on this street.

There are four tube (metro) stations on Oxford Street.. These are in order starting from the Hyde Park entrance, Marble Arch, Bond Street, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road .

Piccadilly Circus:

You can recognize Piccadilly Square, which is one end of Regenst Street, from the statue that resembles the Eros Statue in its heart (something else you will recognize is in every movie shot in London). the square shown with plenty of illuminated billboards)! With a lot of buskers, performers, young and old, this is a square that we love much more than Oxford and Regent Street, and it is a street that is more crowded at midnight than it is during the day! The nightclubs and dance places around it are not our style, we are from Camden (we will come to it also) but anyway, go here! Anyway, since this place is close to Covent Garden, you will definitely be on your way.

If we don’t write that, the statue in the square is not the Eros Statue as most people think, but the reformer of England, known for his benevolent temperament. ‘Lord Shaftesbury’ statue, but by a twist of fate it was mixed with Eros and is now known as such.

Soho

The back streets of Picccadilly are famous for London’s gay and lesbian bars Soho, while the back streets of Soho make up ChinaTown, that is, Chinatown.. Although, if you are in this area, you don’t need to search for China Town, you will understand that the surroundings suddenly turn to Chinese restaurants and the signs to Chinese! Take a tour, but you’d better save the eating and drinking part somewhere else, we paid 40 Pounds for two china plates and a sake in a ridiculous place out of curiosity, got up before we were full, and then went and ate doner kebabs.

Chinatown’ On the way back from Leicester Square, you can stop by the huge M&M’s shop.. This is the M&M’s shop, the candy you know, but it is so huge that you get lost in hundreds of thousands of kinds of candies and chocolates.

Also, if you want to watch theater in London, you can buy cheap tickets in Leicester Square There is a box office named ‘TKTS’. Sometimes you can buy theater tickets for half price from these toll booths, it is useful to keep in mind.

Covent Garden

Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, Soho and Chinatown are very close to each other.. You can easily navigate with the map. So, let’s start by calculating as if you kept walking to Covent Garden after visiting Piccadilly, and let’s start explaining this place right away.

This is another one of London’s rarest squares.. With the famous ‘Royal Opera House’ at one end, peddlers selling trinkets in the middle and a chain of stores following it, it is one of the first places to see in London’s squares.

Eating and drinking in this street. We do not recommend going into the event, it is unnecessarily expensive, but you can have a lot more fun if you control your self and do not eat and shop.. London’s biggest bookstore ‘Stanfords’ is here and there are hundreds of kinds of travel books (in fact, we think the only shopping we did in London was to get a Brazilian guide from here). And then there’s the London classic ‘fire blowers’, jugglers, card tricksters, pantomimes, street musicians and so on, so good luck!

And ‘London Transport Museum’ here, we will also touch on it in the museums section.

London Travel Guide – Camden Town:

Some call it London’s ‘horse market’, some call it the hardware store, our For me, this is the most beautiful place in London! This district, which we want to photograph each and every part of, is the most interesting and most atmospheric district of London, together with ‘Brick Lane’ and ‘Notting Hill’, if you ask us, and we spend the same evenings together. The place we enjoy spending our time the most.

In this area of ​​Camden we love, you can find all kinds of street food, all kinds of markets, graffiti, cocktail bars, thrift stores and even hookah bars.. This area in North London was the hardware store of 18th century London and while it was transformed over time, its old atmosphere was preserved and became the favorite place of many people, young and old, in London.. Since it is considered the most shabby district of London, ‘posh’ British people do not prefer it much and it is mostly flocked by young people traveling with low budgets and tourists with more alternative lifestyles.

The most famous place of this region ‘Camden Lock Market’ ‘ and in this market, which is a kind of street market, it is possible to find street food of all kinds of cuisine and get enough for 5 pounds.. In the evenings, it is more lively with its various pubs and cocktail bar.. This region, which can be considered as the other face of London, is our favorite place and if you go, you should have a snack and a mulled wine on the stools overlooking the canal in the middle.

London Travel Guide – Notting Hill

We’re here. to another London favorite. This is definitely one of the areas in London that has a different vibe, with rows of houses each in a different color, the street market ‘Portobello Road Market’ every Saturday, and second-hand shops, and if you ask us, hanging out here is on Oxford Street. much more fun than hanging out. If you have time, it is highly recommended to spend an afternoon here and spend time on its streets!

Also, every year in August, there is a 2-day carnival here and it is the most crowded street festival in the world after Rio.. We could not come across the two-day Notting Hill Carnival’, but check the dates you are going to go, it will be okay!

Baker Street

The name sounds familiar from somewhere, you will wonder where, let’s tell you right away, this is the street where Sherlock Holmes’ famous house number 221b is located and is constantly mentioned in the TV series

Currently, house number 221b Sherlock Holmes Museum and admission is £15 per person. Robert Downey Jr. from a corner while visiting the museum. you feel like you’re going out. On crowded days you may have to wait in line, but if you ask us, it’s definitely worth it.. There are also very nice souvenirs in the gift section next to it.. This mummy museum is 200 years old and has been flooded with visitors from all over the world for 200 years.. One of the reasons why it is so popular is that it is constantly renewing itself.. Inside, there is everything from death masks made in the French Revolution to wax statues of many world-famous celebrities, and recently the ‘Star Wars Experience’ section has been added in addition to the ‘Sherlock Experience’.. The museum is divided into 14 sections and you can take a taxi inside and take pictures with a lot of characters from Star Wars characters to Michael Jackson. The last four-dimensional show is absolutely beautiful.. As a London classic, there is an EXTREME queue at the door and you would wait for hours if you did not buy the ticket online.

Also, the museum ticket, which is normally 36 pounds per person, costs 29 pounds if you buy it online, and you can combine it with other activities and get a combined ticket.. That way, it doesn’t go in like a sleeve, sorry! Click here for this

Regent’s Park

This park, which also has a botanical garden and passes by the regents canal, can be considered the calmest and most tourist-free park in London.. In nice weather, folks play a lot of ball, eat ice cream in their cafes, ride bikes and spread out in the countryside.. There are all kinds of people, from sunbathers to yoga practitioners, and hopefully it won’t be as popular as Hype Park.. If you want to go to London without hanging out in its parks, this is our favourite.. Forget Hyde Park, my dear, everyone is already there!

Hyde Park

We’ve arrived at London’s most famous park. This is the park that hosts legendary concerts especially in summer and where London’s biggest Christmas Market, Winter Wonderland, is set up in winter Actually, it makes more sense to think of this place as a whole park and gardens, not a single park.. People generally like this place very much, but especially in summer, it is so crowded that you can go and say ‘eh breh’ to find peace and come back.. If you don’t have much time and it’s winter time, you can at least visit the ‘Kensington Gardens’ section. Caesar’s right, there aren’t any overly authentic gardens in other parts of Hyde Park, but Kensington Gardens is certainly beautiful and worth a visit.

Winter Wonderland

November’s We love Winter Wonderland, a mix of Christmas Market and Amusement Park, set up in Hyde Park the last week and running until the first week of January, and you will absolutely love it! Even if you’re not going to ride Ferris wheels or kamikazes, or even if you don’t drink alcohol, this is the place where you can feel the best Christmas mood in Europe, and although we’ve visited most Christmas Markets in Europe, we’ve never come across one that can compete with Winter Wonderland.

Yes, the prices inside are a bit salty and it’s overcrowded on weekends, but the decorations and food look so good that you’re walking around with your butts freezing from the cold.. If you want to ride something in the amusement park, there is a Ferris wheel that goes up about 70 meters and spins like crazy, you can get on it and curse us! Yes, you freeze more and one side of you throws, but it is definitely more fun than the classic Roller Coasters. When you land, you can take your mulled wine and continue walking! As you can see, our love for Winter Wonderland is endless, if you come to London at Christmas Time, come here, have fun, please!

Buckingham Palace

This is the official residence and workplace of the royal family and is another part of London. like park is located inside St James Park. Right next to it is the ‘Quenn’s Gallery’ where the collections of the royal family are exhibited.. It is always overcrowded, as it is considered one of the symbols of London along with Big Ben.. If you want to go inside, you still have to buy tickets in advance.. Ticket prices range from £12 to £20.. Since we did not find Buckingham Palace to be so “glamorous”, we did not tour inside, but we took a ‘selfie’ saying it is a tourist attraction!

While we’ve come this far, another symbol of London is ‘Big Ben’. You can also see . The palace and the clock tower are very close.. The real name of the tower is Elizabeth Tower and the front of Big Ben is always overcrowded like Buckingham Palace.. You can take a picture of it and leave, there’s nothing else to do anyway.

Palace of Westminster

We came to another palace. Most of the Palace of Westminster, home to the House of Lords and Commons in England, was destroyed in a fire in 1834 and was rebuilt in its current Gothic form.. It is impossible not to notice such a huge structure while walking by the Thames River.. And if you cross the Westminster Bridge on your way here, it’s okay, you’ve completed another tourist mission!

We almost forgot, there’s also Westminster Abbey, which is an important event for the British Royal family such as weddings and funerals. This is the monastery that hosts his days, and many more such as Darwin, Dickens and Newton are buried here.

The British cannot put this monastery to the ground, but they did not neglect to make 15 Pounds admission even for the student.. We St.. Paul’s Cathedral, we skipped entering this place.

London EYE

As a blog that has always tried to stay away from tourist attractions, we cannot recommend the London Eye to you. but let’s talk about it anyway!

You know how every city in Europe has a hill, a castle or something, you go up there and look at the view of the city, you take pictures, dear British people thought of this, no matter what we do, people want to take pictures. they said they would get in line and they built this Ferris wheel with the highest point of 135 meters on the side of the Thames River! The difference from a normal Ferris wheel is that it finishes a tour in 40 minutes and is in the form of capsules for 25 people.. The cost per person is around 20 Pounds.. If you ask us, you could spend those 40 minutes wandering the beautiful streets of London and for that 20 Pound you could have a good meal and drink in Camden or visit the British Museum.. Even if you want to watch London from above, you can go to Primrose Hill with your wine and sandwich.

If we couldn’t stop you despite all our scribbling efforts, you can avoid waiting in line by buying your ticket here,

Tower Bridge

The bridge over the Thames, built towards the end of the 1800s, was the most famous bridge that can be opened and closed in the world.. There is also a museum on the upper part of the bridge that tells the history of the bridge.. You cross the bridge for free, but if you want to go to this upper floor, you have to sacrifice 10 Pounds per person.. It seemed a little redundant to us and we didn’t go out, instead we visited the Tower of London just at the end of the bridge.. You pay 15 pounds per person at the entrance, but it’s worth it.

The castle is one of the most historical buildings in the city and you can visit various structures in this large complex.. Also, another thing the castle is famous for is ghosts! There is a decades-old story that the ghost of Anne Boleyn, who was executed by beheading, has been hanging around with her severed head under her arm, and we are sure that there will be people who believe it too!

St. Paul’s Cathedral

If we don’t visit a cathedral in every city, we have a place, you know! We came to London’s famous cathedral, which is visited by 2 million (!) people every year.. Unfortunately, the entrance is a bit of a pile (15 Pounds) and it is often crowded, but if you want to see the foggy misty view of London, you can pay 15 Pounds and visit the cathedral as well as go to the top of the 110 meters high, through the narrow corridors of the cathedral.. In this respect, we think it makes much more sense than the London Eye, so we gave it away!

Greenwich Observatory

Greenwich is a town near London and its name is, as you can guess, the observatory located in this city. coming from your house. Since 1884, the meridian passing over Greenwich has been accepted as 0 degrees and local time adjustments have been made based on Greenwich.

Entry to the observatory is free and you can visit the Astronomy and Space museums inside.. Frankly, we couldn’t find anything interesting other than the lush view and the old telescope, but if you’re particularly interested, you can come.. And the London Tube (underground) doesn’t come this far.. You have to come by city train line or bus. If you have a plan to come here, let’s say in advance, they really beat anyone who does not take a photo by placing one foot to the right of 0 degrees longitude and the other to the left.. If there are 10 people visiting the museum inside, there are 100 people stepping on that longitude line! Anyway, let’s not bury it too much, after all, we printed it too )

Shakespeare’s Globe

The Globe Theater, which was originally founded by Shakespeare and his friends in 1599, was destroyed in a fire in 1613 and was rebuilt the following year. been taken. As they are unfortunate now, the theater was completely destroyed in 1644.. Much later, in the 20th century, with many initiatives and projects, the current Shakespeare Globe Theater was established very close to the original Globe Theatre, remaining faithful to the original. The best theater actors of the world come here on tour every year.. If you love theater and can get tickets in advance, it’s impossible not to impress you with the Shakespeare Globe.. We were very impressed by the Shakespeare Globe, even though we watched it in the indoor hall since we went in winter and we didn’t like ‘The Changeling’, which was the only ticket we could find.. Especially when you consider that a wrestling referee is appointed to head the city theaters in our country, it is not strange! If you have the opportunity to watch a game here, prepare yourself for the magnificent Royal English.

The standing tickets for the games in the grand amphitheater are as low as 10 Pounds.. Do not be intimidated by the fact that it is very expensive.. If you want to see the tickets, click here

Warner Bros – Harry Potter Tour

Harry Potter has a special place for those in their late 20s like us. No matter how hard we tried to stay away from extreme touristic activities, we couldn’t resist when it came to Harry Potter and we bought our tickets for 35 Pounds per person (we even drank cold water on top of it).

For those who have plans to go, we do not want to miss the surprise. , so we won’t go into too much detail, but let’s just say it was worth going! They take you to the studios in groups and all of a sudden the details you forgot about Harry Potter appear.. Be it the Griffindor common room, broom simulations, Dumbledore’s room, every place has been designed extremely successfully and you can even drink ‘ Cream Beer’ in the open part of the studio.. It’s impossible not to feel nostalgic here.

If you loved Harry Potter at the time and want to nostalgia and you have a budget, these studios may be the ‘extreme touristic’ attraction we recommend to you in London.. Fortunately, it was from the places we said we had gone.. Long live em, J.K Rowling!

Harrods Mall:

Frankly we still don’t understand why it’s so famous We estimate that the mall is one of the most expensive malls in London and even in the world, and only 5 percent of the people who go are shopping. If you have a lot of money, you can spend it to the fullest (or you can take a quick tour and escape like us).

Museums

The British Museum:

Actually. There are many things we want to say about the British Museum and there is a separate article in it, but we will try to cut it short.. As you now know, this is England’s most famous museum, and in this huge museum, ancient artifacts and ethnographic collections brought from all over the world are exhibited.. Historical artifacts, mummies, Nemrud hall, Temple of Artemis, Gilgamesh Tablets and hundreds more and if you are a little bit into art, you will go crazy. Imagine that there is a huge temple in a room!

The most discussed issue about this museum is how the British Museum brought together so many historical artifacts.. Many people argue that the British Museum took some of these artifacts without permission, never took it with the intention of preserving it and should give it back, and that none of the countries that Britain has colonized throughout its history have had the purpose of preserving the historical heritage, or even completely based on destroying the culture.

Those who oppose this say that this is not theft of history, but the preservation of world heritage and that historical artifacts are well preserved in the museum.. We, as a couple, can’t come to a consensus on this issue, so we won’t be able to write anything more, so we leave the decision to you

In fact, your friends around you who say, ‘3-5 pottery delayed Marmaray for 4 years’ or something. If there are, take them with you so that they will be enlightened!:)

London Travel Guide – Natural History Museum

In our opinion, the Natural History Museum of London, which is open every day and free of charge definitely, it’s much better than museums that pay a lot of money and you can get a lot more efficiency if you do a little research before you go.. It has numerous departments such as botany, entomology, zoology, and naturally not every department will interest you equally.. For example, if you are not going with a child, you can skip the educational sections, we are not at school, after all, we are walking around!

Our favorite section here is the Darwin Department’. You have to write your name in advance to visit this section, and when it’s your turn, they will pick you up and take you to the building where scientists work at the back of the museum.. If you can’t stomach it, you can even see the animals that Darwin discovered and kept in jars.

Victoria&Albert Museum

While we’ve come to this museum, the You should also go to the Victoria & Albert Museum. This decorative art and design museum is also free to enter and is open every day.. Also, there are new exhibitions all the time, and even if the museum itself doesn’t interest you, you can at least visit the exhibits.. When you want to see what exhibition there is, click here.

The National Gallery

With your permission, we continue to drown in art. This gallery, which houses dozens of painters and paintings from Leonardo Da Vinci to Van Gogh, from Monet to Gauguin, is naturally a frequent destination for tourists coming to London and the entrance is free!

Because the gallery is very large. , visiting all the galleries may cause you to become an ambidexter, so you will use your time more efficiently here and you will not be confused, which gallery is in which room at the entrance, and where you look!

Tate Modern

Each city has a place Wouldn’t London have a modern art museum? Tate Modern is also London’s Museum of Modern Art and the location is easy. You find the Millennium Bridge over the River Thames and cross over, and Tate is in front of you.

Tate One of the leading modern art museums of the modern world has been converted into a museum by the conversion of an old factory building, but the huge gallery space inside is strange. creates a feeling. You will also have the opportunity to see the annex building of Herzog & De Meuron, which is exclusive to architects, whose models are on display when we go.. Sorry we didn’t see. Also, the exhibits inside are really nice ones

There are guided tours at various times of the day, you can catch these tours if you look at the website before you go.. What we’ll say is that we’ve got full points for Tate!

London Travel Guide – London Transport Museum

I think this is the only museum in London that we paid to enter and was not worth our money.. Entrance to museum near Covent Garden is £15 and shows London’s transport heritage. It’s not bad to see red trains, buses and old transports, but it sure isn’t £15. (There may be those who say that you are looking at us shallow here, what should we do now 🙂 !)

The museum that we wanted to go but could not go to was London’s famous museum ‘Imperial War Museum’. If you have time and interest, you can evaluate it.

Small Suggestions

*If you have rented an apartment instead of a hotel, or if there is a kitchen in the hostel you are staying, you can find sandwiches from Tesco supermarkets in London, which are famous for their cheapness. you can buy the ingredients and pass the lunches with sandwiches. Tesco is sweet.

* The famous British tea brand ‘Twinings’. But now it is sold in almost every supermarket in Turkey, and in terms of price, it is no different than buying from London.. Anyway, we didn’t know, you can get it as a souvenir if you want!

*We never even mentioned the canal tour event, so you understand how unnecessary it is.. It is so nice to explore a city like London with its beautiful streets on foot, there is no need to get stuck in a boat on the canal and spend a ton of money on top of it.. A true ‘tourist trap’.

*Stamford Bridge, Chelsea’s football stadium. If you are interested, you can visit it.. That’s why we can’t comment.

*Be sure to download the Tube Map application to your phone before you go, it works without internet and you can access London’s metro network information.

*British If you want to visit the Museum and the National Gallery in a nice way rather than casually, remember that you should spare half a day each, it is useful to plan accordingly.

Shopping in London

*We can’t tell you much about shopping, because we never shopped in London. But let’s say as far as we can see, we are saying that London’s petite and retro boutiques are beyond, 95 percent of the brands you will see in London are the stores you can find in Turkey, and you won’t miss anything if you don’t shop.. Camden Town is ideal for buying small gifts.. The same magnets and other little gifts you see on Oxford Street or the Thames are usually half price in Camden.

We’ve come to the end of another travel article, congratulations if you’ve read it this far!

Hope Since he lived in London for a period of time and I (Asia) went to him often, we had the chance to tour London from top to bottom and we were able to do what we wanted to do in the city.. We did not feel the expensiveness of London as we avoided luxury activities and expensive meals.. We allocated our budget to museums and must-see buildings by choosing places where we can have breakfast at home in the mornings, have sandwiches in the afternoon, and eat cheap in the evenings.. So don’t let the expensiveness of London scare you, it is always possible to travel cheaply.

Our Impressions of London

As for our general impressions about London, it is definitely a city that deserves such attention and we are sincere about it..
