The classics, still earning their place

New or not, the headline sights remain the backbone of any visit. Our attractions and places to visit guides stay current, so they are the first thing we update when something changes.

Markets and shopping worth a detour

We are always refreshing our markets and shopping guides as new spots earn a recommendation. They are a good barometer of where the city is heading.

Plan around the season

Whatever time of year you arrive, our things to do guide is kept seasonal, and a quick look at a ready-made itinerary is the fastest way to turn all of this into a real plan.

The parks, properly used

A London summer is mostly spent outdoors. The royal parks are the obvious joy, and they are free, which is why they lead our free things to do roundup. Pack a book, find a quiet spot, and let an afternoon disappear.

Markets in full swing

Warm weather is market weather. Our guide to the best markets in London is the one we reach for, whether it is flowers in the morning or food stalls at lunch. Pair it with a wander through one of the city's neighbourhoods and you have a whole day sorted.

The big sights, minus the crush

Summer is busy, so timing matters. Early mornings and late afternoons are kindest at the headline attractions, and many of the places worth visiting are far calmer once the midday crowds thin. If you would rather stay cool, a great museum is always a good fallback.

We will keep adding to this as the season unfolds. For now, the city is at its most generous, and that is reason enough to be out in it.
