Travelling solo

London is one of the easiest big cities to enjoy on your own: walkable, friendly and full of free museums. Start with our guide to visiting London solo.

With teenagers

Keeping older children interested is its own art. See London with teenagers, and for younger ones our family guide and London with kids.

Step-free and accessible

Getting around without stairs takes a little planning and London rewards it. Our accessible London guide covers transport, attractions and where to stay.

At a gentler pace

No rush, no crush. For slower days built around river, gardens and great art, read London at a gentler pace.

In style

Grand hotels, fine dining and quiet luxury are a London speciality. See luxury London for a first-class visit.

As a group of all ages

Pleasing everyone from eight to eighty is possible with the right plan. Our guide to multigenerational London shows how. When you are ready for logistics, our trip planning guide and London, compared series tie it all together.

Something for the children

Animals and dinosaurs rarely fail. London Zoo, the Sea Life aquarium and the Natural History Museum are sure things, with more in our family guide and museums for kids.

Something for the teenagers

Give the older ones room to roam with big views and street food, as our guide to London with teenagers sets out.

Something for the grandparents

Build in slower mornings at Kew Gardens or the museums, as our gentler pace guide suggests.

Staying together

A roomy base in the right spot keeps the peace. See our best areas to stay guide, and plan the rest with our trip planning guide.

Legendary hotels

London's grand hotels are destinations in themselves. The Ritz, Claridge's, The Connaught, The Dorchester and The Savoy set the standard. See more in our guides to luxury hotels and five-star hotels.

Fine dining

The city's best kitchens reward booking ahead. Our guide to fine dining in London points you to the tables that matter.

Shopping and quiet luxury

For grand calm, polished streets and the best of British retail, base yourself in Mayfair. Pair it with the city's great attractions for the full first-class day.

Plan it well

Luxury is in the details and the timing. Our trip planning guide helps you get them right. Travelling as a group? See multigenerational London.

Slow sightseeing

Trade crowds for calm. A morning at Kew Gardens or a riverside stroll from our best walks guide sets an easy rhythm, and the parks are never far.

Culture without the crush

Go early or late and the great rooms empty out. The National Gallery and the wider museums are free, quiet first thing, and full of places to sit.

Comfortable, well-placed bases

Staying central cuts the walking. Leafy, calm and close to the museums, the areas in our best areas to stay guide suit a relaxed trip, with more in the best hotels.

Take the easy route

Buses and black cabs save the stairs, as our accessible London guide explains, and our notes on getting around fill in the rest. Travelling as a family? See multigenerational London.

Getting around step-free

Every London bus is low-floor and wheelchair accessible, which often makes them easier than the Tube, though a growing number of stations are step-free too. Licensed black cabs take wheelchairs as standard. Our guide to getting around London covers the options.

Accessible attractions

The big museums are among the most accessible places in the city, with lifts and step-free routes throughout. The Natural History Museum and the British Museum are good examples, and you can plan more from our attractions guide.

Where to stay

Many central hotels offer accessible rooms, but book directly and confirm the details. Start with our pick of the best hotels and the guide to the best areas to stay.

Plan a gentler trip

A step-free visit and a slower one often go hand in hand. For more in that spirit, see London at a gentler pace and our wider trip planning guide.

Big views and bragging rights

Height impresses at any age. The Shard gives the highest view in town, and there are more options in our attractions guide.

Street food and markets

Let them graze. Camden Market and Brick Lane serve street food with plenty of character, and the full set is in our markets guide.

Something with an edge

A little thrill goes a long way. The London Dungeon is good fun, and even reluctant teens warm to the Natural History Museum.

Give them a little freedom

Hand over an Oyster card and a meeting time and let them explore a safe patch on their own. For the practicalities, see getting around London. Travelling as a wider family? Read multigenerational London.

Why London suits going alone

The city is friendly to lone visitors, the great museums are free, and a single traveller can change plans on a whim. For your first few days, our first-time visitor tips and first time in London itinerary are the place to begin.

What to do on your own

Solo days are perfect for galleries and long walks. Spend a morning in the museums, then follow one of the best walks in London. Markets are easy company too, as our markets guide shows.

Where to stay alone

A small, central base beats a big anonymous hotel when you are by yourself. See our boutique hotels and the rundown of the best areas to stay.

Getting around

The Tube and buses make a car pointless, and walking fills in the rest. Our guide to getting around London has the practical detail. Travelling with others next time? See multigenerational London.
