Got just a few hours between flights, or a short stopover in London? Here is how to see the best of the city quickly, with the transport sorted.
First, the transport
Speed is everything. Check the fastest route from your airport in our guides, from Heathrow to Gatwick, and how to get around.
A half-day highlights loop
From Westminster, see Big Ben and the Abbey, walk the river past the London Eye, and finish at Trafalgar Square. It is a compact, walkable taste of London.
If you have longer
With a full day, add a free museum or a viewpoint from our best views guide. Short on time overall? See London in one day.
