London is not one city but many, and the trick is finding the version that fits the way you travel. Visiting alone feels nothing like arriving with three generations in tow, and a first-class weekend asks different questions from a step-free one. These guides match the city to you, so you can plan around the people you are with rather than a generic list of sights.
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.
