Westminster
Start with the landmarks that define a first visit: Parliament, royal history, important national buildings and parkland beside the Thames.
Three days in London
This route gives each day a different character: ceremonial London, West End atmosphere and a final Thames-side day around Borough and Tower Bridge.
Why this route works
The journey moves gradually east rather than jumping between opposite sides of London. Each day adds something new without repeating the same type of experience.
Start with the landmarks that define a first visit: Parliament, royal history, important national buildings and parkland beside the Thames.
Spend the second day in London’s theatrical centre. Covent Garden combines the Piazza, markets, specialist museums, historic streets and an evening-performance option within one compact area.
Finish farther east beside the Thames. Borough Market, historic Southwark, modern skyline views and Tower Bridge give the final day food, history and recognisable London landmarks.
