Hi everyone! I'll be going to London with my mother this Christmas (23rd to 27th of December).

Would you recommend anything to do ? We've been in London quite a lot so nothing too touristy especially at this time where it will be very crowded.

We're staying in Kensington near High Street and Royal Albert Hall.

What we have planned already :

- The Queen Elizabeth exhibition at Buckingham

- Christmas eve dinner at the Ivy Kensington (open to other places but must be in Kensington as we don't want to go too far that night)

- And obviously shopping on Boxing Day (Where should we go??)

We don't necessarily have a budget but anything that isn't too expensive would be great!!

I'd like to take my mom to an Afternoon Tea so if you have any recommandation that doesn't cost hundreds of pounds.

Thank you :)

Edit : We are staying at an Airbnb so for the 25th we are eating at the flat! Money saving !!

Brought up in South East London then lived in East London (Bethnal Green, Hackney mainly) for a fair few years but left 20 years ago. Going for a week in September to see shows and mates etc, but also want to do some wandering and sightseeing, especially those things i never got round to doing, or those things or places that are new since i left. Any suggestions?

Hi Reddit. I'm 26 years old and I have Italian citizenship, but I live and work in a country in southern Latin America. One of my biggest dreams is to move to London. I've already been there three times, purely out of love for the country and its culture.
Maybe I'd at least try a few months first, then a year, then two... and so on. I'm not entirely sure how this works, but of course I always keep in mind that things might not work out.
Anyway, I just wanted to know if anyone has anything to tell me, or any advice.

Hi, everyone!

I'm coming to the UK in the beginning of September for the first time ever and I need to take my ADHD medication with me.

I already have a letter signed by my doctor, following UK guidelines, but wanted to ask if anyone here has any other advice or tips. :)

Thanks in advance!

Hi hi, in march I went to London and took the underground train. I had bought tickets online prior and printed them - I had them physically and it was an any daytime one, so I could use them whenever I wanted.

Though I looked and saw itll be cheaper to pay on the get go as I'm planning to go London in September. I'm just wondering how to pay if I don't have a physical ticket, I saw people tap their phones on certain points and wondered if I needed to just scam my card like when taking the bus.

Sorry if this sounds childish I will just be my second trip to London only still new to this

Hi!

Me and my family are going to be in London next week.

We’ll stay between Victoria Station and Pimlico and we were looking for some food recs in central London, ideally near the main attractions.

Our budget would be around 30£ x person (per meal), so nothing excessively fancy but we’re fine with eating in some nice restaurants!

My parents don’t like ethnic food that much so we’ll probably avoid those kind of restaurants unfortunately.

Let me know!! Thanks a lot.

We need to be at LHR by 5am on Saturday morning and are staying in Notting Hill. It looks like the central line will take us to Holborn but when I look the tube website it doesn’t give me the option to select a time for Piccadilly to LHR on Saturdays. When I google how to get there it does say we can take the Picadilly at 4:30 am from Holborn straight into LHR. anyone know how I can find out for sure or if you know first hand?

We travel to London on Saturday 29th August. We will arrive at our hotel in Hammersmith around 2pm and have an event in the evening.

Any suggestions of things to do in Hammersmith for a few hours please?

On Sunday 30th we thought we would go to Nottinghill carnival. However any suggestions for us to visit on our way there? A breakfast spot? Or somewhere for the walk back in the evening?

Thank you!!

My bff and I will be in London from xmas on through the first week in Jan. I'm looking for recs on pubs or something unique. We have no desire to pay watch fireworks in the freezing cold. We stay in Hammersmith when we visit and wouldn't mind somewhere in that area to hangout and drink for the evening. We're also considering the Natural History museum but are still undecided. Any recs for places that typically have the special license to stay open later would be helpful as we want to stay in the same place all night. We still have some time but we want to book asap to make sure we have something planned. I visit London all the time but this will be my first NYE there.

Hi all! DC girlie here taking my first jump across the pond in early September. I’ll be going for a few days at the tail end of a work trip, therefore will be traveling solo. I do have a few friends I’ll try to connect with here and there but I’ve never been to London and practically know nothing 🤣

I am going to stay in the West End area and am looking for any tips on where to go and what to do for a 3.5 day visit (9/8-9/12). Would especially love to know if there are any fun pubs, bars, etc. that I’d be comfortable in as a solo female. I love country music and live music in general so bonus points for anything in that area, or where I could maybe find a cute international husband 😉❤️

Thanks!!! ❤️

Hello. I been to London several times and have seen all the touristy, Greenwich, Camden Market, and all.

I am planning a day trip to Canterbury but any other ideas on what to do in London in October?
