LONDON
London is spread out. Its major areas—Westminster, the Tower, the West End—don’t sit next to each other, and moving between them takes time if you don’t plan it properly.
This guide focuses on how to move through the city —how to structure your days, where to stay so you’re not constantly commuting, and how to see London without packing too much into each day.
