Tips
Places to stop along the way
London is awash with incredible food and drink outlets, from award-winning restaurants to quaint and cosy pubs. Try Spanish sharing plates from London stalwart Tapas Brindisa in South Kensington, grab an ice cream or a slice of cake from the tearooms in Hyde Park, or treat yourself to the À La Carte menu at Dinner by Heston Blumenthal back at the hotel.
Best time of day
This tour can be enjoyed at any time of the day, but it’s advisable to avoid the museums’ busy hours around lunchtime. In the afternoon, the sun throws wonderful light across the parks.
Precautions
Like any major city, London is often busy with traffic, so be mindful when near main roads. While the capital is a very safe city, pickpocketing is not uncommon in touristic areas.
