I spent a lot of time learning about the Underground before I went on my trip. I learned about the Oyster card and paying fares, the many different tube lines, and which stops I would need for my activities. I'm so very glad that I did that in advance. When I was there I had no trouble getting on the trains I needed. Some of the stations are deep underground and require some walking so a few times there was some uncertainty as to whether or not I was going the right way but I found the stations were always very well marked which I appreciated.

One of the tips I always share with people who will be visiting London is to make sure you group your activities for the day in the same area of the city. Since London is such a huge city, it can take a long time to get around it so you don't want to be spending a lot of your time traveling from one end to the other. I grouped Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace together, some museums together that were a few tube stops apart or within walking distance of each other, museum and shopping activities in Knightsbridge were grouped together. I grouped visiting Tower Bridge, Tower of London, Sky Garden, and Tate Modern together into one day. Doing this made the trip so much easier.

My own tip...Speaking as someone with mobility issues..
Remember that not only is London big...it is OLD. Which means STAIRS...

.... Lots and lots of stairs..

Not everywhere you want to go is going to be fully accessible, that includes attractions (for instance getting to Tower Bridge from the Tower of London or vice-versa requires a bit of a roundabout route), transportation (as I found out on my first visit and got off the Circle line at Gloucester Road Station....which has no lift for the Circle and District lines. Thank you to the lovely people of Kensington that helped me navigate the stairs), and even some of the older hotels. (Hotel Montana in South Kensington HIGHLY recommend..lovely hotel...TINY lift. It fits a wheelchair, but it's a tight squeeze)
If you use wheelchair, cane, or walker, make sure any tube stations you might be using have "Step Free" access, as TFL refers to mobility accessible stations. And check websites for any older castles such as Kensington Palace and Windsor, etc.. as to what is and isn't accessible.
If you do get into a jam, don't be afraid to ask even strangers for assistance. Londoners as a whole are lovely people who I've found from personal experience will bend over backwards to help you out.
Don't let any of this stop you from going, though. London's AMAZING, even if you do it on wheels, rather than on foot.
Cheers, mates! Happy Travels!

Great insight. Your videos are some of my go-to’s for travel info!

[cijmo]

Great video! My advice is to find out if you need to book a time for places. There are some free places (Sky Garden and Mithraeum for instance) that are free but are timed entrance. Others, it's not a timed entrance but book your tickets...even from across the street on that very day. My other advice is, there are many vantage points, not just the Eye but also there is a lot underground. Mithraeum & amptheatre both in the City of London. There are also canals and (though closed for renovations, I don't know when this is being read) Rotherhithe tunnel.

Good video! Such useful tips. Thank you!!

Staying south of the river is great, especially next to bus stops or tube stations. We prefer to book directly through the hotel and choose a room with a kitchenette over a private rental property. It's just the two of us. TIP: Look for a credit card with no foreign transaction fees.

The "golden statue" at the Queen Victoria Memorial is a gilded bronze WInged Victory, not Queen Victoria. There is a marble statue of her on the memorial.

There's no "Maria Chapel" inside Westminster Abbey: you're talking about the Lady Chapel.

Restrooms in St James park? Why? Do people go to that park in London to rest themselves?

[Jmcc]

Not the best guide. Not written by a local. Section on Buckingham Palace is labelled Kensington Palace, which is elsewhere. London Eye is a long wait and expensive. A walk up Whitehall past Downing Street and into Horseguards would be better. You would have to be seriously rich to stay in a Mayfair hotel.

Roughest city in Europe culture not English. You can't give a 5 star hotel trip away in a charity raffle

Come to London, I guarantee you'll either be mugged or not appreciated.
