Spending your weekends in London is quite exhilarating and definitely worthwhile. All the city’s splendor is sure to excite your senses. Speaking of which, let us get all those sensory nerves up and about as we make the most of a long weekend in London, England.

Sights

Touring the entire city of London can take so much time that it’s a good idea to get into an open, double-decker bus for a better view of the metropolis. If you want to be saved from all the trouble of getting around the city, purchasing a London Pass is a superb remedy. The Pass offers an array of 55 best tourist attractions and travel on buses and the London Underground which will cost you £40 a day.

Sounds

There is also some variety to London music that can be heard, ranging from street buskers in Covent Garden to the enticing music played by the London Symphony Orchestra. Ronnie Scott’s Jazz located at Frith Street in Soho is a good place for lovers of jazz music. There are also world-class performances at the Royal Opera House in the Covent Garden which can really be a treat especially for dating couples.

Smells

Tourists may bump into the exotic scent of Brick Lane which is home for a good number of Bangladeshis. The essence of incense creeping through an open entrance of a home, as well as the spicy aroma of a curry can make one feel like being in Asia than in Europe.

Touch

There are a couple of fascinating museums in London. Typical choice is the Science Museum in Exhibition Road, SW7 where kids are left to make models in workshops. The general public can also indulge themselves with the user-friendly exhibits in the museum.

Taste

Spend your long weekend in London by tasting city food. Satisfying your palate is no trouble at all in London. In fact, there is a place in the city that even locals barely know of and this is Adam Street just off the Strand. The building situated in a town house from the 18^th century, was an inspiration for Oliver Twist’s Fagin’s den.

A long weekend in London is more than meets the eye. A mix of old school London destinations with alternative tour stops can really make London a swell place to visit.
