Consider yourself lucky if you can spend your entire week in London, England. It’s no joke to check out all that fancy tourist spots, West End shows, galleries, museums and dining places. But these are the things that’ll make your week in London worthwhile. There are hotels, tour operators and companies offering holiday packages that give visitors good deals for a great London holiday tour.

London sightseeing is definitely one of the great experiences a tourist can have. London has that universal appeal and it offers entertainment that is unparalleled. Going out in the wee hours will not leave you disappointed since the city is alive 24/7 which is perfect for singles and even for couples or families who want to bond.

Bus tours

Getting around the city underground is quicker but you might miss top London attractions above. But there’s no reason to fret since there are buses that can take you to these good sights. A guide book can be of assistance and the No. 11 bus is a good choice for a ride.

Trial

The biggest cases played out in London are in the magnificent Old Bailey. A tourist can catch a scene on one of these trials that allow public viewing. If you want to take a break, you can go to Newgate St. to Smithfield where you can find the William Wallace memorial at St. Bartholomew’s. Wallace was executed, including others in Smithfield which is a livestock market that hosed public executions centuries ago.

Markets

Complete your week in London by visiting the markets. Early mornings can be productive by visiting the Billingsgate Fish Market. You can witness here a tasty air and language. After stopping by the market, stroll across Thames over to the more classy Greenwich. You can have a good view of one of the astounding modern engineering pieces – the Thames Barrier – slightly down the river.

People

People watching is an alternative activity for tourists in London. This is an opportunity to have a closer view of how life is for Londoners. The Camden Market is a sight of vibrant life although it has become a usual tourist stop. Hampstead Heath in the north of London is considered a best place for people-watching.

Games

Though seasonal, it pays not to miss, if available, Britain’s national pastime – football. You might plan ahead of the game if you want to catch London’s Chelsea and Arsenal fight it out because tickets for this game is a bit hard to get and can be a little off budget.

Sundays on the Thames bank

The weather must be cooperative if you want to spend a week in London. Take a break beside the Thames, which is a better way to spend a Sunday rather than going to rivesrside pubs for a drink of ale. Londoners usually want to make the most out of their weekends and not worry much of work the next day.
