Planning your first trip to London can be an exciting event to look forward too. There is so much to see in this city that never sleeps between historic sights and shows and evenings out in bars and clubs you will be hard pushed to see everything on your first visit.
The City Airport has direct public links into the city itself either by bus or the DLR network which is a light railway network which offers a speedy way into the centre. No need to panic about tickets for the train as they can be purchased after you have landed but before you board the train.
The Metro is an ideal way to travel around this large city. Maps are available at each station showing travellers the coloured co-ordinated routes which all pass through the main tourists sites. You may need to switch destinations at stations in order to continue your journey around London. The change over stations are located on the map by circles around the area, please remember that the trains run from early morning until late evening.
Having been to London on a number of occasions we have walked around the city centre but would advise taking the metro as there is sometimes a long distance between each sight and you will become very tired walking around all day.
Heading off to visit one of the many theaters in the west end is a perfect treat for all the family to see and enjoy. Each night there are shows on all the venues including shows suitable for families. Advance purchase of tickets is advisable due to popular demand even on a school night. You can buy your tickets online before you travel or wait until you arrive in London .
Head down to the South Bank area of the Thames where you can sit back and enjoy your coffee while taking in the sights like the London Eye, Sea Life or venture out to Knights bridge area and see Harrods of Hyde Park area.
London can be expensive but with a little planning you can make use of the free sights combined with booking in advance for events will hopefully make your holiday manageable.
