If you're visiting London for at least three days
These are in my opinion these things that you must do while you're here
And by the way, if you're new here
I'm Jess and I make videos for people who are coming to visit London first off start with the London classics
Even if you're one of those people that wants to get more off the beaten path when you're in London
I think everybody still wants to at least see some of those most famous attractions like the London Eye and Tower Bridge
They are absolutely amazing to see from the outside
If you're on a budget even just seeing them from the outside is great or of course
You can purchase tickets and go into almost anything that is around the city
One of my favourite British Traditions is afternoon tea, so
I would definitely try to take it while you're in London afternoon tea consists of well
Obviously you get your choice of hot tea but you'll also get three tiers of snacks and treats starting with sandwiches
Usually at the bottom of the tiered tray
Then you'll get nice hot scones with cream and jam in the middle. And on the top will be your sweet treat
it's really fun and
Also, very filling so do not eat before or after you have afternoon tea
There are options all around London for getting tea for all types of budgets and there's also lots of themed ones
So if you want to do something a little bit different, then you'll be able to find something that you love
If you're into museums London has tons of them and the great part about this city is that lots of them have free
Entrance if you like modern art, I would recommend trying out the Tate Modern or if you like artwork, that's a bit older
There's also the National Portrait Gallery, which is in Trafalgar Square
people who love history usually end up loving the Churchill war rooms and there are tons of smaller niche museums like the
photography gallery
London has tons of great markets
You'll definitely want to visit one while you're here Borough market of course is the most famous one
It's definitely worth a visit but there's plenty of other smaller food and drink
There's but there are plenty of other markets. I would recommend checking out Maltby, okay?
Borough Market is of course the most famous market in London
It's definitely worth a visit but there are plenty of other smaller ones that are worth a visit to a couple of my favorites include
Maltby Market, which is located in Bermondsey and also old Spitalfields market, which is in Spitalfields
London skyline is absolutely beautiful
So it definitely recommends heading to one of the city's many viewpoints so you can see it from above the most famous
Viewpoints in the city include places like the London Eye and of course the shard which is the tallest viewing point in the EU
but there are plenty of alternatives the Tate Modern actually has a free viewing platform on the tenth floor and the sky garden is another
beautiful option for a great view over the city
Of course those two places aren't as high as the shard but they're still fantastic and they're free to visit
people who visit London are always surprised at how green the city is and
Londoners are so good at taking advantage of all the green spaces here, even when the weather isn't as good
So even if you're here in the winter and you get a cloudy or rainy day
Definitely check out one of the parks here a couple of suggestions from me is st
James's Park
which is the one that we're in right now and is not far from Buckingham Palace and first stars parade and there's also
The Victoria Tower Gardens, which is what people don't ever usually see even though it's right next to these houses of parliament
But it's a great place to sit and relax and also it has a nice view of the London Eye
If you want to go shopping while you're in London and pick up some good souvenirs
Then there are plenty of options in the city if you want to shop local and boutique
There's a great alternative souvenir store that I love called we built this city
That's a great option or if you want you can go to one of the many famous department stores
You have here like Liberty London and Selfridges and pick up something special from one of those places
Finally, if you love vintage you'll want to go to the East End of London where you will find tons of great vintage shops
