What we love about London
Operations Senior Team Leader
London is a vibrant city, bustling with life and colors. I love how multicultural it is and how you can find literally everything here, from parks, deers, squirrels, and wildlife to modern buildings and business centers. I love how everyone goes from being the most professional worker ever, so serious, to drinking together at the pubs everywhere on Friday evening. It's a city to be lived and not just visited.
Operations Executive
London is an endless story. Vibrant, eclectic, energetic, vivid, accepting, inviting, fluid, busy; a city that never sleeps. Think of something and you can find it. London is one of these few places that doesn't stop surprising nor entertaining me, and I've kept going back to it. I just can't get enough!
Team Leader for Central Europe & Baltic Region
London is a city that really speaks for itself and I think it paints a different picture for each visitor. I liked its fast pace and ever-present liveliness. There is so much to see that after the third visit I can say that I feel that I have gained a little sense of this city, but I am always glad to be able to return to the capital of England!

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to London
How many days should I spend in London?
For a first-time visit, we recommend staying 3 to 5 days. This gives you enough time to see iconic sights like the Tower of London and Big Ben, visit world-class museums, and explore diverse neighborhoods without feeling rushed. If you want to include day trips to places like Windsor or Stonehenge, plan for 5 to 7 days.
How do I get around London?
The easiest and fastest way to travel is by using the Tube (underground subway) and London's iconic red buses. You do not need a special ticket; simply tap on and off at station gates using your contactless bank card, phone, or an Oyster card. For a scenic route, you can also use the Uber Boat river bus.
Is London safe?
Yes, London is generally very safe for travelers. Like any major city, the main risk is petty crime such as pickpocketing and phone snatching, especially in crowded tourist areas and on public transit. Stay aware of your surroundings, keep your valuables secure, and stick to well-lit areas at night.
What are some must-sees in London?
Any London itinerary should include exploring the historic Tower of London, viewing the Crown Jewels, and marveling at architectural icons like Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace. For unparalleled city views, take a ride on the London Eye. Culture enthusiasts should not miss world-renowned, free-to-visit museums and galleries, like the British Museum and Tate Modern, alongside a relaxing stroll through Hyde Park.
When is the best time to visit London?
The best time to visit London is during the spring (late March to June) or autumn (September to November). During these months, the weather is mild, the city’s parks are beautiful, and crowds are smaller than in the summer months. If you prefer long, warm days and lively outdoor festivals, though, visit in summer, while winter is ideal for festive Christmas markets and lower hotel prices.
Where do I exchange money in London?
You rarely need cash in London, as almost all businesses, including buses, taxis, and market stalls, prefer contactless card payments or mobile apps. If you do need physical currency, avoid the expensive exchange kiosks at airports and major train stations, and visit reputable high-street money changers like Thomas Exchange Global or Covent Garden FX for the best rates. Instead, withdraw small amounts from a local bank ATM using your debit card, ensuring you choose to be charged in the local currency (Pounds/GBP) rather than US Dollars if the ATM asks, as this gives you a much better exchange rate from your own bank.
