If you can, try visiting on a weekday instead of the weekend; it gets super crowded on weekends. I went on a Tuesday and barely had to wait for anything!

I recommend spending some time in the gardens; they’re beautiful and offer a nice break from the crowds. Just be mindful of the time to not miss your entry!

make sure to check the changing of the guard schedule. i missed it because i didn't factor in the time, and it was a bummer.

I suggest booking your tickets online in advance. I didn’t, and I ended up waiting in a huge line just to buy them at the entrance.

I suggest using public transport instead of driving; parking can be tricky and expensive.

If you’re going to a show, pick a seat in the lower level for a better experience; I sat higher up once, and it wasn’t as enjoyable.

Check the O2 website for dining deals before you go; many restaurants have discounts that you might miss otherwise.

Be sure to check out the nearby Borough Market. I didn't and missed out on some amazing street food. It’s a foodie’s paradise.

Take a stroll along the South Bank after exploring the bridge. The views of the Thames and city skyline are just stunning – I nearly missed this part!

My advice is to download a map of the area before you go. I got turned around a bit and it would have saved me time just having it on hand!

You might want to save your money for the food at street vendors, because I found the cafes near the bridge kinda overrated and overpriced. I was not impressed.

Don’t skip the climb to the Whispering Gallery. The views are great, but get ready for a workout – definitely worth it for the unique experience and cool acoustics!

If you’re on a budget, try to visit on a weekday. The ticket prices are the same, but weekends can get super busy and costs might add up with food and extras

Get there right when it opens at 8:30 AM. You’ll beat the crowds and have a quieter experience to really take in the beauty of the architecture.

Consider buying a combination ticket for St Paul’s and a few nearby attractions. I found it a great way to save some money and make the most of my day.

My advice is to bring a picnic. There are loads of nice spots to relax, and it saves you some cash instead of eating at pricey cafes.

I suggest visiting on a weekday. The weekends can get super crowded, and you’ll not get to enjoy the views as much.

I think you should wear comfy shoes because you'll be walking a lot. The park is huge and there's so much to see.

Don’t miss the Lee Valley VeloPark! Rent a bike for a few hours. It's a fun way to explore, and you’ll get to see some hidden parts of the park.
