Accessibility information

• Most of the central London locations are close to each other and easy to reach on foot or by public transport.
• I wouldn’t recommend driving in central London, as parking is limited and can be very expensive. The vast majority of locations are step-free accessible; you’ll find more details on the individual location pages. There are also plenty of places to sit, with seating and benches in and around these areas—so make the most of them!
• I’ve recommended a few stops around each location below for bites to eat and other things to explore, so there’s something for everyone.

Best times to visit

• There’s no single best time to visit, as the ideal arrival time varies by location. As a rule of thumb, try to avoid public transport in central London during weekday peak hours (7:00–9:00 AM and 5:00–6:30 PM), as it can get very busy with commuters.
• Many of these locations are major tourist spots, so in the height of summer you can expect crowds and lots of families. If you’re doing the central London tour on a weekend, be mindful of opening hours for places like the British Museum, though public transport should be quieter.
• Keep up to date on public transport in central London by using the TfL go app it's free and will also give you recommended routes and tube lines to use between each location. If you're planning to walk City Mapper and Google Maps are really useful and often will give you the most optimum routes.
