London Itineraries for Every Trip Length
Whether you have one day or a full week, these London itineraries help you plan your time by area, walking distance, and realistic daily pace.
London is easier when you plan by area, not by attraction. Choose your trip length first, then build each day around nearby places.
Start with 3 days for the best balance of landmarks, neighbourhoods, and local stops.
Use the 1-day or 2-day plans to focus on Westminster, South Bank, and central London.
Choose 4 or 5 days if you want museums, markets, parks, and less rushing.
The 7-day plan gives you room for Greenwich, Hampstead, Shoreditch, and relaxed exploring.

Not every London trip should be planned the same way. Use this simple guide to choose the right route before you start building your days.
Plan by area, not by attraction.
London looks smaller on a map than it feels on foot. The easiest way to enjoy the city is to group nearby places together. Westminster, South Bank, and Covent Garden work well together. Notting Hill and Kensington make a calmer day. Greenwich deserves its own slower visit.
