London tourist places: Travel preparations
As we did last year with the trip to Paris in 4 days and the trip to Rome in a weekend, this year we still have that need to return to some European cities where we had already been and to which we really wanted to return
There is one of them that we had in mind for a long time, but it was always in the background because of the weather of the moment, since we hoped to meet her in her best moment or for not finishing the calendar with the days we wanted.
After having more or less planned trips for the summer, we decided that this year could not happen. So without much thought, we decided ...
London in 6 days
... that one of this year's getaways would be to enjoy theLondon tourist places!
Taking into account that we will travel in July and have more hours of sunshine, this will allow us to enjoy the city with some more tranquility, although as usual, we will try to squeeze the maximum time.
The arrival will be at Gatwick Airport, on July 26 at noon, so we hope to arrive at the Garden Court Hotel, our accommodation during the stay, first thing in the afternoon.
The hotel is located in the famous Notting Hill neighborhood, near the Portobello market and several parks, so we have already booked that afternoon to enjoy the area, walk and get closer to
Oxford Street, Regent Street, the Piccadilly area, Trafalgar Square and end up enjoying a sunset on the Thames from the Sky Garden, one of the places that readers have recommended most when we ask for advice on our Facebook page.

On the second day of this trip to London in 6 days we will approach Abbey Road, between Camden and Westminster, where we were not the previous times and for which, we will not deny, we have some curiosity to know.
From here we will go to the famous Camden Market, one of the tourist places in London, where we are sure we will spend several hours losing ourselves among places full of charm, and then we will go to Little Venice, in the district of Maida Vale, between two great channels, the Grand Union Canal and Regent's Canal.
From here we will continue the day walking through Soho and Carnaby Street, one of the most famous pedestrian streets in the world and one of the many things to see and do in London, located in this neighborhood and where we hope to spend the afternoon enjoying One of the most famous neighborhoods in the city.
And although we have just arrived from the trip to New York and therefore have been in his well-known Chinatown, we will not stop approaching the famous Chinatown of London, also located in Soho where you can find countless shops and restaurants and Chinese supermarkets

On the third day, after breakfast, we want to go to the British Museum, one of the tourist places in London, and after a quick visit, we were previously on another trip, go to Covent Garden, another place to visit in London that we don't want to miss and we are looking forward to going back and seeing how it has changed over the years.
After spending a few hours we will go to one of the most tourist areas of the city, not to mention the most, the Palace of Westmister, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye, where we want to climb to enjoy the spectacular London views from the heights.
After this visit we will approach Buckingham Palace and then stroll through St. James Park, one of our favorite parks in London, where we are safe, we will remember many of the moments lived in the city.

And of course, we cannot miss Oxford Street, Regent Street, Picadilly Circus, Leicester Square and Trafalgar Square, where although we have already been the first afternoon of our arrival, we are sure, we will be looking forward to returning.

The afternoon we want to dedicate to the area of the Tower of London, the London Bridge, St. Paul's Cathedral, Millennium Bridge and another market, Leadenhall Market, which wonders.

These last hours we want to dedicate them to walk, enjoy the city, return to places that we have already seen but that we want to repeat ... In short, say goodbye with a "bye"from one of the cities we most wanted to return to and where we will be in just a few days.
