Autumn is a lovely time to visit London, after the stuffy heat of summer has gone and before the frantic busyness of the festive period.

London may be an expensive city, but there are plenty of places to visit for free. If you’re traveling with kids, however, all the headline historical sites and culture-packed art galleries aren’t likely to hold their attention for long. Fortunately, London has some spots that are perfect for little ones. Here’s a guide to the best free things to do in London that kids will love.
At first glance, London might not seem like the best city for drinking alfresco. The streets are brimming with top bars and cozy pubs, but where do you go for a pint when the sun is shining? The rooftops, of course.
Fashionable Notting Hill is one of London’s most iconic neighborhoods. Best known as the home of the world’s second biggest carnival (after Rio’s Mardi Gras) and the famous Portobello Road Market, this area is also a serious destination for culture buffs and those in search of a quintessential London experience.
Picture the scene: you’re on a busy train on the London Underground when you accidentally step on someone’s foot. Your fellow traveller mumbles an inexplicable apology, and you respond by making eye contact and initiating a conversation. Silence envelops the carriage and everyone’s gaze drops to the floor, while the other person pulls the face of someone who’s been told they have seven seconds to live. Five seconds ago.
After a good night’s sleep, you’ll be feeling fresh and energized for the day ahead! Chow down on a hearty breakfast and get ready to explore. A great place to eat is within one of London’s trendy little cafe’s on Kings Road. Tom’s Kitchen is a firm favourite, where they’ll serve breakfast no matter what time it is! 🙂
London has plenty in the way of must-see sights and instantly recognizable landmarks, however, hidden down the side streets and tucked away in urban backwaters is a scattered collection of equally fascinating, lesser-known highlights. Delve beyond the London of the postcards and discover an excitingly unfamiliar side to this great city.
Given the various calamities that have befallen London over the last two thousand years, it’s remarkable that any of it exists today at all. This is a city that’s been ravaged by fire, ridden with plague, and bombed to rubble. It’s encountered the wrath of angry locals, bloodlust from Vikings, and more rebellions and riots than you can shake a pigeon at. Consequently, not only has London endured, but it’s often done so curiously intact, with architectural clues to its storied past scattered just about everywhere.
My fondness for London during the Christmas season is profound. The chilly winter air, warm mulled wine from the city’s festive markets, and the enchanting London Christmas markets scattered throughout make this city magical.
