✨ Insider Suggestion
If you want a classic London day, start at Tower Bridge, walk along the Thames to the Tower of London, then take a river cruise to Westminster for the London Eye and Big Ben views.
Would you like me to also suggest a 3-day itinerary that balances history, culture, and modern attractions so you can experience London without feeling rushed?
