Got 2 hours? Can you walk? I can show you London!

[Lsquared]

I have visited London several times and I have lived there for a while. This used to be my morning, afternoon, night or 'showing London to my friends" walking route. I used to start from Hamstead and depending on how much time I had or what ny visitors would like I would extend it accordingly! It is the best way to see most of London's attractions and get your first feeling of London's life!

Let's start from Primrose Hill:You can get there from Belsize Park Tube station it is a 10 minute walk! You can see the whole London. The view is fabulous!

Walk down the hill towards Regent’s park (5-10 minutes)You will end up on the northern part of Regent’s park close to the London’s Zoo (You will see the Giraffes’ heads!) Walk through Regent’s Park or get a Barclay’s Bike to ride towards the south! (There are specific routes that you are allowed to ride on a bike and some that you are not).No matter which exit you take you are going to be close to Baker’s street Tube station. 221b Baker Street is on your right! (The Sherlock Holmes Museum).

Continue south, all the way down Baker Street (10 minutes) and you will end up to Oxford Street. On your left is Selfridges famous departments store and on your right Marks and Spencer. Turn left and walk through crowded oxford street.If you feel hungry or need a refreshment, just before Bond Street Tube station turn on your left to find St. Christopher’s place!

Continue until you reach Regent Street and turn right (Oxford Circus Tube Station)! If you have children with you they will stop you for sure at Hamley’s toy store (on your left) while you walk towards Piccardily Circus!

Next stop will be Leicester Square (you can pass through China Town)From Leicester Square walk down Charring Cross Road towards Thames River (15minutes). On your right you will see The National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery by the Trafalgar Square! Continue towards Westminster Tube Station. You will also pass Downing Street (on your right side) where the Prime Minister's official residence is.A few more minutes of walk and you have reached The House of Parliament, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and London Eye. Turn back towards Green Park to see Buckingham Palace (15minutes).

This walk is mostly for daytime that the parks are open for the public but can be modified for night (walk outside the parks or instead of going through Regent’s park go through Camden Town and see famous Camden Market.
