What you’ll do

This London family itinerary is designed for first-time visitors who want to hit all the city’s iconic spots, while still making time to get out of the city.

We’ll cover iconic landmarks like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, The Crown Jewels, and Westminster Abbey—balanced with playgrounds and parks, and all packed into an exciting (but doable!) 72 hours.

After three days in the city you'll have 3 day trips out of it! You can also switch up the order if you don't want three train days in a row.

Day 1: London

I like to start at Big Ben to snap a family picture to document the day before potential meltdowns happen 🙂 There’s something about being right in the center of London, next to the iconic clock tower that kicks off the magic of your London trip!

Broadway Show:

I’d highly recommend seeing a Broadway show while you’re in London! You can opt for a night show which usually starts around 7pm, or a mid day show at 2 pm. My favorites are Hamilton and Wicked!
