Explore new things the local way in London in 24 hours! From starting with breakfast in a market and finishing with drinks in a trendy gin bar, there are plenty of incredible things to do in London in a day! Below you can explore some unique recommendations for what to do in London in a day to tick off your bucket list. Morning: Breakfast and the markets Discover a city that was built on the merchant trading markets along the Thames over a scrumptious full English breakfast, then head to the markets to see how little has changed. There are loads of squares with smaller specialist stalls, and huge areas where markets are still the way of life. Explore the foodie haven of Borough, or the mishmash of alternative London in Camden where you’ll soon find weird and wonderful is the new normal. Afternoon: Lunch and a bike ride Pick up a “Boris Bike” from one of the easy rentals stands to explore the leafy neighborhoods. London is surprisingly small, and you’ll easily take in much of the city in an afternoon, or take to the streets on foot. Have a picnic lunch in Hyde Park, visit Poet’s Corner and follow the footprints of Royalty or popular film stars through trendy South London. Evening: Dinner and live comedy or a show Take your pick of Michelin star restaurants or enjoy fine-dining by local chefs like Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver. After dinner, it’s time to explore the creative streets around Leicester Square and Shaftsbury Avenue for the perfect live comedy, musical or theatre show. You may like to have a drink at a trendy gin bar, or head to a cozy pub for a few beers after.

Fantastic!
Anthony guided my wife and I around London for several hours entertaining and enlightening us with some of its wonderful history and more unique areas. We tasted extraordinary food from vendors at Borough Market. We checked out St. Paul's and Southwark Cathedrals. Then visited Shakespeare's favorite pub, saw Sir Francis Drake's ship, and Clink prison. These are only a few of the many highlights. The three hours flew by. It was a great day spent with an excellent tour guide. Anthony gets my highest recommendation. I have used WithLocals many times and will continue to do so.

Perfect overview of London
Just spent the afternoon with Anthony and couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more! Anthony is highly knowledgeable and clearly loves his city. We saw many different sites and enjoyed his stories describing several neighborhoods of London. Our tour was at the perfect pace and we had a really wonderful time … highly recommend Anthony as a guide and would gladly book another tour with him on our next visit.
