Where to Stay

Good to Know

Know

Use Contactless Transit

Tap in and out with a contactless card or phone for the Tube and buses; this is the simplest way to move around and automatically applies daily fare caps.

Know

Protect Your Phone

In crowded central areas, do not walk near the curb while checking maps; step into a doorway or shop before looking at your phone.

Know

Respect Queue Culture

Queueing is taken seriously at museums, pubs, stations, and restaurants, so always join the back and wait your turn.

Know

Plan Around Service Charge

Many restaurants add a 12.5% service charge automatically, so check the bill before tipping again.

Know

Favor Short Transit Hops

For this itinerary, group the day by neighborhood and use the Tube only when shifting between clusters like Westminster, South Bank, Soho, and Shoreditch.
