⭐ Must-see
★ 4.7
Tower of London
Book the 09:00 slot online — walk-ins queue 90 min at 11:00. Head straight to the Crown Jewels first (the queue inside triples by 10:30), then loop back for the White Tower.
Pici cacio e pepe, £12, best pasta plate in the city. No bookings — get on the digital waiting list on the app 30 min before you show up. Eat Borough Market snacks while you wait.
TipAny time · £12-25 · Borough
🍸 Rooftop bar
★ 4.5
Sky Garden
Free entry — but book online 2-3 weeks ahead or the door turns you away. Come 45 min before sunset. Buy one drink instead of the restaurant (a tenner) and get the same 360-degree view of the City.
TipSunset · £12 drink · Fenchurch St
📸 Viewpoint
★ 4.7
Primrose Hill
Best free skyline view in central London — the whole West End laid out, Shard on the right, BT Tower ahead. Bring a bottle and a jumper. Come 45 min before sunset.
Tip45 min before sunset · free · Camden
🍺 Pub · Tea
★ 4.6
The Churchill Arms
100+ hanging baskets on the outside. Front bar for a pint of Fuller's; the back conservatory is a genuinely excellent Thai restaurant — walk-in only, order the pad see ew.
TipBefore 18:00 · £6 pint · Kensington
💎 Hidden gem
★ 4.8
Dennis Severs' House
A Georgian townhouse frozen in an imagined 18th-century moment. Silent candlelight tour, coal fires, half-eaten meals on tables. Book the Silent Night evening slot — nothing else in London feels like this.

The story
9 years in London. This is what we actually do here.
Every pin is somewhere we've eaten, drunk, walked past on a Sunday, or told a visiting friend to skip. 100+ stops across 5 days — Padella's cacio e pepe (worth the 40-minute wait), Sky Garden's free 360 (book it two weeks ahead), Dishoom's bacon naan at the counter, Primrose Hill at 20:30 in July with the whole city below turning pink.
No stock photos. No "hidden gems" that are on the first page of Google. No filler. Just London, the way a Londoner would text it to you the night before you fly.

Pro-tier breakthrough
Skip every queue in London.
Every ticketed stop in your route ships with a direct link to the official booking site — not a third-party reseller — plus the exact queue you'll skip if you pre-book. The Tower of London queue alone eats 2 hours of your morning. Now it's zero.

3 Londoner hacks the guides skip
You save more than the guide costs on day 1.
💳
Contactless — not Oyster
Skip the Oyster card kiosks. Tap your bank card or phone in and out of every Tube, bus, DLR and Overground. Daily cap is £8.50. That's it.
🎨
Every big museum is free
British Museum, National Gallery, Tate Modern, Tate Britain, V&A, Natural History, Science Museum — all free entry. Book timed slots online to skip the door queue.
🌿
Sky Garden = free 360
London's highest public viewpoint is free. Book online 2-3 weeks ahead, buy one £12 drink instead of the £30 Shard ticket. Same skyline, tenth of the price.
4 dishes worth flying for
What to actually eat in London.
Forget the "London food is bad" myth from 2005. Book these four, or eat regular tourist food and be disappointed.
Bacon naan roll
Dishoom (any branch)
£8, morning-only, best breakfast in London
Pici cacio e pepe
Padella, Borough
£12, no bookings, digital queue on the app
Bone marrow + toast
St JOHN, Smithfield
The London kitchen everyone else copies
Afternoon tea
Fortnum & Mason, Piccadilly
£85, book 4 weeks ahead. Or Brown's Hotel (better food, £75)
Our advantage
Audio guide at every stop.
2-5 minutes per pin. Voiced by a real host. History + how to skip the crowd + what to order. Available in English, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, Español, Nederlands, Polski, Русский. Feels like a Londoner walking beside you.

Pick your London
First — 3 days or 5 days?
Each duration is a fully separate product with its own route, timings and PDF.
The full London — three variants. Basic gives you the map. Pro adds audio + rainy-day rebuild. Premium tailors it to your specific dates and interests.
Best value
5-day · Basic
The full London — 100+ places, 5-day plan.
€9.99
Who it's for: You're doing London properly — 5+ days, want depth across neighbourhoods without the £250/day guided-tour bill.
What's inside
✓ 100+ hand-picked places pinned (no tourist traps)
✓ Full 5-day walking itinerary — Westminster → South Bank → Museums → Notting Hill/Camden → East
✓ 20 restaurants with the specific dish to order
✓ 20+ historic pubs, tea rooms and afternoon tea spots
✓ 17 hidden gems most tourists never find
✓ 14 golden-hour viewpoints and photo spots
✓ Printable PDF with day-by-day summary
✓ Lifetime access — re-download anytime
Why this
30+ more curated places than the 3-day. Includes Notting Hill, Camden, Shoreditch, Greenwich — the neighbourhoods most 3-day trips skip.
Not this if
No audio, no rainy-day rebuild, no offline. If those matter → take Pro (+€5).
★ Most popular
5-day · Pro
Full London + audio at every stop + rainy-day rebuild + offline.
€9.99
Who it's for: You want the full London experience without the stress. A local voice at every landmark. A plan that fixes itself when it rains (statistically, it will).
What's inside
✓ Everything in 5-day Basic
✓ 🎧 2–5 min audio guide at every stop — history + insider tips + what to order
✓ 🌦 Rainy-day auto-reshuffle — wet morning? plan moves to museums + covered markets
✓ 📱 Offline mode — works on the Tube deep lines and without WiFi
✓ 🕒 One-tap re-time when you fall behind schedule
✓ 🔴 Live open/closed/renovation status for every stop
✓ 🎟 Direct links to official tickets (Tower, Abbey, Shard, Sky Garden)
✓ 🚻 Free-loo maps + Left Luggage lockers pinned
✓ ⚡ PWA install — opens like a native app on your phone
✓ 🔄 Free updates for life — new restaurants, seasonal picks
Why this
Most popular for a reason. The audio alone would cost £250/day with a human guide. Rainy-day rebuild means your London trip isn't ruined by three hours of drizzle.
Not this if
Not personalised to your specific dates or interests. If you want a tailored plan → take London Premium (+€5).
PREMIUM · TAILORED
London Premium
Everything in Pro + tailored to your travel dates and interests.
€9.99
Who it's for: You've booked flights. You want a plan that's actually yours — right dates, right interests, right pre-booked ticket slots.
What's inside
✓ Everything in 5-day Pro
✓ 🗓 Custom-fitted to your travel dates — seasonal picks (rooftops in July, Christmas markets in December)
✓ 🎯 Tailored to your interests — foodie / culture / budget / family / photography
✓ 🎫 Pre-selected ticket-booking slots that align with your custom route (Tower 09:00 slot on your Day 1, etc.)
✓ 💬 Priority support — 24-hour reply on any question before or during your trip
✓ 🔄 One free re-generation if your dates change
Why this
Turns a 'read someone else's plan' into 'read a plan built around you'. Priority support = you're not alone if something changes.
Not this if
Only makes sense if you have specific dates. If you're still deciding when to go, take 5-day Pro first.

Common questions
Answered honestly.
Isn't this just a paywalled Google Maps link?
No. 100+ hand-curated pins with first-person descriptions, 5 colour-coded day routes with walking times, audio at every stop, and a PDF book you can print. Not a link — a system.
Is it up to date?
Monthly refreshed. Last updated 2026-07. Free updates for life — every time we re-open the map, so do you.
Do I need an Oyster card?
No. Contactless bank card or phone tap in and out of any Tube, bus, DLR or Overground. Daily cap is £8.50. Kids under 11 free with an adult.
£10 for a link, really?
That's 5p per pin. The Sky Garden free-with-booking hack alone pays it back. If it doesn't save you the price of one meal, we refund it.
What if I change my plans?
Lifetime access. Come back in 3 years, the map is still there, updated.
How is this different from what I'll find on Google?
Every pin is somewhere we've actually been. Restaurants tested. Times of day walked. No 'hidden gems' that top the first Google result — actually hidden.
London. Without the stress.
100+ places. 7 ready routes. Audio at every stop. Delivered in 60 seconds. From €9.99.
