Now that our trip is complete I like to look back on how the planning process went. It is hard to believe how long the planning takes and the trip seems to just fly by. We were able to make the most of our family trip to London, England, and can't wait to share a few of our tips.

The London Pass
With the London Pass, we were thrilled it gave us access and many times Fast Track (the front of the line) to many attractions and saved us a bundle of money by not paying entrance at each place we visited. A few of the attractions on our must-see list included:
- Hop On Hop Off Bus Tour
- HMS Belfast
- Thames River Cruise (also hop on hop off)
- London Bridge Experience
- Westminister Abbey
- Kensington Palace
- Tower Bridge Exhibition
- Windsor Castle
- London Zoo
- Beefeater Gin Distillery Tour
- London Bicycle Tour
The London Pass has over 60 attractions tours and museums you can access along with discounts at many of the gift shops. I highly recommend installing the app on your phone so you can search for deals near you and easily navigate to your next destination. The guidebook is full of tips to help you navigate London and make the most of your experience.
We loved soaking in the surroundings and checking off iconic sites like Big Ben, The Coca-Cola London Eye, a telephone booth, and the many statues, fountains, and parks of the city. Once you leave your flat be prepared to be gone all day we highly recommend taking a backpack with a few essentials including raincoats, a power bank, charging cables, snacks, and water.
London, England Accommodations
The apartment we booked through FG Properties was conveniently located within a five-minute walk from an Underground station. Additionally, there was a market just around the corner, which was very convenient. The apartment was spacious enough to comfortably accommodate the four of us. The living room was very inviting and a great place to relax after a long day. Overall, I highly recommend using FG Properties for your next booking. We couldn't have asked for a better location to adjust to the time zone and start our family vacation.
London is ideal for adventurous tourists who enjoy walking, using public transportation, and discovering the city's many treasures.
