\nDay 1: Buckingham Palace, Royal History & the London Eye<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/mark>Our adventure began at the iconic\u00a0Buckingham Palace, where we watched the\u00a0Changing of the Guard Ceremony. Taking place at\u00a011:00 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, this grand display of precision, colorful uniforms, and lively music is a tradition not to be missed. The best part? It\u2019s\u00a0completely free to watch. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes early to get a good viewing spot, as the area gets crowded quickly.<\/p>\n
Next, we headed to the\u00a0King\u2019s Gallery <\/mark>( which was formerly known as Queens Gallery) and is just few steps away from Buckingham Palace, a must-visit for art lovers. With the Go City Pass, entry was included, and we explored royal art collections, historic portraits, and exhibitions that brought British history to life. The best part, there\u2019s free audio tour for both kids and adults and honestly this was the best way to make museums interesting for kids.<\/p>\n
Right next door is the Royal Mews, home to the royal carriages and horses. The highlight for the kids was seeing the magnificent Gold State Coach, used for coronations. There\u2019s also a small activity area where children can color and draw, along with a dress-up station for both kids and adults to try on uniforms and step into the role of a royal guard.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.eazynazy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_5395-e1772086870576-848x1024.jpg\" "\\"Screenshot\\"")

No London itinerary is complete without afternoon tea. We enjoyed a luxurious\u00a0afternoon tea experience at Taj Buckingham Palace, savoring pastries, sandwiches, and tea in a royal-inspired setting. Honestly their tea felt like a lunch with so many options to eat and free refills on sandwiches. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.eazynazy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_5388-scaled-e1772086906953-1024x951.jpg\" "\\"IMG_5388\\"")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
You can either walk or take a Train\/Taxi to this place. We visited\u00a0Westminster Abbey\u00a0using our Go City Pass. This historic church, known for royal weddings and coronations, is a must-see. The architecture is magnificent. This is the place where Prince William and Kate got married and where famous scientists like Isaac Newton, Stephen Hawking\u00a0<\/em>are resting. From here, we admired the beauty of\u00a0Big Ben\u00a0and the Houses of Parliament.<\/p>\n
For our scheduled evening attraction, we headed to the\u00a0London Eye. Instead of walking, we hopped on a rickshaw ride (\u00a320 for four people), which was fun and convenient. The panoramic views from the London Eye at sunset were breathtaking, and it was the perfect way to wrap up our first day.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.eazynazy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_5385-683x1024.jpg\" "\\"IMG_5385\\"")

\nDay 2: Shopping, History & Tower Bridge<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Harrods is one of the popular shopping center in the entire world and this was something which we wanted to check it off from our bucket list and hence we started our day with a luxurious breakfast at\u00a0Harrods, indulging at the stylish\u00a0Prada Caf\u00e9. This place is huge and has many restaurants, cafes and all the luxurious brands under one roof. Shopping here is an experience in itself, even if you\u2019re just browsing. If you are not into expensive dining options, there\u2019s plenty of restaurants and cafes right outside the Harrods. <\/p>\n
We took a train to St. Paul\u2019s Cathedral a famous one for its dome and whispering gallery. This place looked unreal , the architecture , painting and every detail was something we haven\u2019t seen before. Entry was included with our Go City All inclusive Pass, and the view from the top was worth every step. Audio tour for both kids and adults is included with your pass. <\/p>\n
Next, we explored the historic\u00a0Tower of London, home of the Crown Jewels and centuries of royal history. This stop was a big hit with the kids, who loved learning about knights and stories of the past and also got to see the in famous kohinoor Diamond . A must visit if you really want to see the jewels of the Royals. <\/p>\n
Our scheduled attraction was the\u00a0Tower Bridge Glass Walk, where my kids were surprised to learn the London bridge which they thought was actually called Tower Bridge and where we walked across the transparent floor high above the River Thames. It was thrilling, educational, and was included in our pass.<\/p>\n
\nDay 3: River Adventures & Skyline Views<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n
We started the morning with a peaceful\u00a0boat ride in Little Venice, a beautiful and quieter part of London. The ride was included in the Go City all inclusive Pass and provided a nice change of pace.<\/p>\n
From there, we headed to\u00a0The Shard, London\u2019s tallest building. The views from the observation deck were absolutely stunning and gave us a new perspective of the city. The most exciting thing for my kids here was to learn about the construction of the shard and what techniques were involved to built it. <\/p>\n
Afterward, we hopped on an\u00a0Uber Boat\u00a0to explore London\u2019s\u00a0new and old financial districts. Cruising along the Thames allowed us to see the city from another angle while learning about its mix of modern and historic architecture. Tickets to the uber boat was included in our Go City all inclusive pass.<\/p>\n
For dinner, we boarded the\u00a0Bustronome, a fine-dining bus that took us around the city in the evening while serving a gourmet meal. It was an unforgettable experience combining sightseeing and dining. If you want to see the highlights of the City, then you should check this out. <\/p>\n

\nDay 5: Museums & Modern London<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Our final day in London was dedicated to the\u00a0British Museum, which can easily take up a whole day. From the Rosetta Stone to Egyptian mummies, the collection here is world-class. This place is huge and can take a week to explore each and every exhibit. But if I had to recommend one, then definitely check out Egyptian exhibit which holds mummies from B.C. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.eazynazy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/IMG_5387-900x1024.jpg\" "\\"IMG_5387\\"")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
In the evening, we explored\u00a0Canary Wharf, London\u2019s modern business hub with futuristic skyscrapers and then we ended the day in\u00a0Southall, also known as \u201cLittle India,\u201d where the food, shops, and culture reminded us of home. <\/p>\n
