London, the capital of England, is one of the cities that attract the most tourists in the world. Although you need at least three or four days to make a trip to London, it is possible to visit the important places in one day, on foot, without using the subway, bus or taxi. Because most of the places to see in London are gathered in the Westminster region, the center of London. In a day in this article, we briefly describe this route.
1 – Hyde Park
Hyde Park is the best stop to start your trip. I don’t know where you got on, but the name of the metro stop you need to get off in order to visit Hyde Park is Hyde Park Corner. After getting off at this stop, you can enter Hyde Park and reach the east end of the thin long pond (The Serpentine) in the middle of the park in 5 minutes. Here you can feed the ducks and drink tea and coffee in the lakeside cafe. In fact, Hyde Park is a very big park and there is a different beauty to see in every corner, but if you intend to visit London in 1 day, this is enough to give a general information about the park.
2 – Wellington Arch, Green Park and Buckingham Palace
If you go back to Hyde Park Corner station to get to Hyde Park, you will see Wellington Arch (Wellington Arch), the original entrance of Buckingham Palace, in the opposite direction of the station. You will have your photo taken in front of this arch and glide into Green Park this time. After crossing Green Park all the way to the green, you can pose in front of the Victoria Memorial to Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s home. There is nothing more you can do at this point because the palace and the garden are not open to visitors.
3 – St. James’s Park
Are we going to spend the whole day with limited time in the parks? I know you started to worry, but as I mentioned at the beginning of the article, many of the interesting points in London are in this region. I think I shouldn’t complain about walking through the lush gardens while reaching from one to the other 🙂 St James’s Park, which also has a pond with many kinds of cases, is pretty cute.
4 – Westminster Palace, Church and Big Ben
St. It is only a matter of time before you reach the area where the Westminster Church, Westminster Palace and the famous clock tower Big Ben triple are located shortly after you leave the south east end of James’s Park. If you have taken the necessary photos, this is the right time to take a Thames photo over the Westminster Bridge, with this much approached river Thames. You can even fit the London Eye on the opposite bank of the Thames to fit your frame.
5 – Trafalgar Square and National Gallery
It’s time to leave the Westminster Palace area. We are heading north from the upper parallel of the River Thames to the Trafalgar Square. This walk takes about 15 minutes. I know you are tired, but if you are patient until the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square, you can also examine the tables in this museum, which has a collection of more than 2300 pieces, by sitting on the seats. Admission is free.
6 – Leicester Square
It looks like we’ve taken care of the most important of its parks and historical monuments, now it’s time to head for some restaurants and shopping streets. You can reach Leicester Square from the lively squares of the city when you go down the pedestrian road just behind the National Gallery. If you see a crowd gathered right in front of the Odeon Cinema, know that a street artist or artists are performing a show and everyone is gathering watching it. Look at you a little bit too. Many of them are quite fun.
7 – Chinatown
8 – SohoWhen you move west from Chinatown, you step into the Soho region, the heart of London’s food and entertainment life. It will not be difficult to understand that you are in Soho from the cafe bars and restaurants wrapped around you and the crowd of people. If you have not eaten in the Chinatown, you should definitely take a meal or coffee break here.
9 – Regent Street
Regent Street and Oxford Street, the heart of shopping in London, have surrounded the Soho district. When you move north from Soho, you cross Oxford Street, and when you move west, Regent Street crosses. Interactive multi-story toy store on Regent Street, Hamley’s is a paradise for families with children. Attention. There are so many activities inside that once you enter, it is quite difficult to persuade children to leave.
10 – Oxford Street
On Oxford, there are chain stores such as Primark, Marks & Spencer, Foot Locker, Niketown London, which are the British version of LC Waikiki, and have affordable prices in our hearts. If you can find the power to continue westwards and reach the end along Oxford Street, you should definitely visit the multi-storey giant store SELFRIDGES from the bar of London, including food and beverage that I can compare to our YKM stores.
Now at the point where you started. Again, you reached Hyde Park this time from the north east corner. You can return to wherever you stay from the Marble Arch metro station located here.
