About London

London is a city that contains multitudes. Buckingham Palace and Brixton market. West End theatre and East End street art. A city where you can eat a different cuisine every day for months and still not run out of options. The free world-class museums, the iconic double-decker buses, the Thames weaving through it all - London is as exciting on your tenth visit as your first.

Getting around

Local tips from travellers

Most major museums are completely free - British Museum, V&A, National Gallery.

Buy theatre tickets same-day at the TKTS booth in Leicester Square for huge discounts.

The Oyster card is always cheaper than buying individual tickets.

Weather can change quickly. Always carry a light jacket.

Health

The most effective jet lag recovery approach, based on chronobiology

Light exposure, not melatonin, is the most powerful tool for resetting your circadian clock.

Safety

Most travellers are underinsured - here's the minimum you actually need

A single medical evacuation can cost $50,000-$200,000. Standard travel insurance often doesn't cover it.
