Plan by area
London journeys often take longer than the map suggests. Keep space for queues, meals and an unplanned riverside or park stop.
Pair Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey with a walk across the river to the London Eye. Leave time for security queues and breaks along the Thames.
Keep St Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London together on an east-central day, using the riverside or public transport between them.
Give South Kensington's museums their own half-day, then continue towards Trafalgar Square or Bloomsbury rather than cramming every collection into one visit.
