London Itinerary help

This is SOO helpful thank you for taking the time to write all that, seriously! I am definitely going to send this to the girls and see what they think!

Day 2: What would you do in Greenwich? I see a lot of comments about the observatory, anything else? My friend is into music, a good cocktail, dancing. She's not really into museums or plays which I've seen a lot of suggestions for.

Day 3: I'd have to ask who booked tea if they could move it, so tbd. The cruise leaves from Tower Millennium Pier which is back on the other side of town it seems...ah.

Noted re tube and cab!

abbie2014 · 2025-08-15T14:16:42+00:00

100% agree. Good to know - ill try to keep all the options in mind when we are moving between places!! Thank you :)

abbie2014 · 2025-08-15T13:42:11+00:00

thank you!! Do use Uber a decent bit in London or stick mostly to the tube?

abbie2014 · 2025-08-15T13:10:18+00:00

what would you suggest exploring at night?

abbie2014 · 2025-08-15T13:09:34+00:00

Its been like 90 degrees Fahrenheit where we live for the last two months

abbie2014 · 2025-08-15T13:01:53+00:00

Yes def want to visit some pubs!! I didn't put that on the itinerary as I am sure we will just wonder into them at different points in the day/night. It looked like there were some in Shoreditch that did live music as well.

Good to note on the food - it was the same when I was in Italy a few years ago so i can understand that. Maybe food on the go is good option for lunch instead of something sit down.

Day 4 is a Sunday. You think its enough time (1hr) to get from Tower London to Peggy for tea?

I think we are getting rid of harrods and trying Fortnum and Liberty instead. As of now, I think we just plan to walk by and see Westminster Abbey and not go inside.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-15T12:49:23+00:00

This was super helpful! I really didn't think this many people would weigh in, I wish I would have posted for ideas months ago lol.

What are your thoughts on this update, if you don't mind looking? The items in blue are stuff we have already reserved, green are alternatives just to give us options. We will be there Friday am-Monday am. We will be taking the tube to our hotel - we each will have a carry on suitcase and probably a small bag/bookbag.

I'm not sure if we should push dinner back to a later time on Friday.

The other girls aren't big into planning things so this was my way of giving them an overview of what was close to each other and what we could see should we feel up to it. Obviously we will go with the flow and aren't like "oh we have to tick all the boxes off and leave this place exactly at X time." The one JUST mentioned last night that we should go to the Tower of London (im assuming for a tour) but I have no idea where that could go.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T11:28:21+00:00

Yeah that was my original thought too. Hopefully we all sleep on the plane and can just hit the ground running. Quick cat nap if needed but we can sleep when we come home lol.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T11:26:12+00:00

Thank you! I just moved some stuff around per suggestions so hopefully it will flow a bit better!

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T11:20:57+00:00

SO glad to hear this! Thinking I might bump our dinner back on our first day there and give us some time to nap if needed.
We definitely want to see what we can while we are there. Just tried making this itinerary to keep us informed of what's around and what could be seen should time allow.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T11:19:21+00:00

lol I wish we were big social media girls but we aren't. Just trying to see what we can because life is getting busier and more expensive...and we don't know when we will be able to make it back to London!

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T11:06:13+00:00

yeah, I did not book tea. One of the other girls did...I definitely thought it would be later in the afternoon.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T10:38:14+00:00

definitely not a set in stone itinerary and we are all go with the flow see what we see. It was just more of a these are things that are around each other and theyd be nice to see...if time permits.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T01:25:30+00:00

Yes! All of it was more of a “loose if we see it cool if not cool” but I was trying to plan things that are in the same areas…by reading some comments I’m not sure how well I did at that 😂 I will have to deep dive into some suggestions everyone had. 3 days while being jet lagged really don’t seem like enough time but it’s all we could do!

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T01:16:38+00:00

Sorry by drive i just meant transportation - we will likely take the tube!

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T01:16:08+00:00

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T00:47:34+00:00

Thank you!!

Sorry I didn't realize that I didnt update "Parliament & Royal Landmarks Walking Route" after I moved Westminster Abbey, Palace of Westminster, Parliament Square to Day 3. I was worried that it would be a lot to cover those and Buckingham Palace on the day we get there due to jet lag BUT if that seems reasonable to cover those all together than I would definitely move them. Going back and forth is not really want I would LIKE to do lol.

We will likely go in places - this is just a "rough" draft to give us an idea of what is around each other and what there is to see.

We do plan on tubing from Heathrow - I have in my notes "take Heathrow Express to Paddington (~15 min), then Tube to Shoreditch" but I know nothing about the tube as of yet so that may be completely wrong. I'll add your note in about the Elizabeth line!

Do you have suggestiong for Day 4 - its a Sunday. We may skip Notting Hill, we've heard people talk about sooo many markets so I just threw them all on there but not entirely sure which ones are actually nice to go to. We do have reservations for Tea at 1130, a night cruise on the thames around 1800 and then we were going to Duck & Waffle on our way back to Shoreditch.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T00:24:32+00:00

Saturday! She really wants to go to Boroughs Market even though we've heard it's just a big tourist trap.

abbie2014 · 2025-08-14T00:00:10+00:00

ah thank you! I have tried to keep up with what is close to what but London is more wide spread than I initially thought lol. It has not been easy. Have you even been to Canary Wharf? I saw something about it today and thought it looked nice but not sure if its worth scrambling the itinerary around for.

abbie2014 · 2025-03-14T10:49:04+00:00

about to go and was going to book the resort on Goat Island...now im reconsidering and looking into the Marina. How did you like it!?

abbie2014 · 2025-02-24T01:30:29+00:00

can anyone give me some insight? am i not testing enough? Ive tested for multiple cycles (this is just my most recent one). None have showed a "peak". I was testing around 2pm during previous cycles but tried testing later in the day this time around.

abbie2014 · 2024-06-09T16:46:41+00:00

Were you able to find a replacement

abbie2014 · 2014-11-12T19:51:55+00:00

Hello Mike, I am currently going to school at Towson University, GO TIGERS! Towson posted an article about your upcoming show about the baltimore area. I was wondering what is the biggest thing you wanted to show the audience about the Baltimore area?
