Thank you Sapal – really glad to hear.

Hey Mike – Thanks for dropping a comment and your lovely words. It’s really appreciated. Holborn is indeed a brilliant location for your stay – have a wonderful trip!

Hi Karen,

I’m glad you’re planning ahead for your time in London – sounds like it’s an exciting trip.
Transport-wise, I’d always recommend taking public transport as much as possible. Get an oyster card (or you can use your contactless card – just check your card provider’s foreign transaction fees) and then you can top it up and pay for what you use (up to a capped amount).
It’s hard to say where to stay without having an idea of your budget – places like Soho and Covent Garden are well-located but generally expensive, while areas like Shoreditch and other parts of East London are cheaper but a bit further out. You’ll probably find the where to stay in London guide useful as it will give you an idea of what’s in each area and pros and cons. https://www.thediscoveriesof.com/best-hotels-in-london/
All the best, Julianna

Hi Robin, glad to hear you’re excited about your London trip. I think that itinerary is fine for a 16 year old overall – you probably want to cut out the cocktails – maybe replace the evening in Soho with dinner and a trip to a West End show but I think you’ll all have a great time 🙂

Hey Jason – I’ve got a piece on cool things to do in London at Christmas here, which you’ll probably find helpful. Hamley’s is a great stop during the Christmas period, so would totally recommend including it, and also visiting the Christmas lights (the ones on Regent Street have been better than those on Oxford Street in recent years but they’re right next to each other so you can easily see both – swing by Carnaby Street for more cool lights in that area too). Have a great time!
