    How Much Does it Cost to Visit London in 2023? [Cost Calculator]

    January 20, 2023 /

    As you plan your trip to London, you've probably notice one thing: that place is expensive! London is one of the most expensive cities in the world – both for visitors and for locals who live there. (I can attest to both as I've spent a lot visiting and definitely ran out of money while living there!) Having a good estimate for a London budget can go a long way...

    It's a fascinating time to visit London: as the calendar turns over from 2022 to 2023, the United Kingdom is ruled by a new monarch first time in 70 years. Everyone's a little uncertain what the future holds with King Charles III at the helm, but there's one thing we know for certain: he needs to have a coronation before much else. And that's a great opportunity to visit London, if you're fascinated by the monarchy...

    Can we all agree that travel just sucks right now? Seats get smaller, meals get less common, and everyone just hates being confined together in such close proximity for any length of time. International flights are even worse – the longer we spend in the sky, the worse we feel physically, and that compounds all of the other parts of air travel that are deeply unpleasant...

    As I've said many times, planning your first trip to London is a lot. Like, a lot – even though it's an English-speaking country and operates quite similarly to the U.S., it's definitely different, and there's so much to see and do that you can easily get overwhelmed putting together a London itinerary. Luckily, we live in the 21st Century, and we have a really handy solution to many issues in our lives: technology...

    I still remember my first trip to London and the moment when it became one of my favorite cities in the world. I arrived, jet-lagged after not sleeping on my first Transatlantic flight and hoofed it to a bicycle tour. We stopped to admire the view of Parliament at the exact spot pictured above, and I realized: wow! I’m in London! This place is so old! I was hooked, and...

    How Many Days to Spend in London: The Answer You’ve Been Looking For

    April 6, 2022 /

    For me, London is a city I could explore for a lifetime and never see it all. Though I've made many trips to London through the years, of varying length, I always want to visit again, to see a different area, or to visit favorite haunts from past trips. Some of us know exactly how long we have to plan a trip – others have a bit more flexibility. If you're in the latter category, you might ponder questions like "how many days should I spend in London?" and "is there a right number of days to see London?" You're not alone if you're wondering this...

    There's a reason they say that your passport is your ticket to the world. It is, quite literally, essential for international travel and you can't cross international borders without one – even when it's returning to your home country. This means that if you lose your passport in London, you're in a pickle: you can't stay in London – and you can't go home. What to do, what to do?!...

    One of the most important aspects of planning your London trip is your flight. But are you aware that there's more than one airport in London? And you can probably find flights into each of them? While most people will fly into London Heathrow International Airport, you might find flight deals that take you into other London area airports – commonly Gatwick and Stansted. Add on top that if you extend your trip by visiting another part of Europe, you might fly in or out of even other London airports (there are six in all!)...
