    21 Souvenirs from London that Don’t Suck

    February 7, 2022 /

    When it comes time to pack your bags for London, don't forget one important thing: you need to leave room for souvenirs! No matter how many times I've visited, I always bring home some souvenirs from London. Sometimes they're small, other times I've saved up and invested, and still other times they're a giant pile of British candies and cookies that make the folks at airport security give me a funny look...

    Over the last few years, one of the things that has made me the most sad is being unable to visit my favorite city on earth: London. We all know why international travel wasn't really a thing between 2020 and 2022, but it doesn't change the fact that it sucked to not be able to explore the streets, pop into the pubs for a pint, and discover new parts of a place I love so much that I started a whole website to encourage others to visit too...

    London is a city known for many things – and gray, rainy weather is one of them, right? Not true! London is a city with dynamic seasons.

    After a long, fun day of adventure exploring London, most visitors do one of three things: they head back to their hotel, they tuck into dinner at one London's many fabulous restaurants, or they pop into a pub for a few pints before dinner and then their hotel. But some savvy travelers know to keep their eyes peeled on the sky as the day winds down – depending on the time of year, of course; sunset in London is stunning and shouldn't be missed if you see a good one starting...

    Pack Too Much? The 7 Best Luggage Storage Services in London

    Can I let you in on a secret? There is one surefire way to make every single Londoner hate you instantly: block traffic on the stairs or escalators of the London Underground because you’re lugging around an overloaded suitcase like a tourist schmuck. Look, I know you packed too much – everyone always does (I did try and warn you though!). But here’s the thing: Londoners love to hate on the Tube. Yes, it’s delightfully convenient and pretty reasonably priced for getting us anywhere we want to go in the city – but it’s also smelly, crowded, and frustratingly tedious to navigate, especially when you have to do it on…

    When people choose luggage, they don't typically have a specific destination in mind. Usually they compare price, features, and perhaps the aesthetics of how good the suitcase looks. But some destinations require a bit more consideration. For example, you wouldn't want to go backpacking across Southeast Asia with a giant rolling suitcase – you'd choose a great backpack for that. Similarly you wouldn't use a backpack for a tour where your luggage is transferred for you; you could use a rolling suitcase no problem...

    Dating back to 1863, the London Underground, or Tube, is the world's oldest metro system. It's operated by Transport for London (TfL). It is one of the most efficient public transit systems in the world and carries millions of passengers each and every day. It's one of the best ways to get around London, and one you'll probably try, whether that's getting to/from the airport, sightseeing, or just to get to another train station for a day trip beyond London...
