London for history geeks

Buckingham Palace was an absolutely amazing experience! I loved visiting and seeing such an iconic and beautiful place. It was truly unforgettable, and I even bought myself an amazing gift to remember the day. I’m so happy I visited and would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting London!

Smooth entry, very kind staff, audio guide included. Fascinating history, amazing details and we even catched a service. It was a wonderful experience for a family of 4, with 2 teenagers.

A very pleasant boat ride along the river between Greenwich and Westminster. You get to see the landmarks from a different perspective. Special mention goes to our guide, who—knowing there were foreigners on board—spoke relatively slowly and shared interesting anecdotes. I highly recommend it.

With this trip to the stadium, followed by a visit to the museum, we were able to give our grandson a great birthday present for his 18th birthday 🥳

It was a nice and informative experience :) You can take your time while exploring Tower Bridge. The engine rooms are a little walk from the bridge itself but there are signs everywhere and you can't get lost! Gift shop on the way out o the engine rooms is one with best souvenirs from London :)

Our whole family is crazy about this musical. My father took me to see it when I was very young; later, I took my daughter, and now I’ve taken my other two children. We’re all captivated by all the performances. My favorite is Fagin, and of course all the children—each one is better than the next.

Hamilton is an absolutely amazing experience. The dancers and singers are incredible—their movements are so precise, and their voices are fantastic. The atmosphere is great; the old theater has that opulent feel that only the 1920s could provide. We were seated in box Albert 1-3; the view from the upper tiers is somewhat limited, but that wasn’t a problem—most of the action takes place down below and was easy to see. The only issue was that the air conditioning was running full blast, and it was definitely too cold and drafty for the three of us in our seats. Bringing a light jacket is highly recommended!

The wait to get in was surprisingly short—no lines, not even for the Crown Jewels. The Tower as a whole is very interesting. A visit here should definitely be on your itinerary when you're in London.
