London breaks are very popular with residents within the UK and from all over the world. Some people visit for the culture or to improve their language and others are attracted to London theatre breaks and London gigs. City breaks, which fit in with our hectic working lives, are becoming increasingly popular and many visitors realise that breaks in London are fun packed and value for money.

Here are Spoonfed’s tips for getting the most out of your London break, the perfect guide for however long you’re here!

London in 24 hours
As home to some of the world’s busiest international airports there are many travellers passing through who want to take advantage of being in this fantastic city instead of eating a club sandwich in their airport hotel. Excellent transport links to the major airports mean that you can enjoy a pleasant city centre lay-over and grab a look at a few of the major sites. The London Eye has arguably the best view of the city, and if you book ahead you can avoid the queues. An open top London bus tour is another great way to see all of the major sites in one go and most operate a hop on hop off service that allows you to explore some London attractions for yourself too.

A London mini-break
If you’re visiting London for a long weekend you’ll have the chance to see plenty of sights during your trip. A London walking tour can be a very pleasant way to pass an afternoon and exploring all our many historical landmarks will cap off a great day. For a romantic London break many couples choose to visit a West End show one evening and finish it off at one of the capital’s best restaurants. For some guidance in planning your London theatre break Spoonfed always keep an eye on London theatre to help you pick a great show.
