How to make the most of your history tour

Start early and grab a map that marks the landmarks covered in these articles. Use the "best viewing spots" tips for St Paul’s or Big Ben to get a clear shot without the crowd. If you’re on a budget, the “London’s Best Massage Deals” post might sound odd, but it lists nearby wellness centres housed in historic buildings—perfect for a quick relax between sightseeing.

Transport is easy: most sites sit within walking distance of the Tube, and we list the nearest stations for each attraction. Check the “Family‑Friendly Activities” guide for kid‑approved routes that weave through parks and museums, so the whole crew stays engaged.

Finally, remember to bring a pocket notebook or a notes app. Jot down small details—like the plaque near the Crown Jewels in St Paul’s or the hidden inscription on the Tower Bridge bascule. Those tiny facts make your visit feel personal and give you something cool to share later.
