I have something exciting to share with you today: I’ve launched a new itinerary series on the A Lady in London blog. I’ve received great feedback on the London itineraries I’ve published in the past, so I’m expanding on that with themed itineraries for London.
London Itineraries
There are 1-day, 2-day, 3-day, 4-day, 5-day, 6-day, 7-day, 1-week, 8-day, 9-day, 10-day, 36-hour, 48-hour, and weekend itineraries for London on my blog.
But a lot of my travel planning clients have specific interests when they visit London, and I know other people do as well.
Some want to eat at the most exciting restaurants, others want to explore the city’s architectural history, and still more want to indulge their inner book lover or coffee addict.
As such, my blog posts with themed London itineraries cover a range of topics and do a deep dive into specific areas of interest.
Whether you want to spend most of your time in the city exploring museums or markets, side streets or high streets, there’s an itinerary to cover it.
The Series
I’m publishing a new itinerary each week, so stay tuned for the next installment. I’ll also link to them all from this blog post, so make sure to bookmark or pin it on Pinterest if you want to come back to it in the future.
I hope you enjoy them, and if you have any specific requests for themed London itineraries, you can leave a comment on this post and let me know. I’ll try to get to as many of them as I can over the course of the series.
If you want a guided itinerary or tour, you can check out the ones from GetYourGuide here. I’ve done many tours in and around London with them over the years, and I’ve always enjoyed them.

A ‘first-timer’, must see list.
I am coming in May and want to hit all of the ‘musts’.
Thanks for the recommendation!
Great Idea! My suggestion would be
Espionage: London.
MI5, MI6, Bletchley Park, GCHQ, Churchill’s secret bunker, and the secret hangouts of Smiley’s People and 007 and Moneypenny and Lady Kate St. Claire and the tailors at Pendel and Braithwaite..
Two years ago our tour to Bletchley Park was cancelled at the last minute. Such a disappointment!
Thanks for the suggestion!
Royalty theme??
Good idea!
A Fashion theme? I think of Twiggy, Vivienne Westwood, Stella McCartney. Do they have design houses? Is there a fashion district? High end shops like Liberty, Sloane Square area…Are there cheap warehouses with young new designers? I bet there is a lot to discover.
Thanks for the idea!
Mews! Mews! Mews!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Girls trip! For best friends, milestone bday friends trip, mother/daughters?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Music trip in London
I would love to see an itinerary for exploring one of the canals and nearby neighborhood

Foodie experience! I am visiting London in February and want to try all the dishes that a brit would recommend – including drinks (pubs, places to have afternoon tea, etc).
Thanks for the recommendation!
I like several of these suggestions as well, but I would also add James Bond’s London.
Thanks for the suggestion!
Vintage clothes shopping!
Whenever I bring my daughter she wants to go second hand shopping, but there must be more to this than Shoreditch and Brick Lane? We’re hoping for an itinerary covering other areas too!
Thanks!
Antique Markets
Thanks!
