And Traveling the World
Today I want to share my London packing list with you. If you’re planning a trip to the UK capital and you want a local’s advice for what to put in your bag, read on for A Lady in London’s travel essentials for the city. From clothing to accessories and gadgets, these items will help you travel light, be prepared for the British weather, and arrive looking (and living) like a local. I’ve included a free downloadable checklist as well.
I love discovering parts of London that are hiding in plain sight. Historic places like Temple and Gray’s Inn are easy to walk past without ever knowing they’re there. But they’re worth taking time to explore, not least because they’re home to fascinating heritage, stunning gardens, and famous filming locations. If you feel the same way I do, read on for my free self-guided Inns of Court walking tour. There’s a map, too.
Calling all Potterheads! Today I want to share my top picks for Harry Potter locations in London with you. The city not only featured in the novels, but it was also used as a backdrop for many scenes in the movies. Whether you want to see Platform 9 3/4, Diagon Alley, or the Ministry of Magic, you can find it in London. My list has the best spots. I’ve included a map of all of them, too.
I love exploring London on foot. That’s particularly true in the City of London, where narrow passageways and historic lanes make for great discoveries. They also reveal some of the UK capital’s oldest and most atmospheric pubs. If you love walks and watering holes as much as I do, read on for my City of London pub walk. There’s a map, too.
