London

25 – 27 September 2026 — 2 nights

2 nights Fly from Prague World-class museums Proper pubs Eurostar out
Transport Note

We fly from Prague 07:05 on 25 Sep, arriving London roughly 09:00. Three nights here, then we leave on the Eurostar from St Pancras at 06:16 on 28 Sep.

After two weeks of German, Czech, and English-adjacent living, London is a shock to the system in the best way. World-class free museums, brilliant pubs, incredible food from every cuisine, and a sheer size that makes it feel like a different planet from anything else on this trip.

Three nights isn't enough to scratch the surface, but you can do the iconic highlights, hit a couple of great neighbourhoods, and have a genuinely excellent time. Prioritise: pick 2–3 major things per day rather than trying to do everything.

  • Currency: British Pound (GBP). More expensive than anywhere else on this trip.
  • Weather in late Sep: 12–18°C. Can rain anytime. Bring a jacket.
  • Pay by contactless card everywhere — faster than cash and saves you dealing with GBP change.
  • Oyster card or contactless for the Tube. Daily caps on fares mean you can't spend more than about £7.70 per day in zones 1–2.
  • Pubs close at 11pm typically — earlier than the rest of Europe. Plan accordingly.
