Honeymoon help in London :)

Posted by on

Hii!

I am planning my itinerary in London between May 17-May 21. I am just wondering if anyone has any input on our order of events. We are flexible and willing to shuffle things around to make it more logical. Also! we would love for restaurant recommendations. Normally we are big on using yelp but not a ton of reviews on yelp for London food/ restaurants :(.

Day 1 May 17th to Gatwick airport around 2pm.
London eye (no need to actually go on it :) we are fine viewing it from afar)
Big Ben (quick)
Parliament Square
Westminister Abbey
Flat Iron for food

Day 2 May 18
Dishoom for breakfast
Buckingham Palace (probably skip the changing of guard unless anyone disagrees?)
Bourough Market
Tate Modern
Tower London
Tower Bridge
Tayyabs for dinner

Day 3 May 19
Harry Potter tour at 8:15 am for 6 hours approximately. assuming we arrive back to Victoria Coach station 3 or 4 pm?
Eat at The Golden Hind
Or Churchill Arms Pubs

Day 4
Monmouth Coffee for breakfast
House of Parliament
Yauatcha
Hamley (plus a milkshake? :D)
Hyde Park
Dinner (?)

Day 5 Last morning May 21st we leave for Paris around 8:30am. Can grab a quick breakfast or pack something for the train. OR eat in paris.

Which museum would you highly recommend we go to if we only want to include one more? possibly 2?
We were considering visiting British Museum for a stroll. We have been to the Natural History Museum in New York and we were thinking if it is very similar we can skip this museum? Trying to soak in more of London rather than spend our honeymoon in Museums :D

THANKS!! <3

a closer fit for the Natural History Museum in NYC would be the Natural History Museum in South Kensington. No bones (at least not very many if any - I don't remember ANY) in the British Museum. It is really completely different. And huge. And comprehensive. Pick a category and go just for that or them. You'll never get around the whole place.

You will see more at Borough (see spelling) Market later in the week.

Why would you be back at Victoria Coach Station from Harry Potter studio? The trains to Watford go from Euston Station.

I asked you many messages ago what was the meaning of "I ate my panda" because it is such an unusual name, I'm still curious.

Don't use Yelp in London. Use Time Out, either the app or website, or printed magazine or guide.

I would book a reservation at Tayyab's, otherwise you may have a wait of at least an hour. It's BYOB, and closer to Whitechapel tube than Aldgate East, and I don't think the construction is too horribleness Whitechapel. If you both like lambchops, get two starters (appetizers), so you don't have to share. They're that good.

For museums, I would check the websites to see what collections/galleries they have that interest you, and make sure that gallery is open. It took me 4 trips to see the history of money at the British Museum, and I still haven't seen all of the Cast Courts at the V&A because of remodeling.
