The plan
Saturday: morning walk from Westminster (Big Ben, Abbey) along the South Bank to Tate Modern, lunch at Borough Market, afternoon at the British Museum, evening pub near Covent Garden or a West End show. Sunday: Tower of London opens at 10am — book tickets online and arrive when they open, Tower Bridge walk, lunch at Leadenhall or Spitalfields Market, afternoon in Notting Hill or a Hyde Park walk, Paddington or Heathrow Express to the airport. Skip day trips — Oxford, Bath, Stonehenge all need a full day you don't have.
When to go
May-September; rainy and dark November-February.
