  1. Hi, I think there are three things that are definitely worth doing while you are in London and both of them are free!

     

    Firstly, about you can book to go to the sky gardens - they release the booking availability three weeks in advance and they run out fast so it may be worth putting a reminder in your calendar to check their website http://skygarden.london/plan-your-visit.

     

    The other recommendation is to check the tower bridge website for when the bridge lifts take place - it’s just something nice to see and only takes about ten minutes. The website is http://www.towerbridge.org.uk/lift-times/ and more bridge lifts are added nearer the time.

     

     

    Last of my top three free places but definitely not least is a visit to a tiny park called Postman’s Park. It’s very close to St Paul’s Cathedral and the website is https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/things-to-do/green-spaces/city-gardens/visitor-information/Pages/Postman's-Park.aspx - the main thing to see there is the watts memorial.

     

    Finally, if you only have a couple of days in London, I’m not sure the London eye is worth a visit because as well as being pretty expensive, it involves a lot of queueing and waiting around - unless, of course, you want to queue because that’s what the uk is famous for! You can get a similar 360 degree view from the top of the Sky Gardens( just take your time and walk all the way around the gardens) for free. You could also get a different view from the emirates cable car https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/emirates-air-line/.
