How to Spend 1 Night and 2 Days Exploring London's Key Attractions

🌟 Day 1: St. Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben & Houses of Parliament

St. Paul's Cathedral

In the morning, I visited St. Paul's Cathedral. The grand dome and stunning interior decorations were truly impressive. I highly recommend climbing to the top of the cathedral for a panoramic view of London. Entry was possible without prior reservation, and spending quiet time inside the cathedral gave me a peaceful feeling.

Big Ben & Houses of Parliament

Afterward, I visited Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Seeing Big Ben up close was awe-inspiring, especially its size and intricate details, which are even more striking than in photos. The Thames River in front of the Parliament was beautiful, and I recommend taking a river cruise for a unique perspective. These landmarks are iconic symbols of London and definitely worth visiting!

🌟 Day 2: Borough Market, Camden Market

Borough Market

Borough Market is truly a food paradise! It’s filled with a variety of street foods and fresh ingredients. The traditional British fish and chips, various cheeses, and fresh seafood were particularly delicious. The market also had plenty of street performances, creating a lively atmosphere. Just wandering around the market was an enjoyable experience, especially for food lovers—this is a must-visit spot!

Camden Market

In the afternoon, I headed to Camden Market. This market has a unique charm, with many independent shops perfect for shopping. The vintage-style stores were especially fun to explore. There were also plenty of street performances, making the market vibrant and unique. It’s a great place to find artistic and quirky items.

Overall Impression

London is truly a city with diverse attractions. From historical landmarks to lively markets filled with culture and energy! St. Paul's Cathedral and Big Ben offer a serene beauty steeped in royal and historical significance, while Borough Market and Camden Market provide a more dynamic and local vibe. Despite the short 1-night, 2-day trip, I was able to experience such a variety of places, and it was absolutely wonderful! 😊
