London’s Classic Icons in One Perfect Day! 🏰🚍🇬🇧

#hellohalloween

Start your London adventure with the timeless face of Big Ben—nothing says “London” like a shot of its gleaming tower against the clear sky and bustling red double-decker buses (your photo tip: shoot from the Westminster Bridge for those epic bus + clock angles!). Next, stroll down to Buckingham Palace. Get there early to snag a spot for the Changing of the Guard and capture the grand façade—photos are best from the Victoria Memorial for sweeping palace views. (Note: From October 20 to December 31, the palace interiors are closed, so stick to exterior shots!)

Hop on the Tube and whisk yourself to King’s Cross Station for Harry Potter vibes at Platform 9¾. The station is open bright and early till late, so you can plan this stop whenever suits your energy—snap a magical photo in front of the trolley and blue wall! Wrap up at The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square. Plan a visit for a Friday to linger until 9 PM and soak up masterpieces by Monet, van Gogh & more (most galleries close at 6 PM other days).

💷 Money Tip: Many attractions and shops in London accept contactless payment and cards—it’s easy to get by without much cash, but having some pounds for small purchases or markets is handy.
🛡️ Precaution: Watch for crowds, especially near Big Ben and Buckingham Palace; pickpockets can be quick!
