The 10 Best Traveler Resources in London, England

November 4, 2021 Hana Mouser

The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

British Library

Open to all visitors seven-days-a-week, this superb building by Sir Colin St John Wilson offers events, special exhibitions and a Treasures Gallery that displays over 200 items, including Magna Carta, a Gutenberg Bible and lyrics by the Beatles.

Reviewed By hilaryt364 - Arlington, United States

The Treasures room at the British Library houses an amazing collection of documents including a wonderful exhibit on the Magna Carta, da Vinci's notebooks, Beatles music, classical music, the history of printing and many manuscripts from British literature. The library was not crowded, was easy to access and was a very pleasant visit. The Magna Carta alone was worth the trip for a family with school age children but the quality of the exhibit and the overall facilities made the trip more enjoyable.

Tours can be hit and miss at the best of times, but add in the complexity of a virtual tour hosted by Zoom and the inherent issues you might expect with wifi issues etc and you'd be forgiven for having low expectations. When I reached out to arrange a virtual tour I was worried about how it would go but I needn't have worried. The tour was fantastic and I must say it was made all the better by having Tara Griffin as the tour guide - her knowledge and passion shone through and she made us feel as if we were right there with her and not on the other side of the world. Thoroughly enjoyed by all of us who attended. Thank you Tara.
