Top 10 Things to do for Honeymoon in London, England

October 16, 2021 Terina Blouin

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).

Kinky Boots at Adelphi Theatre

Although there have been various earlier entertainment buildings on the site the reconstructed Adelphi Theatre, with its art deco interiors, opened to the public in December 1930 with Jessie Matthews starring in Ever Green.The front-of-house areas of the Adelphi Theatre were restored to their original lustre and extravagance in 1993 when Andrew Lloyd Webber became co-owner and opened his musical production of Sunset Boulevard. Other famous productions at the Adelphi Theatre include Gertrude Lawrence in Cole Porter’s Nymph Errant, Ivor Novello’s The Dancing Years, Bless The Bride, Beatrice Lillie as Auntie Mame, Van Johnson in The Music Man, Lionel Bart’s Blitz! and Maggie May, Charlie Girl with Anna Neagle, a revival of Me and My Girl originally starring Robert Lindsay and Emma Thompson and in the Adelphi Theatre’s longest run (over nine years), the new Broadway production of Kander and Ebb’s Chicago. Revivals of Evita and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat have proved enormously popular. More recently, the theatre played host to the worldwide premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical Love Never Dies.

We’ve always said we should go to see the Tower but have never got there. This time we did! Bought the tickets online and decided not to do the Beefeater tour glad we made that decision as the crowds were so big and we felt we’d not hear enough. We opted for the audio guides which we found very useful. So amazing to walk in the footsteps of all those historical people (I’ve probably read too much Hilary Mantel, Philippa Gregory, David Starkey and CJ Sansom!) Moved to see the red roses by the Chapel altar, as we’d just passed the anniversary of Anne Boleyn’s beheading. The whole place was clean, tidy and a credit to the people who care for these amazing palaces. Even the cafe. Well worth the entry charge, so glad we went and would do it again. Big tip get there early! Thank you

For 10 quid you get a lot for your money. Super interesting museum and an opportunity to see a different side of Tower Bridge. It’s been done really well and whilst the glass floor is an interesting (and vertiginous) experience its really a side show to learning about the history and complexity of this iconic landmark. Be sure to watch the film in the engine room; fascinating.

Holland Park

Situated west of Kensington Gardens, this city park is particularly attractive in the spring when tulips are in full bloom, and in summer when performances are staged at the open-air theater.

Reviewed By ponsomp1 - Whitstable, United Kingdom

A lot of your experience will depend on weather conditions, the season, and expectations of what a park in London ought to be. Having said that, my parents were visiting me in Spring (2019) from the US and were looking for flowers in bloom. The main parks (Hyde, St James and Green) were already past bloom. We were staying in Kensington, and on our last day we decided to walk over to Holland Park via seeing the Burges Tower House. The Park definitely has a more local feel and less of a tourist-centred one. It is a nice place for walking, jogging, and even meditating. We were very fortunate since the tulips were in full bloom -- brilliant colours. The friendly peacock was a wonderful surprise as was the Kyoto Garden. Japanese gardens can tend to be over-decorated and landscaped, but the Kyoto Garden was nicely designed and well maintained. Not gimmicky. In short, Holland Park capped a wonderful visit for my parents, and with the Design Museum just next to the Park, it makes for an uncrowded venue that ought to be high on the list of places to visit in London.

We've visited many renowned churches around the world and while there're similarity it doesn't take away their own beauty! this church is amazing and their dome is also facinating! Climb the stairs and you can also reach the top (narrow stairs and the highest level) to get an amazing view of the city and the entire London Skyline!
