Interesting Facts About London For Your Visit
28th October 2019
London is one of those cities that is constantly changing with new and exciting things sprouting up almost every day! This is all well and good but it sure can make a visit to our capital city pretty hectic, especially if you’re trying to plan, book and see all the things you want in a short period of time. This is exactly why I wanted to share some interesting facts about London for your visit.
Below, we’ve included a whole heap of interesting facts about London for any new visitor to this amazing city. Take a look at some of the interesting facts about London for your visit. Have a great trip.
1.) London is big
Yeah, there’s no denying it, London is huge! With millions of people, the city and metropolitan area are ginormous, to say the least. If you’ve only got a few short days in the city, try to stay in the best areas in London that you want to explore (or at least close by).
This will save you a whole lotta time travelling across the city every day, especially as travelling in London can add up to several hours per day in transport time.

2.) Museums are FREE
This is one of our favourite things about this city and one of the interesting facts about London you might not know if you’re visiting a country that charges for museums. Museums like; the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the British Museum, the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Modern… plus, much more are free, too.
Spend a day wandering through the many historical artefacts and enjoy the rich heritage the city has to offer. Obviously, donations are welcome, though in no way obligatory at all.
3.) You can visit Big Ben for FREE
Big Ben is the bell inside the Queen Elizabeth II Tower that chimes across London. Attached to the Houses of Parliament it’s only accessible by invitation.
One of the easiest ways to grab yourself an invitation (if you live in the UK) is to ask your local MP for an invite. They will put your name forward and will issue you some free tickets for a tour! It’s a unique perspective that most people will never have seen. That being said, Big Ben is currently undergoing a huge renovation (and is full of scaffolding) so visits are on hold.
