What is there to do in London?

Question

My son is traveling to London, and I want to give him some ideas on what to do there. He will be staying in a Hostel somewhere in the area of Hyde Park. Also, what/where are the best Hostel's in London? Something that is not too expensive, also. He will be traveling in the first few days of January.

I appreciate the help!

Answer 1

all the museums in london are free to the public. there are so many amazing things like the rosetta stone, elgin marbles, and many other artifacts from around the world. the tower of london is fun to see, palaces are usually open to the public for a charge, the changing of the guard is free to watch. london is amazing and so full of history. he will have lots of fun. it is spendy over there, though.

Answer 2

There are a million things to do and hostels to stay in. The generator hostel is very young and hip and has many excursion trips everyday that you can go on and it's very cheap. It's right down the street from the British Museum and it is pretty awesome.

Answer 3

You are going to get a ton of similar answers here I am sure, but if your son is of drinking age, I would recommend the Absolut Ice Bar. The entire inside is constructed of ice, as are the glasses. It takes some advance reservations, but it is well worth it for the unique experience.

Answer 4

Museums, bus tours, Harrods department store, picadilly circus shops, also tarfaller sqr. (Big Lions) there, go upto Abbey road studios see the famous cross walk from the album, theres also a lot of graffitti in front of studio..changing of guard at buckingham place..as far as place to stay try Cheslea area? only ten miles from downtown london..by bus or train..
