Head straight from the airport by train / Stansted Express / towards Liverpool Street Railway Station. The train runs every 15 minutes. Get off directly at Liverpool Street station, where you can transfer to the tube. 

• You can buy your tickets in advance HERE.

At Liverpool Street station, transfer to the tube. 

✅You don't need to buy any tickets. You can use your bank card for the London Underground; just tap it on the turnstile when entering and exiting. If you plan on using the tube all day, I definitely recommend it because the maximum amount charged for one day in zones 1-2 is £8.90. The system automatically adds up your individual rides, and once you reach this daily cap, any further travel that day is free. It’s definitely worth it. It's best to double-check the exact amount, as it may increase over time. 

ℹ Each person must have their own card, whether physical or virtual in a phone. Both work. 

Get off the tube and enjoy Piccadilly Circus, the place for lovers.👼🏽 In the middle of the square stands a statue of a winged angel. If people in Prague meet "by the horse or under the tail" on Wenceslas Square, then tourists, and often locals in London, meet right here at Piccadilly Circus. If you're here in the evening, expect the glow of flashing neon signs all around you.

On the ground floor of the Hard Rock Cafe, you can start shopping for souvenirs, or at least check out all kinds of music t-shirts, hoodies, jackets, mugs, magnets..., basically everything you can think of. And maybe even see some of the music stars who made history in London. 

In the basement, there's a restaurant and concerts. You might get lucky and catch someone you really love performing there. 

If you're a fan of David Bowie, the name Heddon Street will certainly ring a bell. It was right there, specifically at 23 Heddon Street, where the cover for the legendary album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972) was shot. You'll find a commemorative plaque there. 

If you're a fan of musical instruments, especially electric guitars, I highly recommend checking out the Gibson Garage London. It opened in February 2024 as the brand's first-ever exclusive flagship store in Europe. 

For this special occasion, Gibson released a limited edition Les Paul Custom 1978, a replica of Noel Gallagher's guitar. 

This place is sure to leave you with some unforgettable memories.

Afterward, you can take a walk through Soho's Chinatown, and when you're tired, head back to your hotel.

Get off at Brixton underground station.

The memorial plaque can be found right after exiting the Brixton tube station, in the street opposite on the left. The plaque covers the entire wall, you can't miss it. 

The memorial plaque isn't the only stop. When you walk through the Brixton neighborhood, Bowie's portraits, posters, and pictures will pop out at you on every corner. It's no wonder. A few streets away from this plaque, you'll also find David Bowie's childhood home. 

Take the tube to Westminster station. A few classic London sights are waiting for you. Which ones you choose is up to you. 

Check out a few classic London sights. You simply can't miss Big Ben. Just be prepared for the fact that there will probably be a lot of tourists there. But you'll handle it. Soon we'll calm down again with some music 😁.

Just a short walk past Big Ben is Westminster Abbey. It's the oldest church in London. Coronations, weddings, and funerals for key monarchs take place here.

And since you'll be just a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace, you can easily take a nice walk over there. Buckingham Palace is the home of the royal family. The popular changing of the guard takes place here on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays at 11 a.m. 

You'll probably be hungry by now and want to take a break, so you can head over to Hyde Park, grab a bite to eat at a local restaurant, and just chill out for a bit. 

Get off at Bond Street tube station. And head to Brook St. 

Now head over to the Handel and Hendrix museum. George Frideric Handel was a German Baroque composer who settled in London in 1712. We were mainly following in the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix, who lived right at this address, 23 Brook Street, from 1968-69. You'll see his original flat, photographs, albums, clothes, guitars... the museum is just the right size to delight and enrich you, while leaving you with enough energy for the rest of your day.

If you're a real Hendrix fan, check out the Handel and Hendrix museum website in advance. The museum hosts various events, concerts, and even regular live performances of Jimi's tracks right in his room. It's like stepping back in time and becoming a part of Hendrix's life. Live music was always on Fridays, but be sure to double-check on their website. You can also book your tickets there in advance.

• You can find admission prices and museum opening hours on their website.

Now it's up to you how much energy and time you have. You can take a tour of the classic sights around the Thames. I'm suggesting the most famous ones you can walk to. Then head back to the hotel and recharge for tomorrow 😉. 

Take the tube from Bond Street to Mansion House station.

The magnificent St. Paul's Cathedral. The building dates back to the 17th century and is considered the 5th St. Paul's Cathedral. It measures 111m.

A modern bridge over the River Thames exclusively for pedestrians. It was opened in 2000, so it’s actually quite new compared to the others. And very photogenic. 

This is a reconstruction of the Globe Theatre, an Elizabethan playhouse originally built in 1599 for which William Shakespeare wrote his plays. Nowadays it gets a bit lost among the surrounding buildings, but it's well worth seeing. 

This is one of the largest and oldest food markets in London.

The classic London Bridge, a photo of which you just have to bring back from London😉.

The best-preserved medieval fortress in the country. 

Wax museum. Classic London brilliance. You can easily spend the whole morning here. You will be surprised by more than 150 authentic figures that are almost scary in their realism. This museum was founded by Marie Tussaud herself in 1835. You can take close-up photos with all the statues. It includes a carriage ride through English history and a short screening. The visit is definitely worth it.

• Madame Tussauds London buy your ticket in advance on this website. You'll save both time and money.

CAMDEN. You'll love this neighborhood, so feel free to set aside the second half of the day for it. A variety of colors, people, flavors, markets, little shops, and life in general. You'll get off the subway and it will be clear to you. The main street, Camden Town, is lined with all kinds of shops, plus there are markets in the side streets, and once you walk past the bridge, a view of street food awaits you, where your taste buds certainly won't go thirsty. 

Here you can shop, grab a bite to eat, take amazing photos, and satisfy your musical soul, too.

Camden was also loved by Amy Winehouse, which is why you'll see her pictures and statues on every corner. Don't be afraid to wander into the side streets. You'll discover all sorts of murals and little shops, and you might feel like you're in paradise. At least, if you're a bohemian soul.

When you decide to head back to the tube, keep in mind that this station is really old and narrow, so it can take quite a while to fight your way to the platform. That's especially true if you go on the weekend. Locals also head to Camden Town on weekends to eat and shop. Yeah, that's just Camden Town. Love it!

If you have some time before your flight and you're a David Bowie fan, you should definitely check out the David Bowie Centre.

When you head back to the airport, you'll switch to the Stansted Express at Liverpool Street Station again. But you know that already.🌝 Have a safe flight and a good trip home!
