5-Day London Itinerary - Iconic Sights, Classic Restaurants and Markets
See London in five days with a tight route that saves time and shows the highlights plus market stops and classic places to eat. Pro tips for restaurants: Covent Garden lunch, then head to Maiden Lane (think Rules for traditional British fare); Borough Market, perfect for breakfast and market stalls; Southbank Centre Food Market for riverside street food; Soho dinners - look on Greek Street or Dean Street (L'Escargot, The French House); Shoreditch, where you can check Shoreditch High St for longstanding pubs and gastropubs; Brick Lane - curry houses along Brick Ln. Name-checked markets: Borough, Camden, Portobello Road and Covent Garden market. Arrive early at markets, reserve for Soho/Shoreditch/London Bridge nights, and use the day-by-day plan to avoid backtracking.
