EXPLORING LONDON: ONE DAY IN LONDON ITINERARY

Clothes shopping at TK Maxx and Primark

I recommend starting your day on Oxford Street at TK Maxx UK to pick up a stylish yet affordable pair of shoes. A little further down the same road, head into Primark for a warm coat, gloves, and scarf – a must to stay warm in London's autumn or winter chill. At this point, you should look like a Londoner! Budget around £30-£50 for these items.

Coffee or Hot Chocolate at Blank Street, Paddington

Next, get your caffeine fix at Blank Street in Paddington, or if you're like me, a caramel hot chocolate! Known for their cozy atmosphere and smooth brews, Blank Street is a perfect spot to warm up and get ready for the day.

Lunch at 805 Restaurant- Near Hyde Park

This West African restaurant serves up delicious flavours that feel like home! The dishes are hearty, flavourful, and a great way to refuel before hitting the museums. Try their efo riro and amala with a glass of Chapman – you won’t be disappointed.

Natural History Museum

Spend the afternoon exploring the fascinating displays at the Natural History Museum. From dinosaur skeletons to interactive exhibits, it’s a perfect mix of fun and education.

Science Museum

Just around the corner, the Science Museum has endless exhibitions, from space exploration to modern technology. It’s an immersive experience that will leave you inspired and curious.

Victoria and Albert Museum

End your museum visits at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), where you’ll find stunning collections of art, design, and fashion across eras.

Dinner at Enish Knightsbridge

Wrap up the day with dinner at Enish, a popular Nigerian restaurant located in Knightsbridge and other locations in London and beyond. Treat yourself to some jollof rice with plantain and assorted meat. – it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a long day of waka waka around London.

Home Time

After a full day of exploring, it's time to head home with wonderful memories, new finds, and stories to tell to your friends, family and anyone who would listen.
