The best of London in 2 hours

London's landmarks, at your own pace

A private car, a local English-speaking driver and two hours to get your bearings. Start and finish at your central hotel or apartment, and use the time for a quick orientation, a few photos or a route around the places you care about.

Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, the Royal Albert Hall, St Paul's and the London Eye are suggestions, not a checklist. Pick a few, pass others from the car, and let the driver reorder them around traffic, weather and events. It is an introduction, not a plan to enter every landmark.

1. 1
   

   Your central London meeting point

   Confirmed before the ride

   Your driver meets you at your central hotel, B&B or apartment. The exact pickup point is confirmed before the ride, as forecourts, one-way streets and events can change the approach.

   Fixed
2. 2
   

   Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament

   A Thames-side pause for London's most famous clock tower and the Houses of Parliament. An exterior stop, not a visit inside.

   Traffic permitting
3. 3
   

   Westminster Abbey

   An exterior look at the abbey of coronations and national ceremonies. Going inside is a separate booking, but the façade and Westminster around it make a strong short stop.

   Traffic permitting
4. 4
   

   Buckingham Palace

   The monarch's London residence, seen subject to ceremonies and security. Your driver stops at the nearest practical point and links it with St James's and Westminster.

   Traffic permitting
5. 5
   

   Royal Albert Hall

   A short stop by the great domed concert hall at the edge of Kensington Gardens: Victorian London and the city's performing arts, a contrast to royal Westminster.

   Traffic permitting
6. 6
   

   St Paul’s Cathedral

   Into the City for Christopher Wren's great dome, seen from the street or the river approaches. Cathedral and dome entry are not included.

   Traffic permitting
7. 7
   

   London Eye

   A South Bank pause with the view back across the river to Westminster. A flight on the Eye needs its own timed ticket.

   Traffic permitting
8. 8
   

   Your agreed central London return

   Confirmed before the ride

   Back at your central hotel, B&B or apartment, or another agreed central address. The driver stops at the closest legal point.

Useful tips

• 01Two or three stops usually beat trying to see everything in two hours.
• 02Ceremonies, demonstrations and road closures are common in central London. Your driver adapts the order and picks nearby alternatives.
• 03For the London Eye, the Palace State Rooms, Westminster Abbey or St Paul's interior, book a timed ticket separately and tell us the time.
