1. 
    
   Piccadilly

   The best way to enjoy London is to merely immerse yourself. Find a hotel centrally located within the city. This way you are within walking distance of most major attractions. Piccadilly is a beautiful section of London with many great hotels and restaurants. It is within walking distance from the theater districts, Buckingham Palace, the major parks, Trafalgar Square, the Museum, etc.

2. 
    
   Map of London

   You should plan your day in advance so that you can make the most of your time in London. Purchase a map and trace your route. *Quick tip* Cutting through parks makes walks much faster but I recommend meandering through the streets.

3. 
    
   London Pub

   Eat in the pubs! There are dozens of them on every street. The food is superb and very affordable (you will find London is a very expensive city).

4. 
    
   Theater District

   See a play in the theater district. It is within a ten minute walk from the Piccadilly section of London. Located close to China-town. You can purchase tickets cheap from street vendors.
