How to spend your first 24 hours in London
Navigating Heathrow, embracing jetlag & feeling the magic as soon as you land
Dear reader,
The first 24 hours of any international trip is exciting but the first 24 hours after landing in London is pure magic.
The very first time I visited London when I was a kid, I remember falling asleep in the taxi on the way to the hotel and opening my eyes to a whole new world. From the window of the black cab, I saw rows and rows of grand old terraced houses and I couldn’t believe my eyes when a man leapt from a milk van and placed four glass bottles filled to the brim with milk on the doorsteps.
Even now decades later, the first day I spend in London is still the closest I get to feeling like I’m in a dream.
So today I’m sharing with you exactly how I spend my first 24 hours in London hour by hour, including tips and tricks to navigating Heathrow airport and jetlag. It’s very detailed so you might want to grab yourself a cuppa and settle in!
