Every year on The Daily Constitutional, as the high season for visitors to London hots up, I spend August sharing a few archive posts. This year I'm reposting recommendations from our If You Do One Other Thing In London slot (a regular feature of our Saturday London Spy posts) and updated posts from the Best Museums In London series, in which the London Walks guides shared their best London museum tips.
If theres' a London Walks tour starting or ending nearby I'll add the details at the bottom of each post. I hope you find these posts helpful over the course of the summer.
Keep in touch - I'm not going into hiding! - I'll be posting throughout August and, of course, I'll see many of you "out there" on London Walks tours. All of our regular features – and some new ones, too – will return in September.
A.S-G London, August 2016
Visit the OTHER Tower. Westminster Cathedral offers superb views from the top of its tower some 64 metres (210 feet) above the streets of Victoria. For just £6 per person (£ concession) the panoramic view is yours. If you’ve done both St Paul’s and the London Eye, this trip will complete the set of essential central London vantage points.
