Play Tourist
September is the perfect time to embrace your inner tourist and visit London’s most famous landmarks like Tower Bridge, the London Eye, Westminster Abbey, the Science Museum, and even Madame Tussauds. And since the summer rush is dying down, you can finally take that Yeoman Warder tour at the Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels without having to elbow your way through a horde of selfie sticks.
Heritage Open Days
Mark your calendar for September 8-17, because Heritage Open Days is your ticket to exploring historic sites across London that are usually off-limits. Think of it as an all-access pass to the city’s hidden gems.
The State Rooms at Buckingham Palace
If you’ve ever wanted to peek inside Buckingham Palace, now’s your chance. The State Rooms are open until September 29, offering you a rare glimpse into royal life that’s basically the IRL version of watching The Crown.
