Trying to plan London without turning the whole trip into a checklist
I'm looking at doing a 7 day UK travel trip this summer and currently have 4 days in London and 3 in Edinburgh
I've been reading a ton about things to do in London and somehow my list has gotten ridiculously long. Big Ben, museums, Tower of London, markets, neighborhoods, pubs etc
I'm starting to wonder if trying to fit all of that into a 4 day London itinerary will make the trip more stressful than enjoyable. Id have about $1,800 total and would be flying from the Northeast US so I'm also trying to keep accommodation and transportation reasonable
For a first time in London what would you consider must do versus skippable?
And is 3 days in Edinburgh enough after?
