London, UK, has so much amazing things you can do and see that it would be a waste if you were to spend your time on the city’s tourist traps. Here are the worst ones you definitely want to avoid.
Changing of The King’s Guard at Buckingham Palace
This is usually labeled as one of the things you “must” see while in London. But it really isn’t. The performance itself is a nice sight, but it is not worth all the hassle. For example, you would need to arrive early in the morning and wait for a few hours to get a good view. Then, you would find yourself in a crowd of tourists who are constantly trying to push you to the side in order to have a better position.
The Prime Meridian
While being hyped up as an unforgettable experience, seeing The Prime Meridian is actually quite underwhelming. It is just a line marked in the ground and nothing else. On top of that, you will need to wait hours in line to get there and pay an admission fee.
Madame Tussauds
Madame Tussauds wax museum is one of London’s most-visited tourist attractions, but also one of its worst ones. It might be impressive to see life-like wax celebrities at first, but you would soon get bored and regret paying $50 for the ticket. Also, most of the celebs in London’s iteration of the museum are British, and most international tourists might only be familiar with a few of them.
