We are a family of 4 (with 14 & 16 yr old teens) in London for the 1st time in early June. Can you please let me know if this is a reasonable itinerary for one of our days? Also, I'm unsure about what time to get timed tickets for St Paul's Cathedral - I would appreciate input!

9am Timed tix for Tower of London (guessing 9am-12pm?)
Then cross Tower Bridge (not getting tickets)
Walk to Borough Market for late lunch and wander (guessing 1-3??)
Walk across Millennium Bridge to St Paul's Cathedral - (buy tickets -- time? 3:30pm?) ** CLOSES AT 4:30

We also have 7pm tix to Sky Garden...not sure if we will do or not

Borough Market, varies a lot by the day. Which day will you be there?

It seems ok to me. Borough Market is always crowded, but weekends are insane. The Sky Garden is great, but that is a long time to wait if you are tired after all that sightseeing. You can always try to get in a bit earlier as a walk in, if you don’t want to wait.

When you cross the Millennium Bridge, look for the gum art. It’s fun to do that with kids.

There is some of Ben Wilson’s art around St. Paul’s too, but it as not as easy to find.

I didn’t check the website - are timed tks now required at St. Paul’s? If not I probably wouldn’t precook and force yourselves into a straitjacket time-wise. Sure you’ll probably have to queue a bit at the cathedral. But being able to take as long or as little as you want at the Tower, Borough mkt, etc would be my choice
