Default Visit London, need some advise

Hello folks

I will vist next month London for 4 days, i know it will not be enough to see all of this beautifull city.It will be my first time there.

On my wishlist to see is one of the folowing graveyard but not iīm not sure which one.
Bunhill Fields and Brompton?

Which one is more interesting?

Greetings from vienna
Manfred

London's an amazing city. I think you will find that cemeteries will be last on your list when you get there, though, as there's just so much to see.
The architecture is incredible, as are the parks (think Hyde Park).
Enjoy your trip and take lots of great shots

If you go to Highgate you could also do Hampstead Heath, great panoramic view of London and nice forest type land to explore.

Yea, you might even see George Michael.

Seriously though, my best advice would be to visit the North of England instead.

If you are only there for 4 days, don't try to do too much, there is so much to see and photograph just wander and have a good time.

To be fair you can do the tourist trail (buckingham palace and the mall, tower bridge, trafalgar square, london eye, houses of parliament/big ben and St Pauls cathedral) in a day - half a day if you're a fast walker. But then again i say that as someone who's in London most weekends...im sure if i were to ask tips on how to tour Vienna you'd say the same as a local

I would advocate walking everywhere btw because there is SO much to see and a tube station is pretty much a 5min walk from most places so when you get tired it's easy to take the lazy option - failing that if you've got a day railcard you can hop on the buses with that too.

It's hard to get lost

thanks all for the tipps,

frst, i know i canīt see everything of london in just few days, vinna is a little village in comparision to london

second; iīm sure it will not be my first and last time of visiting london; there is so much to explore and tons of posibility to shot (photos of course )

so if oyu see me running around, inspecting the daylight, fighting with my tripod and camera, just say "hello" and we go for some beer if youīre a model we can make a spontaneous shooting

see you all in london
Manfred
