Here's a behind the scenes look at how I created the three day London itinerary you might be able to get some tips if you're creating your own itinerary or just get a good look behind the scenes. okay so first I made a couple of lists one of the lists was filled with the attractions and things that people usually like to hit up when they come to visit London, so they included like the usuals like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, stuff like that. The other list was the list of the things that I like to recommend that are more on the local hidden gem side so I kind of did like a major brain dump of the things I think are really cool for people who are visiting London to check out but maybe that you don't know about . Then I took to my London digital map, now some of you know that I have essentially this massive map that I've made for myself that is like my holy grail of all things London, it's where any recommendations that I want to try out for myself sits it's where anything that I've come across that I really like that I'd want to recommend to you guys that's where it is it also is attached my phone so I can pull it out whenever I'm around London and if I'm looking for someplace to eat or something I can find whatever's around me and try something new or just go someplace that I know that I love I first created this map a couple of years ago, and this is where I've gotten the idea for the digital map that's included in The Local Guide to London as well as the three day itinerary so we'll talk about that in a little bit anyway so I opened up the London map and essentially spent quite a few hours trying to piece together everything that was on the two lists, now I didn't want to put everything into this obviously but I had to figure out a way to put a lot of the most popular things in along with my local recommendations into a cohesive three day plan all in close enough areas that they're walking distance so you guys don't have to worry about public transportation. It was a lot of working pieces that had to come together but then when it did I was pretty happy with it and I had like a really good starting outline for what I think would be a great 72 hour itinerary.
