If it's your first time to London and you are feeling a little bit nervous don't worry I'm gonna tell you about the common problems and mistakes that people run into during their first few days here so that you don't make them yourself! And I asked some of our community members in the 'Local Guide to London's' Facebook group what they ran into when they first came to London, so they've helped me out with some of these answers. The first one comes from Geneva, who said: "I tried to see so much in six days that I spent a lot of time going from one end of London to the other in one day... spending a lot of time on the tube or buses, instead of appropriately planning my days around the area I was in or nearby." Geneva this is very common don't worry a lot of people do this! When you're planning out your itinerary for a day and you want to get between each of the things you want to do and see, use the 'Citymapper' app or you could use 'Google Maps' as well, to figure out how long is gonna take you to get in between each of the things you want to do. Also, make sure that you adjust for the time that you're going to be travelling, because it will likely take you longer during rush hour, so just adjust that in the map so it can give you a bit more of an accurate timing.
