This is a 3-day London itinerary for 2 travellers, planned around a ground budget of $3,000. Day 1 opens at Royal Academy of Arts, and the day closes at Jack the Ripper Museum — the two are chosen to be in the same part of town, not on opposite sides of it. The stop list for the whole trip: Royal Academy of Arts, Faraday Museum, Twist Museum, Fenton House, Freud Museum London, Queer Britain, Royal Observatory Greenwich, National Maritime Museum, Jack the Ripper Museum. Budget split: stay $1,650, food $840, admission $396, local transport and other $114. There is no flight line because no departure city was given. Opening hours are read from OpenStreetMap and enforced: a museum closing at 17:00 never ends up in an evening slot, and a place shut for the entire week is not in the pool at all.
Frequently asked questions
Is this London itinerary walkable?
Each day stays inside one district, so the walking is concentrated rather than spread across the city. Transfers inside a day are short — the plan is sequenced by distance, not by how famous each stop is.
Can I use this with a different budget?
This itinerary is built against $3,000 for 2 people. The places stay the same regardless of budget; what changes is how much of it goes to hotels versus food, and the planner splits it deterministically rather than inventing a total.
