We'll be visiting London iyH for a weekend, we'll be staying in Stamford Hill. Is there anywhere to tour that is really worth it on a winter Friday?

Is Friday your only day to your? I would definitely do changing of the guards and that area. (Buckingham Palace, horse guards parade, Westminster; London Eye, big Ben and houses of Parliament)

In fact, I'm not a tourist and a few weeks ago on a Friday, I took my kids. It was loved by all.

We did it a few weeks ago when shabbos came in at 3:37. I wasn't a guest, I was hosting for shabbos. I got home by 1:20 and we were fine.

Yes I was going to post this. Friday specifically (I'm not sure if before or after chatzos) is an especially auspicious time to daven there.

Metukah,

Are you able to help me out with how the timing worked out and transportation and stuff like that?

I live in London Stamford Hill, it's easy to get to changing of the guards, you take a bus to manor house and take the train for 11 stops to green park. You walk through the park to Buckingham palace for changing of the guards. If you want to go further there is a route to walk where you can see many sights. (I can explain if you need)
In the area there is also churchill war rooms which is a nice museum about world war, it is where Churchill sat, you get a headpiece and it talks you through all the displays.
Westfield Stratford is also pretty close if you want shopping, Oxford street is also not far.

Thank you everyone for your replies!

What's the best way for me to schedule my Friday? I'd do the changing of the guards, do I have time for anything else?
