Planning a trip to London and only have one day to explore? During my first visit to London, I somehow managed to walk over 30,000 steps in just 12 hours while visiting some of the city's most famous attractions. My knees may not have appreciated it, but it turned out to be the perfect introduction to one of Europe's most exciting cities.

If you're wondering how to spend 12 hours in London, this walking itinerary covers iconic landmarks, beautiful views, historic churches, royal attractions, and even a free viewpoint overlooking the city.
