A Tourist In My Own City

It will be summer soon in London which is the perfect time to explore more of the city while it's sunny, especially if friends and family are visiting. This August I plan to spend the month in London after all my travels over the past year. August is a popular time for London with tourists but I've hardly spent time here in August due to summer plans in the past so I plan to make the most of it this year and visit places I've not had the chance to see yet.
