01

Start with the constraint you cannot change

A useful city plan begins with the reality of the day. Time, weather, group and budget usually matter more than the length of a list. One-Tap turns the strongest constraint into a ranked shortlist instead of asking you to complete a long questionnaire.

02

Compare three routes, not thirty attractions

Each result keeps the day inside one London cluster and exposes estimated time, walking and core spend. The score explains fit; it is not a promise of availability, weather or access. Open the area guide before committing to the route.

03

Use the first result as a starting point

The highest-ranked route best matches the selected situation in the maintained LONNOW route library. The next two options preserve choice when the first location is inconvenient, crowded or already familiar.

04

Keep one anchor and one fallback

Confirm one essential museum, performance, meal or venue. Keep the remaining stops flexible and save an indoor or free alternative nearby. This protects the day from queues, weather and late changes.

05

Treat £0 as core spend

Free routes can still create transport, food, cloakroom or special-exhibition costs. The £0 choice prioritises routes whose core activities can be free; it does not claim the entire journey has no cost.

06

Verify the live city

Opening times, tickets, station lifts and disruptions change. Read the linked LONNOW guide, then use the named official source and TfL immediately before departure.
