Junto AI builds your full itinerary around your dates, your group and the way you like to travel.
Westminster, the Tower, Buckingham Palace and the small streets that still feel medieval.
The British Museum, the V&A, the Tate, and most of them are free.
Wood-paneled pubs, garden beers and a Sunday roast that lasts most of the afternoon.
Borough Market, Brick Lane, Maltby Street, London eats brilliantly, all over town.
West End shows, fringe theatre and the long pre-show pint at a 300-year-old pub.
Hyde Park, Hampstead Heath and the canal-side walks that feel miles from the city.
London does not reveal itself in a single neighborhood. Five days is enough to draw a rough map: the museum quarter around Bloomsbury, the river spine from Tower Bridge to the South Bank, the eating-and-drinking grid of Soho and Shoreditch, and one westward day around Notting Hill or Kensington. Pace yourself. The Tube is fast but the walks between stops, through Georgian squares and over canal bridges, are usually the better part of the day.
Start with the heavy-hitters while your legs are fresh. The British Museum is free and overwhelming; give it two hours, not four. The Tower of London pairs naturally with a South Bank walk past Borough Market, where you can graze on Kappacasein raclette and Bread Ahead doughnuts before crossing to Tate Modern. Save a full afternoon for the V&A in South Kensington, then dinner in Chelsea or back east at St. John in Smithfield, where bone marrow on toast still defines modern British cooking.
Nights belong to Soho and the East End. Pre-dinner cocktails at Swift on Old Compton Street, ramen at Koya Bar, then a late set at Ronnie Scott's or a DJ night at Phonox in Brixton. Shoreditch handles the rowdier end: Spitalfields on weekends, natural wine at Sager + Wilde, dancing at XOYO until the Overground starts running again around 5am.
Stay in Bloomsbury, Marylebone, or Shoreditch for mid-range hotels with quick Tube access; the Hoxton chain is reliable across all three. Book Dishoom, St. John, and any Michelin-starred lunch a month ahead. May, June, and September bring the best weather and the longest evenings, with light lingering past 9pm. Carry a contactless card; cash is nearly obsolete.
From the first idea to settling up at the end, Junto handles the planning so you don't have to be the group's travel agent.

Track every shared expense and let Junto figure out who owes what. No spreadsheets, no awkward Venmos.

Comments, reactions and decisions sit on the actual itinerary item: venue, day, address. No parallel group chat that drifts away from the plan.
