Overview
A whisky by the fireplace, outside mist over the castle hill: that is the picture many have of the United Kingdom, and it hits exactly one side. The other is London with theatre, museums and markets, and anyone who wants to experience both needs time. From May to September the travel season is mild, the days are long, and even in the Highlands it stays light until the evening. Edinburgh is a sure hit for travellers with a leaning towards history and atmosphere: the Royal Mile, the castle rock, Holyrood Park with its ascent to Arthur's Seat.
Anyone who adds London travels by train to the north and sees the landscape on the way. In big cities card payment works almost everywhere, and in London contactless payment on public transport is worthwhile. A tip in the restaurant is 10 to 15 %, unless a service charge is included. For a unique occasion such as a birthday or a family celebration, lead time for theatre seats and tables is recommended.
In the video call you clarify how the days are divided between the two cities.
