Exclamation Only a Few Days...Where to go/What to do?

Hi everyone, this is my first time posting here
I'm going to London this summer for an internship, and once it's done (early August) I will have about 5 days to do anything I want. Should I stick around London in the hostels? (if so, any suggestions as to which hostels? I'll be staying at Nido King's Cross during the duration of my internship, fyi) Or should I go visit a bunch of other countries? I'd be really interested in going to Ireland/Scotland, possibly down to France/Spain, although I'd rather not take any flights. Any advice would be awesome! Thanks everyone!

Personally, I wouldn't try to do too much in 5 days. You could see some of Paris and surrounds or Scotland, they are both relatively close. I would suggest Amsterdam, but if you don't want to fly you would lose a day going back and forth.

Five days in London is a good deal of time to visit its attractions and nearby areas. Don't rush your itinerary. Try to stay at some central location with easy access to various spots. Here is the list of some of the main attractions there:

Trafalgar Square and National Arts Gallery
The Tower Bridge
Regents Park,
St James Park,
St Paul's Cathedral
London Eye
Mdm Tussaulds
Westminster abbey church
London Aquarium
London Dungeon
Harrods for shopping
