I went on a trip to London. vs I went on a holiday to London.

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I went on a trip to London' is more general and can refer to any type of journey, including a business trip. 'I went on a holiday to London' specifically indicates that the trip was for leisure or vacation purposes.
