Welcome to London
Embrace the pomp and pageantry of a city that marches to its very own vibrant tune – yours to explore before meeting your Travel Director and fellow travellers later this evening for dinner to kick-start your grand exploration of London.
Journey to Prehistoric Stonehenge and Windsor
Regal traditions and ancient monuments take centre stage today as you embark on a full-day excursion from London. Your first stop delves into the history of the ancient stone circle at Stonehenge. Next, visit Windsor Castle, including the superb Georgian State Apartments and St. George's Chapel before returning to London.
London Your Way
Armed with your travel pass, London truly is your oyster. Your Travel Director will give you suggestions on how to make the most of your full day at leisure. Walk through 'The City' exploring the oldest part of London – the imposing dome of Christopher Wren's St. Paul's Cathedral, Leadenhall Market's ornate façades and the Tower of London, with its grim history and extraordinary royal heritage. Pay tribute to Admiral Nelson in Trafalgar Square and wander down The Mall to Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the UK's sovereigns since 1837. Alternatively, consider a full-day Optional Experience to the enchanting Cotswolds, visiting Shakespeare's Stratford-upon-Avon, with a stop in the university town of Oxford to admire the towering spires of cathedrals, churches and colleges.
Discover Multicultural London
Embark on a sightseeing tour featuring Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey. See the stately Changing of the Guard before spending the rest of the day enjoying a slice of London culture at your leisure. Perhaps join an Optional Experience to St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London to see the Crown Jewels and to meet the Yeoman Wardens of His Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress.
Experience London’s Markets and Museums Dive Into Culture Connect with Locals
Stroll past the buzzing stalls of Borough Market, where you’ll rub shoulders with the locals here to buy the best of British produce. Spend the rest of the day visiting London's extraordinary museums, many of which are free to visit. Use your London travel pass to traverse the length and breadth of the city. Join an Optional Experience for a unique gastronomic adventure through Soho, one of London's most colourful and interesting boroughs. This evening you'll enjoy a dinner at an exclusive Be My Guest experience.
Explore Westminster Abbey and Kensington Palace Dive Into Culture
Imagine the kings and queens who have glided gracefully upon the 13th century mosaic floor of Westminster Abbey. We’ll have an opportunity to explore this architectural wonder on a guided visit with a Local Specialist. Find out why this church lost its cathedral status and pay your respects at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior. Later, visit Kensington Palace and Dive Into Culture, gaining insights into the lives of the Royal Family. Tour the Royal Palace, which was once home to Diana, Princess of Wales, and her sons Prince William and Prince Harry. Indulge in a delicious English cream tea in The Pavillion surrounded by beautiful formal gardens before returning to your hotel.
Cruise the Thames to Greenwich
Enjoy one last full day in the lively city streets of London. Consider taking a trip up the Shard – Europe's tallest building, admire England's proud history reflected in its monuments to great men and victories, or see the treasures of the British Library. This afternoon meet with your Travel Director and travel companions for a leisurely cruise down the Thames to Greenwich. Sail under the famous Tower Bridge before enjoying a taste of sustainable London Gin at the Old Royal Naval College during a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience. Toast to your unforgettable week on a Farewell Dinner at a historic pub.
