A Taste of London

Westminster · Knightsbridge · West End · Tower Hill
Experience the magic and mystery of English History

Day One:

On arrival at your London Airport, you will be met by your UK Connection Representative and transferred to your London accommodation. Depending upon arrival times there may be time for a self-guided, walking orientation tour of the area around your accommodation followed by dinner at a choice of centrally located restaurants.

Day Two:

Start your explorations of the city with a close look at the hub of British politics. Starting in Trafalgar Square, stroll down the magnificent Mall to Buckingham Palace. On many days of the year you can witness the Changing of the Queen's Guards at 1130. From the Palace, stroll through St James Park with its wildfowl, many of them gifts to the monarch, and into Horseguards Parade, site of the annual Trooping of the Colour. Walk down Whitehall to Downing Street, and on to the Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Abbey, venue for Coronations and royal weddings and funerals.

Day Three:

After breakfast, we make a visit to the National Gallery Britain's premier art gallery and home to one of the finest international collections of Art. From here it is a short walk across the Charing Cross Footbridge to the London Eye, the largest Ferris wheel in the world.
This afternoon we travel across the city to Knightsbridge to visit a choice of The Natural History, the Science and/or The Victoria and Albert Museums. Time then for a visit to Britain's finest store at Harrods and/or some less expensive shopping in Oxford Street.
Tonight, after dinner, you have a seat for one of London's top a West End plays such as The Lion King, Oliver, or Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat.

Day Four: London

Finish your London stay in style with a morning in The Tower of London with a close up viewing of the awesome Crown Jewels. During its 1000-year history this impressive fortress has been a royal palace, a prison, the Royal Mint and even a zoo. It has seen three Queens of England beheaded, and the torture of numerous prisoners, stretched on the rack and crushed in the Scavenger’s Daughter. You will also see the famous Crown Jewels including the Coronation Crown, the dazzling Cullinan diamonds and the exquisite Koh-i-Noor diamond.
Perhaps some last minute shopping before your return transfer to your London airport for your return flight home.
