Itinerary
Arrive in London; Panoramic Sightseeing tour of the most well known city landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. Check in to your hotel located in either a London central or suburban location.
Full day sightseeing in London starting with a ride on the London Eye from which you can get a fantastic bird’s eye view of London and beyond. Walk along the Thames passing the Houses of Parliament and famous Big Ben, and visit Westminster Abbey – one of the most important religious buildings in Britain. The Abbey has been the site of royal coronations since 1066 and is the final resting place of seventeen monarchs. Continue to Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square with Nelson’s column, then Piccadilly Circus and Leicester Square, the renowned “Theatre District” of London. Free time for shopping.
Today visit the Islamic Cultural Centre and London Central Mosque in Regents Park, as well as doing more sightseeing including a short walk across Tower Bridge, an iconic symbol of London completed in 1894, and a visit to the Tower of London, the medieval castle which has served as a fortress, a royal palace, a prison, a place of execution and torture, an armoury, a treasury and, since 1303, the home of the Crown Jewels. There is also free time today to enjoy exploring as you wish – maybe taking in the British Museum, Kensington Palace, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre or Madame Tussaud’s to name just a few of the many possibilities.
