6 days in London Itinerary

Vibrant and noisy, London is one of the world’s leading cities, an international capital of culture, education, fashion, music, finance, trade, and politics.

Visit Ely Cathedral and St. Paul's Cathedral for their historical value. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Battle Abbey and Battlefield and The White Cliffs of Dover. Change things up with these side-trips from London: Birling Gap and the Seven Sisters (in Eastbourne), Camber Sands (in Camber) and Arundel Castle and Gardens (in Arundel). And it doesn't end there: take an in-depth tour of Natural History Museum, steep yourself in history at Buckingham Palace, step into the grandiose world of The Great Hall, and take a stroll through Old Town Hastings.
