8 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.

Head to Camden Market and Harrodsfor some retail therapy. Your inner history buff will appreciate Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace. Venture out of the city with trips to Feldon Valley, Cotswolds (in Brailes) and Cotswolds Distillery (in Stourton). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at The British Museum, get a new perspective on nature at Natural History Museum, explore the world behind art at Victoria and Albert Museum, and contemplate the long history of Tower of London.
