5 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.

Do your shopping at Harrods and Camden Market. Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace will appeal to history buffs. Take a break from London with a short trip to The Big Cat Sanctuary in Smarden, about 1h 30 min away. There's still lots to do: admire the masterpieces at The British Museum, look for gifts at Charbonnel Et Walker, get to know the fascinating history of Victoria, and learn more about the world around you at Natural History Museum.
