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.

Appreciate the collections at Wallace Collection and Cutty Sark. Deepen your sense of the past at sights like HMS Belfast and Petworth House and Park. Get out of town with these interesting London side-trips: Bexhill Beach (in Bexhill-on-Sea), The Big Cat Sanctuary (in Smarden) and The Hawking Centre (in Doddington). There's lots more to do: visit Westminster, pause for some serene contemplation at Winchester Cathedral, browse the collection at British Library, and explore the world behind art at The Courtauld Gallery.
