7 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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Buckingham Palace and Tower of London. You'll explore and learn at The British Museum and Churchill War Rooms. Change things up with these side-trips from London: Imperial Bird of Prey Academy (in Billericay) and The Big Cat Sanctuary (in Smarden). There's much more to do: get engrossed in the history at Natural History Museum, ponder the world of politics at Houses of Parliament, explore the world behind art at Victoria and Albert Museum, and pause for some serene contemplation at St. Paul's Cathedral.
