This 4-day London vacation showcases the many sides of England’s capital. It features moderate accommodations, shared tours, and is a perfect city stay for globetrotters wanting to experience London’s multifaceted charms.
Your England vacation centres on London, one of the most-visited cities on the planet—and justifiably so. With history stretching back to Roman times and some of the finest architecture, galleries, and culture on the planet, people have been prioritizing London vacations for centuries. Start with a sightseeing tour from the top of a vintage double-decker bus. You’ll flit around the city and stop off at iconic landmarks, including Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, the Tower of London, and Buckingham Palace. The next day, escape to the countryside for a tour of “England in a day.” First stop is Stonehenge, the mystical rock formation that is at least 5,000 years old and was likely the site of worship for ancient Britons. Next up is Bath, home to Britain’s only hot springs and a site of ancient Roman ruins. Continue into the Cotswolds, which offer an iconic vision of Britain with its dry stone walls and bustling market towns. End the day in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, where you’ll see his old home and Holy Trinity Church where he was buried.
On your final full day, explore the royal home of Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest continuously-occupied castle in the world. Marvel at the castle’s size and admire some of its many treasures, from Queen Mary’s elaborate doll house to the tombs of Henry VIII and Charles I. Then back to London proper, where you can have one last pint and fit in some fish and chips if you haven’t already. Consider extending your stay in London, as it’s a city you’ll want to explore in full.
This England vacation gives you a taste of the iconic sights that London and its surrounds have to offer.
