You head east, into a short night, and suddenly it's morning, and you're in England. London Town: the hub and focus for theatergoers worldwide!
Settle into your hotel, then venture into your surroundings. Red, double-decker buses groan along the "wrong" side of the road, escorted by innumerable black taxicabs with engines that sound like sewing machines.

As you stand at this famous crossroads, your guide will share fascinating insights about the area's evolution from a simple junction to a world-renowned tourist attraction.
Trafalgar Square: A Historic Heartbeat. Our journey culminates at Trafalgar Square, a historic symbol of national democracy and pride.

A certified local guide will accompany your group today.
Watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace, if scheduled today. Have your cell phone at the ready to capture the Queen's Guard in this popular display of British pageantry.
Enter the mighty fortress, royal palace and prison where the best-known features are Traitors' Gate, the Bloody Tower where two young princes were last seen alive, the White Tower, the Block where two of Henry VIII's ill-fated wives lost their heads, the Crown Jewels, and the ravens! If you choose to follow one of the Yeoman Warders (Beefeaters), you may also be able to visit the Royal Chapels.
Visit the great cathedral where the British monarchs have been crowned since 1066. Westminster Abbey has also hosted royal weddings since the marriage of King Henry I in 1100, including the wedding of Prince William, grandson of Queen Elizabeth II, and Catherine Middleton in 2011. Twelve kings and five queens are buried in this former abbey church, along with many illustrious Britons. In addition to Poets' Corner, burial place of writers, you will see the Royal Tombs, the Coronation Chair, the Henry VII Chapel and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Scientists and fans of The Da Vinci Code will seek the grave of Sir Isaac Newton (in the nave, near the choir screen) and won't want to miss the splendid Chapter House.

Your visit also includes the crypt, where illustrious Britons are entombed, and an ascent of the impressive dome to view its Whispering Gallery (currently closed) and Stone Gallery.
