What to expect
You can explore world-class museums, iconic sights such as the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace, and vibrant areas like the West End, Shoreditch, and South Bank. Stroll along riverside paths, ride classic black cabs or red buses, and enjoy a cultural calendar filled with theatre, music, and exhibitions.
