This afternoon, head to Buckingham Palace, the official residence of his majesty The King for a tour of the state rooms and the gardens.  From the White Drawing Room where His Majesty has his weekly meeting with the Prime Minister to the Ballroom where many Royal Dignitaries have been entertained over the years, gaze in wonder at the opulent surroundings and incredible decor as you move through the palace towards the Garden.  Here, you will breathe in the scents of the stunning flowers as you take a tour with one of the expert guides before heading back to your hotel for the evening.

After an immersive morning, you will enjoy a free afternoon wandering the streets of London, perhaps dipping into one of the many museums or taking a walk through one of the beautiful parks.

Tonight, you will head to the bright lights of the West End where you will be transported to the magical world of the arts as you enjoy one of the many shows that is on offer.

Spend the day exploring the museums of London today as you head out with your expert guide for another wonderful day in the city.  Your first stop will be the British Museum, where you immerse yourselves in over two million years of human history and culture.  From Ancient Greek artefacts to Medieval Europe, there are so many galleries to visit that you may end up spending all day here!

Depending on how much time you spend at the British Museum, you may have time this afternoon to visit the Sir John Soanes Museum – the former English architect who’s home was left as it was at the time of his death in 1837.  A unique look at life in regency London and an inside look into this remarkable man’s life.

There may also be the opportunity to see the famous changing of the guard which takes place every Thursday and Saturday and is a splendid example of pomp and pacentry that the English are so good at.
