Head out to Buckingham Palace this morning to watch the famous changing of the guard ceremony. A centuries-old tradition which includes a military band as the Old Guard is replaced by the New Guard who are charged with protecting Buckingham Palace. Full of the kind of pomp and pageantry that is synonymous with the British Royal Family, this is certainly a must see while you are in London.
From here it is just a short walk to the Thames where you can hop aboard a high speed RIB and zoom off down the Thames James Bond style! Feel the rush of wind in your hair and the spray from the water as you race along the river to the Thames Barriers and back again.
You’ll disembark at the London Eye where you will end the day in a private pod, rising up into the skies above the city looking down on the landmarks and seeing them from a different perspective as your guide points out the places you have visited before heading back to the hotel or having some free time to explore under your own steam.

Madame Tussaud’s has been a must see for visitors to London since it opened its doors and wowed the public back in 1835. One of the main early attractions was the Chamber of Horrors but since then the exhibitions have grown in number so there’ll be plenty to see if you don’t want to venture to the Chamber! Perhaps wander through the Marvel Hall of Heroes or experience the Spirit of London Ride while you are here. With so much to see and do, you’ll be surprised how quickly the time goes by!
After enjoying lunch in a local restaurant, you will head to the West End to catch a matinee performance of Matilda. Get transported to the school where Miss Trunchbull rules and gasp in wonder at how Matilda saves Miss Honey with her incredible magic!
A fantastic way to end your time in London.
