In the late morning, grab a cab and head off to Stamford Bridge to watch a local derby between Chelsea and Fulham. Enjoy a hospitality package in the Champions Club including a 3 course buffet meal, cream tea and snacks before taking your seats in the East Stand to watch the match.

After a couple of days enjoying the festivities, you will meet up with an expert guide at your hotel this morning and head out to explore some more of the famous landmarks and lesser known hidden gems with them. Your first stop will be Buckingham Palace to watch the famous Changing of the Guards. This unique event is full of pomp and ceremony that is synonomous with the British Royal Family and is a fascinating spectacle to watch.
Moving on, you will head towards Westminster Abbey where you can step into the tranquility of this space for a moment and away from the hustle and bustle of the streets. Admire the incredible stonework and learn more about this famous building including the royal weddings that have been held here.
To end the day, you head to the London Eye to enjoy seeing the city from a different angle. Head into the skies to see the twinkling lights as your guide points out places of interest before taking you back to your hotel and saying goodbye.

For your final day in the city, you will meet up with your local city guide again to explore some of the lesser known areas of the city. Perhaps head to Soho and explore some of the trendy streets or to Notting Hill or Camden Town to explore some of the markets.
This afternoon, one of the party will head to the bright lights of the West End to be whisked away into the life of the Phantom deep beneath the majesty and splendour of the Paris Opera House. Let the music of the night flow over you as you are transported to a different world during this spectacular performance.
For the others, you can continue to explore London with your guide or perhaps while away some time in one of the many museums before all meeting up again this evening for a final evening meal in the capital city.
