16 days in London Itinerary

Vibrant and noisy, London is one of the world’s leading cities, an international capital of culture, education, fashion, music, finance, trade, and politics.

Step out of the city life by going to BrakeAway Bike Tours and Speed Boats Tours. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Hampton Court Palace and Wallace Collection. Get out of town with these interesting London side-trips: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (in Kew), IWM Duxford (in Duxford) and Cambridge (Cambridge American Cemetery and Memorial & University of Cambridge). And it doesn't end there: make a trip to Buckingham Palace, wander the streets of South Bank, stop by Primrose Hill, and get engrossed in the history at The British Museum.
