🎡 Complete Itinerary & Cost Guide

Tower of London + Crown Jewels. Pair it with a sit-down lunch nearby and an evening walk through a different neighbourhood.
West End theatre night. Take the morning slow and use the afternoon to explore a quieter district away from the tourist core.
Borough Market food crawl. Pair with a long lunch — Real British food is making a comeback — try St. John for nose-to-tail cuisine.
Day trip to Oxford or Bath. This day usually involves a longer journey so start early.
