Itinerary

Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style & London

To mark the centenary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth, we discover more about the longest-serving sovereign in our country’s history and her style through the decades at The King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, where the largest exhibition of the late Queen’s fashion will be displayed, many for the first time. In addition to clothing, jewellery, hats, shoes and accessories, delve into exclusive design sketches, fabric samples and handwritten correspondence that unveil the behind-the-scenes process of dressing one of the most iconic women in history.

Arrival and free-time in London

All of our London breaks include free time at leisure and we use a central coach drop-off point for our London tours, so these breaks may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. You will be required to make your own way to the theatre and/or attraction.

Accommodation

Selected Hotel JG3 | JG4

We’ll stay at a well-appointed hotel outside London (JG3 or JG4 rating). The comfortable rooms are en suite and other facilities include a bar and restaurant.

Your hotel will be confirmed approximately 3 weeks before departure, therefore we cannot guarantee that the hotel will have a lift and/or ground floor rooms and may be unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Hotel Rating

Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.

Accommodation in our JG4 category is of an even higher standard, typically offering a wide range of facilities and services. Bedrooms are designed to make your stay the most comfortable possible and the staff provide a service that reflects the detail and quality. You can also expect higher standards of food and beverages.
