You can also discover the National Maritime Museum and Queen’s House. Perhaps climb aboard the famous Cutty Sark and admire the towering masts and 11 miles of rigging.

Alternatively we include a transfer by coach dropping near to Covent Garden from where you are free to enjoy the rest of the day as you please. Spend time sightseeing, shopping or simply watching the world go by from a trendy café or bar. The London Eye and other attractions along the South Bank are nearby, plus other highlights such as Leicester Square, The National Gallery and Trafalgar Square are also within easy reach. For a different perspective, hop on one of the world-famous red double-decker London buses or a city sightseeing tour. Alternatively, get on a tube on the London Underground to easily reach other sights to explore. For something a little further afield try one of the many amazing markets such as trendy Camden, foodie Borough Market, Portobello Road for fab food and antiques, or stylish Spitalfields.
