8 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.

Your inner history buff will appreciate Buckingham Palace and Tower of London. Take a break from the city and head to The Big Cat Sanctuary and Imperial Bird of Prey Academy. Get out of town with these interesting London side-trips: Boydells Dairy Farm (in Wethersfield) and Hawk Conservancy Trust (in Weyhill). There's lots more to do: get a new perspective on nature at Natural History Museum, make a trip to Big Ben, contemplate the long history of Westminster Abbey, and pause for some serene contemplation at St. Paul's Cathedral.
