Questions about this trip

Is one week enough for London?

One week covers the main sights with daily area grouping. Book timed entries for the Tower of London and Westminster Abbey several weeks ahead.

Do I need to book the Tower of London in advance?

Book Tower of London tickets online before arrival. Advance purchase cuts wait times and includes entry to the Crown Jewels.

How do I get to Greenwich from central London?

Use the Thames Clipper from Tower Pier or London Bridge. A one-way fare costs about 10 pounds and takes under an hour.

Do I need to book Windsor Castle ahead?

Reserve Windsor Castle tickets online at least a week in advance. Same-day slots often sell out or require long waits at the gate.
