ABOUT THIS JOURNEY

For anyone who wants the best of England: grandeur, history, river walks, and a countryside that has inspired a thousand paintings.


London. No city in the world speaks more volumes of posh royal history. But beyond Buckingham Palace and the Changing of the Guard, the city reveals itself layer by layer. In seven imaginative days, experience the most quintessential British gems from tasting your way through Borough Market to riding up the London Eye. You’ll even have a candlelit dinner aboard a double-decker bus as it roams through cobbled streets. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, a day in the Cotswolds wraps you in idyllic charm with stone villages, a riverside pub, and cottages fit for a fairy tale.

DAYS 1 - 7

London

A boutique hotel in the heart of Covent Garden serves as your lovely base for this grand adventure. Just a few steps away is one of the city’s great rituals: a proper Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Have a day all to your own to explore, shop, or simply get lost in these enchanting streets. As evening falls, a romantic journey awaits on a double-decker bus to savor a six-course meal and discover the city’s lesser-known corners. Take in the grandeur as a private guide leads you through Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and the Changing of the Guards before you stroll down the Thames and board the iconic London Eye. In the Borough Market, taste local delicacies, then enjoy a drink at London’s oldest pub. You’ll also dive into the dark past of the Tower of London, and cruise past one of the world’s most extraordinary skylines. On the final day, live like a king with a tour and royal high tea at Kensington Palace and Gardens.

DAY 6

The Cotswolds & Oxford

Bid the tourists farewell as you break away for a day in the countryside. In Oxford, travel back in time through eight centuries past, wandering cobbled lanes and college quads. Discover the medieval Divinity School, where scholars have gathered since the 15th century, then take a moment to browse a bookshop and enjoy a coffee. Up next: The Cotswolds. In this dreamy landscape, stone villages are untouched by time and neat hedgerows line narrow roads. Midday, pause for a delicious lunch with a hand-poured pint in a perfectly atmospheric pub in Buford. You’ll also see the iconic weavers’ cottages at Arlington Row in Bibury and the hidden hamlets of the Coln Valley. Stow-on-the-Wold is the final stop of the day before enjoying a scenic drive back to London.
