 Day 1 Arrive London
You are met at the airport and transferred to the Jury's CLifton Ford in Marble Archl. This is a great time of year to be in the British capital! Department stores such as Harrods and Selfridges festively decorated, Oxford Street, Bond Street and Knightsbridge sparkling with Christmas illuminations, hot chestnuts sold in the streets and Christmas carols being sung by festive groups in places like Covent Garden and Notting Hill. You will soon be in the festive spirit as you check in to your hotel. Free time this afternoon to ‘drink in’ the great atmosphere!
Day 2 London sightseeing
An included city sightseeing tour shows you all the highlights of the city – including the enormous Christmas Tree on Trafalgar Square. In the evening, why not book into a Carol Concert at the Royal Festival or Albert Hall? Our London departure centre can arrange all sorts of activities for you!
(Continental Breakfast)
Day 3 - London at leisure
Time to do some shopping perhaps in the Christmas markets in Covent Garden or to window shop in pretty Walton street or St Christopher’s place. Alternatively you can visit one of London’s great museums…they are relatively crowd free at this time of year – but still full of special exhibitions that it would be a shame
to miss! (Continental Breakfast)
Day 4 - Excursion to Stratford-upon-Avon
There’s a Dickensian feel about the town of Shakespeare’s birth with its half-timbered houses and thatched cottages…We will visit the old house in which Shakespeare was born and see Anne Hathaway’s cottage. Then a drive through the pretty area known as the Cotswolds with its rolling hills, old stone houses and pristine villages, brings us back to London. (Continental Breakfast)
Day 5 - Excursion to Bath & Stonehenge
And now Christmas Jane Austen style! We drive to nearby Bath where we visit the Abbey and Roman Baths – it’s also a great place to shop in the charming small shops and boutiques of the Georgian streets. We return to London via eery Stonehenge – the stone circle on Salisbury plain. (Continental Breakfast)
Day 6 - London at leisure
Time to do some last minute shopping, go to the theatre or take an excursion to the Tower of London. Maybe attend a Christmas service in Westminster Abbey – an experience never to be forgotten!
Day 7 - Depart London
Time to bid a fond farewell to England at the end of this festive week. (Continental Breakfast) |
