[Tower Bridge] will transport you to Victorian London, telling the story of the city’s defining landmark from the very beginning. Follow in the footsteps of the unsung heroes of Tower Bridge. Uncover their stories and soak in the atmosphere of the working Bridge in one of London's true hidden gems: the magnificent Victorian Engine Rooms.

[Tower of London] by name the Tower, royal fortress and London landmark. Its buildings and grounds served historically as a royal palace, a political prison, a place of execution, an arsenal, a royal mint, a menagerie, and a public records office.

[Westminster Abbey] Explore a place that's touched the lives of kings, queens, statesmen and soldiers, poets, priests, heroes and villains since 960AD. Westminster Abbey has been the coronation church since 1066 and is the resting place of more than 3,000 great Britons.

[Cotswold Stow-on-the-Wold] With its grand manors and gardens, quaint cottages and quiet backwaters, ancient woodlands and rolling hills, Stow is the quintessential Cotswold town.

[Upper Slaughter] A little stream babbles gently while the sound of birds fills the air. Leafy vegetation sways gently in the slight breeze and the low hum of a faraway tractor can be heard if you tilt your head just so.

Oxford

[Radcliffe Camera] Its circular spectacular structure is the perfect example of how to create a cathedral for knowledge.

Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace is the ceremony where The Queen's Guard hands over responsibility for protecting Buckingham Palace and St. James's Palace to the New Guard.
