Details: Tower of London visit
Get up close and personal with the Tower of London. Towers, rather. Twenty stone towers, as well as tunnels, winding staircases and narrow passageways comprise this huge fortress covering 18 acres on the banks of the Thames. A royal residence from the 11th - 16th centuries, the Tower also served as a jewel safe and a prison. The headless skeletons of Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard (Henry VIII's former wives who were executed here) are believed to be buried here. The Crown Jewels are housed here, including the largest cut diamond in the world (530-carats). Beefeaters (guards) lead tours through the Tower.
Details: Afternoon tea
Afternoon tea started in England in the 1840s when The Duchess of Bedford wanted a small bite between lunch and dinner. What started out as just tea and a small snack quickly grew in popularity when she invited friends, until it became a social gathering for the wealthy social class. You’ll get to sit down to this very British experience and enjoy a selection of savouries, scones with clotted cream and jam, an assortment of cakes, and of course tea!
Details: Shopping at Harrods
Don’t forget your credit cards as you pay a visit (and a hefty markup) to the world’s most famous luxury store. With over one million square feet of selling space in over 330 departments, Harrods most certainly lives up to its motto—Omnia Omnibus Ubique, All Things for All People, Everywhere. You’ll find clothes, electronics, sporting goods, toys, housewares, furniture and some very high-end jewelry. Of course, if you don’t measure up to Harrods dress code, you may find yourself left out in the cold.
