Westminster Abbey

The Abbey is also the burial place of kings and queens, and many of the most famous people in British history, including Sir Laurence Olivier, Charles Dickens, George Frideric Handel, Alfred Lord Tennyson and Sir Isaac Newton.

Lunch and River Thames Cruise
After a hearty lunch in a traditional London Pub, our river cruise will take us from Westminster to the Tower of London. Many interesting bridges span the Thames and some of London's most important landmarks are located on or near to the river.
