Day Trips out of London There are a number of fantastic destinations that are perfect for a day’s trip out of London. Consider Oxford, with dreaming spires and age-old university, Brighton with pier, fun fair, eclectic shopping and pebble beach or Windsor with the spectacular Windsor Castle. A number of companies, for example, Viator, can help you plan and book trips. Stonehenge, Windsor Castle and Bath Windsor Castle is the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world, has been home to the kings and queens of Britain for almost 1,000 years and is still a working royal palace. Take a tour of the State Apartments and St George’s Chapel, and then continue west of London to Salisbury, home of Stonehenge, one of the wonders of the world and the best-known prehistoric monument in Europe. Finally, arrive in Bath, an elegant city full of traditional heritage, contemporary culture, green spaces and a renowned wellbeing destination since Roman times.

Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace The Changing of the Guard is the official ceremony when the Footmen guarding the monarchy are released from their duty, to be replaced with new soldiers. It’s a great experience to watch. This is free to watch and happens most mornings at 11am – please check the confirmed times before you go as they can change. https://changing-guard.com/dates-buckingham-palace.html
