Morning Activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nThe Tower Of London<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After breakfast, head to the iconic Tower of London, a historic castle and former royal palace on the north bank of the River Thames. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is not just a single tower but a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. The Tower’s history dates back nearly a millennium, and it has played various roles, including a royal residence, prison, and even a zoo!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83d\udca1 Start your visit early to avoid the crowds and be sure to join one of the famous Yeoman Warder tours. These ‘Beefeaters’, as they’re affectionately known, offer captivating tales of intrigue, imprisonment, execution, and more. Don’t miss the Crown Jewels exhibition<\/a>, housing the world’s most exquisite diamonds and royal regalia.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStroll Along The River Thames<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
After exploring the Tower of London, take a leisurely stroll along the River Thames. This scenic walk offers spectacular views of London\u2019s diverse architecture, including modern structures like The Shard juxtaposed against historical landmarks. As you amble, you’ll reach Tower Bridge \u2013 an emblem of London. This Victorian bascule-and-suspension bridge is often mistaken for London Bridge by visitors, but its distinctive design and two tower features make it a photogenic spot unlike any other in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.travelcity.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/river-thames.jpg\")

Dating back to the 17th century, it is London’s last remaining galleried inn and exudes old-world charm. Here, you can indulge in traditional dishes like fish and chips, pie and mash, or a hearty Ploughman\u2019s lunch \u2013 a delectable combination of cheese, bread, and pickles.
