Day 2 – Saturday 29th August 2026: Wander, Wonder, and Explore
Embrace total freedom today in central London, where your leisurely pace meets endless possibilities. Begin with a relaxing riverside stroll along the South Bank, soaking up the vibrant atmosphere around the Southbank Centre and iconic Shakespeare’s Globe - a perfect blend of arts, architecture, and fresh air. Then perhaps head into Covent Garden, where captivating street performers, boutique shops, and charming cafés await. Wander through Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus, marvelling at the buzzing lights and city energy, or dive into world-class free museums nearby - think the British Museum or National Gallery.
As an optional extra, why not enjoy a visit to Buckingham Palace – a rare opportunity to explore the official London residence of the King. Open to the public for only a few weeks each summer, you’ll get to admire the magnificent State Rooms, exquisite royal collections, and the lavish décor that has hosted world leaders and royal ceremonies. It’s a truly unforgettable glimpse into the heart of the British monarchy.
For theatre lovers, consider pre-booking a spellbinding West End show, alternatively, enjoy a more spontaneous evening with stand-up comedy, late-night cinema, or theatre-finding deals at the infamous TKTS booth in Leicester Square.
