Greenwich Tea-Time & Eltham Palace

Thursday

A leisurely drive into Central London - a bustling city full of culture, history and art. Setting down centrally you are free to visit some of the most iconic attractions and landmarks - including the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben Clock Tower, the London Eye, Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery or the Tates - to name a few. We continue in the late afternoon to our hotel for dinner and our two-night stay.

Friday

We spend today at the Royal Museums in Greenwich. The Royal Observatory is home to the world-famous Meridian Line and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) where we can stand astride the historic Meridian line. Then climb aboard the famous Cutty Sark and admire the towering masts and 11 miles of rigging. Enjoy fabulous views of the River Thames, followed by afternoon tea underneath the very ship built to bring tea to Britain! We also have time to visit the National Maritime Museum and Queen's House.(Both offer free entry)
Saturday After breakfast we make our way to Eltham Palace, recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. Today the palace is a stunning mixture of medieval residence, Art Deco style and one of the few surviving 1930's arts & crafts gardens in existence. We then make our way home during the mid-afternoon.
