Tips

If you need to shorten the trip, combine Day 3 and Day 4 by focusing on one museum (either the British Museum or Tate Modern) and skip the evening show in Covent Garden; you’ll still see the major highlights in five days. To extend the stay, add a day in the West End for a full theater experience or a day trip to Windsor Castle for additional royal history. Adding a day in the countryside, such as a day trip to the Cotswolds or a coastal visit to Brighton, would also enrich your itinerary.
