Tips

If you’d like to extend your stay, add a day in Westminster to visit the Westminster Abbey and a guided river cruise, or spend a full day in Richmond Park for wildlife spotting. To shorten the itinerary, combine Day 3 and Day 4 by skipping the Viktor Wynd Museum and opting for a quick visit to the Whitechapel Gallery instead, which will free up a few hours for a relaxed afternoon tea.
