Tips

If you wish to shorten the trip, consider dropping one of the day‑trip destinations (e.g., Oxford or Cambridge) and allocating those days to a relaxed pace in London. To extend the adventure, add a two‑day excursion to the Scottish Highlands or a coastal retreat in Cornwall, both of which are reachable by train and provide a contrasting scenery to the capital.
