Tips

If you’d like to shorten the trip, consider dropping the day trips to Oxford, Bath & Stonehenge and focusing on the core London attractions; this can shave off three days while still covering the highlights. To extend the stay, add a day in Windsor to visit the royal castle, or spend an extra weekend exploring the nearby countryside of the Cotswolds for a peaceful contrast to the city’s hustle.
