Travel and LeisureFodorsUSA TodayNew York TimesNational GeographicWashington PostVogue

The United Kingdom is so full of charms that you could spend weeks there without ever feeling tired. Yet, one week is enough to take in its magic and get a taste of everything that makes this country unique. Start in London, Britain's dazzling capital, with its many royal landmarks, lush parks, and bustling neighborhoods. In London, you can enjoy peaceful riverside walks, a ride on an iconic black taxi, an unforgettable Afternoon Tea session, and copious amounts of art, history, and culture at the city's many free museums and galleries. For a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of this shiny metropolis, a day trip to the Cotswolds and Oxford wouldn't be a bad idea before heading to Bath, a gorgeous destination known for its Ancient Roman baths and beautiful architecture.

One of our team members will be available to answer any questions and arrange local services leading up to and during your trip. You will receive access to your Guest Page, with its information on the best the UK offers, including things to see and do, and other inside tips from restaurant recommendations to tipping advice. Upon request, we will provide you with an eSIM with data that you can use to reach your local JayWay contact (whom you will meet in person) throughout your trip. In all our destinations, we offer a variety of memorable 3- to 5-star accommodation options, including boutique hotels and charming B&Bs. With our firsthand experience, we can ensure they are all clean, comfortable, and centrally located, with local ambiance.

Day 1 - Arrival in London

After landing at London Heathrow Airport, you will be met in the arrivals hall by your driver, who will take you directly to your accommodation in central London. The journey will take approximately 50 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

A Late Afternoon Stroll Along The Thames

Suggestion to explore on your own

London is Europe's most fascinating metropolis, home to one of the Old Continent's prettiest riverbanks. For a leisurely introduction to London, we recommend a twilight stroll along the River Thames taking in several of the city's most emblematic landmarks. Starting at Big Ben, Westminster Palace and the Houses of Parliament, stay on this side of the river and walk east along Victoria Embankment, with views of the London Eye ferris wheel on the opposite bank, wandering through the Victoria Embankment Gardens and passing the ancient Egyptian obelisk, Cleopatra's Needle. After Blackfriars Bridge, cross the pedestrian Millennium Bridge. As you do so, spin around and admire the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. Once across, you'll be right by Shakespeare's Globe. Head west to pass the Tate Modern Gallery and go under Blackfriars Bridge once more to arrive at the Oxo Tower, where you can drink in one of the best views in London at the rooftop bar while trying on of their signature cocktail creations.

The Natural History Museum is packed with exhibits that offer a glimpse into the natural world, while narrating the 4.5 billion-year history of the planet. The Science Museum concentrates on scientific principles and discoveries. Both feature interactive activities and displays that appeal to all ages, especially children. On the other hand, the Victoria & Albert Museum focuses on art and design, from fashion and jewelry to sculpture, textiles, and medieval treasures, hosting frequent paid temporary exhibits to keep people coming back. More centrally located, the British Museum is a treasure trove of objects from around the world, not just Britain. All of the museums feature charming on-site cafés, where you can take a breather between exhibits.

London's Quintessential Neighborhoods

Suggestion to explore on your own

London's diversity is reflected in its various neighborhoods, each with its own unique character. Some of these neighborhoods are more iconic than others, and strolling around them feels like starring in your favorite movies set in London. Notting Hill is, without a doubt, the most cinematic neighborhood in London, and you won't get enough of its pastel-colored buildings and all the vintage treasures you'll find at the famous Portobello Road Market. If Notting Hill captivates you with its bohemian soul, Chelsea, another of London's must-visit neighborhoods, will fascinate you with its elegance as you stroll along its leafy streets, past grand mansions and designer boutiques.

Twilight in a Golden City

Suggestion to explore on your own

Upon arriving in Bath, a perfect way to begin your visit is by exploring Pulteney Bridge, one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Shops line both sides of the bridge, so crossing it feels more like strolling down a street than just going over a river. You can also head down to the riverside path and walk underneath the bridge for a different perspective. As evening falls, Bath’s sandstone facades glow beautifully under soft lighting. Begin with dinner at one of the city’s elegant Georgian townhouses, then wander past the illuminated Abbey and through the charming streets around Abbey Green. For a truly memorable first evening, unwind at Thermae Bath Spa, where you can soak in the naturally warm rooftop pool as twilight settles over the city’s skyline.

For a closer look into history, visit Sally Lunn’s, one of the city’s oldest houses, to try their legendary brioche-style bun.
