Obviously, the answer is yes or else I wouldn’t be here looking for advice! So please steer me in a better direction.
Background: next June, my husband and I will take a 14-day Princess cruise roundtrip from Southampton to Norway (bucket list!). Flying in a day early and taking the National Express to Southampton. Upon our return June 29, we head to London for 3 days before flying out of Heathrow July 3.
Here’s where I’m getting bogged down. There are 3 things we want to do this time around (we spent 8 days in London in 2019 so we did a ton of sightseeing then): See Stonehenge. Visit Windsor Castle. Visit IWM Duxford.
I realize none of those are in London! My tentative planning doesn’t seem to make best use of our time – and do we even need to be based in London? On the other hand, we don’t want to be moving every night from hotel to hotel. What I have is:
1. Saturday: Book a transfer from the cruise ship to our London hotel with hopefully a Stonehenge stop on the way
2. Sunday: ?? Thinking about visiting the British Museum since we only skimmed it before
3. Monday: Take the train from London to Windsor (the castle is closed on Tues/Wed and St. George’s Chapel is closed on Sundays)
4. Tuesday: Take the train from London to Cambridge and hire a taxi to get us to IWM Duxford, return to pick us up there & go back to Cambridge, and return to London Tuesday evening
5. Wednesday: Take the Piccadilly line to LHR for our morning flight
I’m a little nervous about being away from London the day before we fly home so that’s playing into this as well.
Thanks for your advice and expertise!
