We will be going to London and York/Yorkshire in September. This is our first trip to G.B. We have 14 full days, not counting travel days. 7 days in London including any day trips like Bletchley and maybe Windsor.
Wow, London. There's a lot to do! Anything related to WWII, tennis, and important/unique churches are a must. I moderately enjoy the royals. My husband has little interest. Of the palace/royals options, St. James Palace Chapel, Windsor, Buckingham, Hampton Court, Kensington, changing of the guard, others? Which ones were most enjoyable? Which were disappointing? We'll likely do the Tower of London. Anything have long waits/too much of a hassle despite being interesting? I'm 5-3. If I have to look at shoulders, or get to Changing of the Guard early for a long wait. I'd probably skip.
We like art probably more than most, but its not our highest priority. But, London does have world class art museums. . .I think V & A is probably a must.
Definitely the Churchill war rooms and the War Museum. I know I need advance tickets for the war rooms.
We will be doing some London Walks.
I was a big fan of Downton Abbey, will I be blown away at Highclere?
I've been pouring through guidebooks and watching RS and Youtube videos.
We will return to London at some point in the future.
