We land at Heathrow at 730am on Sat Nov 23. Arriving from US west coast so will be jet lagged. Family of four including two teenagers. We have seven days in London and are staying at Citadines Trafalgar Square. Trying to figure out how to spend the first day get Jet lag and work out scheduling for pre-purchased tickets.
Given its the only Saturday we'll be in London, we would like to tour the Palace of Westminster. Would aiming for 12pm tour start time be ok given transit from Heathrow to hotel to drop bags? Assuming flight isn't terribly late it seems like we could possibly get to the hotel by 10am or 11am? Would appreciate if someone could validate that assumption.
After the Parliament tour, we were thinking of either touring Westminster Abbey or the Churchill War Rooms. Given it seems like we could spend more time at the Churchill War Rooms, thinking we could save that for another day. Timed entry tickets for the Abbey are not yet available online, but should I pre book when they are available? If so what start time should I aim for given the Parliament tour? Something like 230pm or 300pm?
Advice very much appreciated.
