As the seat of the Bishop of London, the cathedral serves as the mother church of the Diocese of London, where notable remembrances have been served here, including Queen Victoria's jubilee, birthdays of Queen Elizabeth II, and funerals of luminaries like Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher.
Spires & Plays

TOUR HIGHLIGHT - A LEGEND SLEPT HERE: Ah, love! Even more true as young Shakespeare's fiancée was eight years his senior. See Anne Hathaway's Cottage, the family home where the bard's wife-to-be was born and courted by young Will. Built more than 500 years ago, much of the original structure remains. Visit Shakespeare's Birthplace and family home in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon. Hear tales of his family life, marriage, and children with a close look at fascinating artifacts in a world-class collection assembled by the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust.
Cottage Stones & Roman Spas
Take a scenic drive through the picturesque Cotswolds, characterized by rolling hills and charming honey-colored stone cottages, to Lacock, one of England's best-preserved villages. Owned almost entirely by the National Trust, its unspoiled appearance has featured in the Harry Potter films and Downton Abbey. In Bath, visit the amazing excavations of the Roman Baths, and take some time to visit this fascinating city. 138 mi / 222 km.
TOUR HIGHLIGHT - CULTURAL GEMS: The traditions of one ancient Roman ritual are in full flow in Bath, amid the remarkable Roman and Georgian architecture and the best-preserved Roman Baths of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city of Bath sits above geothermal springs that bubble up from the limestone below. Bath also turns up the heat with some of Britain's grandest Georgian buildings, a mecca for elite 18th-century society.
Mysterious Monoliths
Try to unravel the mystery of prehistoric Stonehenge and explore the visitor center with its imaginative exhibitions, then view the monument up close. Enjoy some free time on your return to London. 123 mi / 197 km.
TOUR HIGHLIGHT - HISTORY & MYSTERY: Ponder the who, what, why, and how of Stonehenge, one of the most impressive prehistoric megalithic monuments in the world. Its sheer size and sophisticated architectural design have earned its legendary reverence as the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. Although its original purpose is a mystery, the concentric monuments hold spiritual significance for people from around the world who gather at the massive stone circles to celebrate the summer solstice.
Safe travels until we meet again!
