Cotswolds, England

Itinerary

England: London & the Cotswolds 9 days

9 days

England

Spend 9 days combining the character of London with the quieter pace of the Cotswolds and a glimpse of historic Oxford. In the capital, discover royal landmarks, grand galleries and well-loved neighbourhoods, balancing private experiences with time to explore independently. Afternoon tea at Claridge’s and an evening at the theatre add a distinctly London touch, while a food tour brings you closer to the city’s everyday rhythms. Beyond the capital, the Cotswolds offer a change of pace, with winding country lanes, village greens and historic market towns. Return to London for time beside the Thames, bringing together the city’s landmarks, food and culture before heading home.
