After arriving in London and dropping our things off with our new bus driver, we took a short walking tour around the city before dinner. We got to see Big Ben, the London eye, do a little bit of shopping and see Picadilly Circus! 

Our second day in London we had a mixed bus and walking tour with our local tour guide. We got to see Buckingham Palace, one of the former Royal Gardens, Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abby. In the afternoon, we spent time exploring the tower of London, which is home to the Crown Jewels of the U.K. and several exhibits that tell the story of the fortresses history and the history of England.
Our third and final day, we toured the globe and learned a little bit about the history of theater and Shakespeare, visited a vibrant London market for lunch and caught a saw the production, Wicked, on the west end! 
Before we left, we snagged some pictures with our wonderful Tour Director Elena, our bus driver Jay, and our travel partners from Atlanta, Georgia!
