Victoria and Albert Museum. To others still it's newspaper stories wrapped
around fish and chips. It's England where pomp and circumstance and corner pubs

discussed, and where eccentricity isn't considered strange. In the evening meet
your fellow travelers over a welcome drink. Day 3 - Sat: London TouringTower of London & City Tour Meet your London guide this morning and head to the Tower of London.
