cricket, and bankers in bowlers. To others, it's West End theater and the
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
are not seen as an odd mix, where the civil rights of hedgehogs are seriously
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.
