Tower Of London, Covent Garden & Harrod's
Explore the Tower of London; see the Crown Jewels; visit one of the world’s great shopping meccas, and stroll the narrow thoroughfares of Covent Garden.
WHAT YOU VISIT
Tower of London - William the Conqueror began construction of London’s fortress, notorious as a royal prison and the site of bloody executions. During your tour, see the famous Beefeater guards; explore the Tower’s winding passageways while learning its history, and view the magnificent Crown Jewels.
Harrod’s - No visit to London would be complete without a trip to Harrod’s. Created by Henry Charles Harrod in 1849, the impressive department store in fashionable Knightsbridge draws thousands through its doors each day. Outrageous prices are the norm, but Harrod’s must have everything imaginable under its roof. Don’t miss the superb food courts.
Covent Garden - Inigo Jones originally designed this West End pleasure garden in the 18th century. Today, Covent Garden is best known for its restored Victorian market building and its shops, pubs, street vendors and entertainers. It was the locale for Cockney flower-seller Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady."
