London, Windsor, Stonehenge and Cambridge in

Four days in central London, plus two day trips to Windsor, Stonehenge, Bath and Cambridge, staying in the city throughout.

Within the city, cover Westminster, the West End, the South Bank near the Tower of London and the South Kensington museum district, each on its own day. On day four, join a day tour to Windsor Castle, Stonehenge and Bath; on day six, take a train to Cambridge for punting. Staying in Westminster, near Victoria Coach Station, makes it convenient to meet tour groups. Over one week, the itinerary balances city life and English countryside, suiting first-time visitors to the UK who don't want to change hotels often.

Stonehenge has short winter days, so the day tour will be compressed. Spring and autumn are the most suitable.
