Then London is yours. Explore the British Museum, visit the City of London''s business district and the Tower of London. Call in at Madame Tussaud''s or browse through the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square.

Shopping is just as tempting and just as varied. Department stores line Oxford and Regent Streets. Famous labels parade down Bond Street and along the Burlington Arcade. Harrods and the boutiques of Knightsbridge are surely a must. For antiques and curiosities, visit Camden and Portobello Market, or Chelsea''s Kings Road.
You can make the most of your stay with a selection of optional excursions, from Windsor Castle to Oxford''s ornate colleges or even head out to Shakespeare''s Stratford-upon-Avon.
