Join us at the iconic Tower of London for a spectacular commemorative display where nearly 30,000 ceramic poppies engulf the Tower grounds in a flood of red to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. With many of the poppies returning from the original 2014 installation, this new display serves as a visual representation of the sacrifice made by so many, but also as symbol of strength and resilience against overwhelming odds. With entrance to the Tower of London included as well as free time in the city to explore as you please, don't miss this historic occasion at the heart of the nation's capital.

Highlights

  • Return coach travel
  • Overnight stay at a selected hotel outside London (JG3 or JG4 rating) with breakfast
  • Admission to the Tower of London & the Poppies at the Tower installation
  • Free time in London for shopping & sightseeing

Itinerary

From a morning pickup in your local area, we travel by coach to London for some sightseeing. From plenty of shopping opportunities on Oxford Street and in Covent Garden to discovering the city’s iconic sights, there’s plenty to do. Later, we continue to the hotel for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.

After breakfast, we check out of the hotel and make our way back into central London for the spectacular poppy display at the iconic Tower of London. Our visit also includes admission into the ancient fortress itself, so there’s plenty to explore. Later, we rejoin the coach mid-afternoon for our journey home.


Accommodation

We’ll stay at a well-appointed hotel outside London (JG3 or JG4 rating). The comfortable rooms are en suite and other facilities include a bar and restaurant.

Your hotel will be confirmed approximately 3 weeks before departure, therefore we cannot guarantee that the hotel will have a lift and/or ground floor rooms and may be unsuitable for those with limited mobility.

Hotel Rating

Hotels with a JG3 rating tend to be a more formal style of hotel, often part of a hotel chain, or are very-welcoming family-owned properties. Generally, they offer a greater range of facilities and services, and bedrooms tend to be a little more spacious with additional features. Public areas are larger and include lounge seating, bar and restaurant with good quality food served either buffet style or waiter service.

Accommodation in our JG4 category is of an even higher standard, typically offering a wide range of facilities and services. Bedrooms are designed to make your stay the most comfortable possible and the staff provide a service that reflects the detail and quality. You can also expect higher standards of food and beverages.


Helpful Information

All of our London breaks include free time at leisure and we use a central coach drop-off point for our London tours, so these breaks may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. You will be required to make your own way to the theatre and/or attraction.
